If you chose the wrong item, made a mistake, or simply don’t like your item we may (on a case by case basis) offer a store coupon to the value purchased, less a 20% restocking fee and shipping, providing that the goods are returned to us in original condition (you will need to pay the cost of return). The coupon code will be emailed to you on the following week of your goods being returned.

ORDERING, ACCEPTANCE and PRICING
The items offered are subject to availability and may be withdrawn at any time. We reserve the right to refuse to accept an order request in whole or in part, even after payment is made, up until the time of dispatch from our warehouse/s. If an order is refused you will be refunded via your method of payment. We are not required to give any reason for the refusal of an order however common reasons include; we have insufficient stocks to meet a random bulk order, we suspect a customer of hoarding supplies, we believe that supplies are being resold under a different brand/name without our permission, an admin’ or system error prevents us from meeting previously agreed orders.
Once accepted (and the order is paid) we will process your order and an e-mail confirmation of dispatch will be forwarded to you.
The prices quoted are in New Zealand dollars (NZD) and are fully inclusive of government taxes (GST). We do not offer export (zero rated) pricing. Prices are for internet orders only and are subject to change at any time without notification.
Unless an item is open for pre-orders on our website we do not offer rainchecks on out of stock items.
CANCELLATION OF ORDERS
Order cancellations must be put in writing. To cancel an order, please send an email detailing the transaction to info@candlecreations.co.nz . If the order has not been shipped we will immediately cancel it with no penalty. If the order has been shipped, unfortunately you will incur the cost of returning the goods.

We also accept Paypal
Processing/Admin fee:
We reserve the right to charge you a processing or administration fee of between 1% and 5% for certain payment methods. This fee is to cover any additional costs incurred by us in offering you the payment method. Where applicable the fee incurred is shown as a transaction fee at the checkout.
Contract:

FREIGHT FREE POLICY
Candle Creations may from time to time offer free delivery on orders above a certain value. The value of the freight free threshold is subject to change and is usually made clear at the check out.
How to claim the free freight offer; When checking out, assuming your order meets the minimum value for free delivery, you will notice an option for “Free Delivery” will appear in the delivery options. It is your responsibility to choose this option should you wish to redeem it. Please note that we do not offer shipping refunds should you fail to redeem your free shipping, this is because the administration cost of processing your refund would be greater than the value of the refund.
Exemptions to Freight Free Policy. Some big, bulky, orders and items will be exempt from any free delivery offer. This is usually items like pallet loads of wax or jars, very bulky orders, deliveries to hard to reach places, heavily discounted items, or items that attract very high discounts due to higher volume. Usually, you will find notes warning about free delivery exemptions within the product listings. Exemptions are entirely at the discretion of Candle Creations and we will notify you prior to dispatching your order should there be any additional freight to pay so that you can decide whether to proceed.
DELIVERIES
Candle Creations offers deliveries to most major areas of New Zealand by courier. A delivery is interpreted as an attempted delivery by our chosen courier company. We do not accept liability or delay in the event there is no-one to receive the delivery at the delivery address. You may or may not be asked for a signature on delivery. Deliveries will not be left on your premises if no-one is home unless you expressly request it when you check out. If you are comfortable for the goods to be left if no-one is home, please state this on your order in the comments section and advise a safe & secure place for the order to be placed. If a secure place cannot be found for the goods they will be taken back to the depot. If redelivery is attempted you maybe charged a second delivery fee. We cannot accept any responsibility for theft or loss once goods are delivered. Please contact us directly if you’d like to make alternative delivery arrangements. For security reasons we can not deliver to Post Office boxes , however if you live in a small country town and items are usually delivered to the post office or central pickup point, please provide the physical address, not the PO box.
All items purchased from Candle Creations are made pursuant to a shipment contract. This means that the risk of loss and title for such items pass to you upon our delivery to the carrier. Please allow 5 business days for shipment. If the delivery details given by you are incorrect, and thus affecting delivery we may have to charge an additional delivery charge.
