Shipping & Returns

Last updated October 22, 2026

Every candle is poured and wrapped by hand in Rockport. Here’s how it gets to you, and what we’ll do if something isn’t right.

When your order ships

Orders usually ship within 3–5 business days. We pour in small batches, so during busy seasons it can take a little longer; if so, we’ll let you know by email.

Shipping costs

  • Standard shipping: $8 per order, anywhere in the United States. Delivery usually takes 3–7 business days after your order ships.
  • Free shipping on orders of $75 or more (before tax and gift wrap).
  • We currently ship within the United States only.

You’ll get a tracking number by email once your order is on its way.

Local pickup for friends & family

If we’ve given you a local pickup code, enter it in your bag (“Have a local pickup code?”) and choose Local pickup at checkout. There’s no shipping charge, and we’ll email you when your order is ready, along with pickup details.

Gift wrap

Gift wrap is $5 per item, and we bag items together where we can. Add a note at checkout and we’ll handwrite it.

Warm weather

Beeswax can soften in hot delivery trucks. In the height of summer we may hold shipments to avoid sitting in a warehouse over a weekend. If you’re not home, please bring your package inside promptly.

Damaged or missing items

Beeswax tapers are delicate, and once in a while one breaks in the mail. If anything arrives damaged, email hello@kindleandhum.com within 7 days of delivery with your order email and a photo, and we’ll send a replacement or refund it, whichever you prefer. If a package is marked delivered but never arrived, let us know and we’ll help track it down.

Returns

  • Unburned, unused items can be returned within 14 days of delivery. Email hello@kindleandhum.com first and we’ll reply with where to send them.
  • Return shipping is paid by the customer, unless the item arrived damaged or we made a mistake.
  • Once we receive the return, we refund the item price to your original payment method within 5 business days. Shipping and gift wrap aren’t refundable.
  • For safety and hygiene, we can’t accept returns of candles that have been burned.
