Packages are shipped by ground methods, unless otherwise indicated by the customer.  At times, however, due to situations beyond the control of Buyacandle.com, packages may be shipped in a premium or express manner.  The customer will not be charged any additional fees for this service.

We realize that candles make wonderful gifts for those can't-miss gift giving times such as holidays and birthdays.  When completing the Checkout screen (Customer Information) please be sure and note the level of shipping you desire.  We ship our merchandise at five different levels.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Shipping amounts listed in the shipping method selection screen are maximum amounts.  Buyacandle.com will make every attempt to ship your purchases as efficiently as possible without sacrificing quality.  We want your order to arrive perfectly, quickly, and economically!  So, don't be surprised when your shipping is actually less!  ALSO, at times, if we feel we have not gotten an order out in a timely manner, shipping costs will be waived or reduced.  This is all about making YOU HAPPY!  And our way of saying thank you for your business.

1. Economy:  This method, provided the climate is to our liking, is by far the most inexpensive method for getting our wonderful candles to your door.   This is perfect when time is not of the essence, and you wish to save the most possible in shipping costs! (Special conditions may apply for Alaska & Hawaii.)

2. Standard: This method, provided the climate is to our liking, is by far the most popular.  This is considered "standard" by such carriers as the UPS, USPS, and FedEx Ground.  Again, this is the way to go when shipping cost is also a concern, but some predictability is required. (Special conditions may apply for Alaska & Hawaii.)

3. Express: This method, is often used when time is more of the essence, great for those unexpected events in life that occur where you still have some time to react.  This would be considered similar to UPS Three Day Select and Second Day Air in some instances.  When shipping cost is less of a concern and predictability a must. (Special conditions may apply for Alaska & Hawaii.)

4. Ultra Express: This method is usually used for the times in life when you need it as soon as you possibly can... An "I needed it yesterday order"  These orders are generally shipped UPS Next Day Air. When shipping cost is of little concern and getting the product as fast as possible is most important. (Special conditions may apply for Alaska & Hawaii.)

5. Ultra Express Saturday Delivery: This method is the same as Ultra Express, only with carrier assigned additional fees for weekend delivery.  Use this only in very extreme circumstances. (Special conditions may apply for Alaska & Hawaii.)

* Additional charges may be incurred under "Ultra Express Saturday Delivery" above and beyond that stated in the "Customer Information / Checkout Page"
