5 out of 5 starsBeautifully packaged, arrived promptly, lovely scent. Excellent product. These candles are of the highest quality-so much better than can be found in any retail store. I promptly ordered more after receiving my first order. Sellers are wonderful and kind.

5 out of 5 starsThis candle is rich and dark and smells like the perfect espresso drink. I love it. It makes my home smell like a coffee shop, which is always good. Highly recommend everyone (especially coffee lovers) to get this scent!

About WilfredWax
Hand-Poured Soy Wax Candles
Wilfred Wax is a small, family owned candle company that operates out of a cozy kitchen in the Chicago suburbs. We use all natural soy wax to hand-pour soy candles with unique and memorable fragrance blends. In fact, we treat our candles like aromatic works of art. By adjusting each blend one ml of fragrance oil at a time, our scented waxes are thoroughly tested and tweaked until we've come up with a fragrance that we adore. Each candle is inspired by a beloved facet of our lives—whether it be an oft-visited study spot, a favorite tasty treat, a cherished book, or our nerdy indulgences.
So why soy candles? We totally dig soy wax. We love its milky appearance, excellent throw ("throw" = degree to which a wax produces fragrance), and American-grown ingredients. We even love its eccentricities; soy wax is stubborn, opinionated, and frankly, takes some getting used to. But it's worth it! Made with all-natural soy wax sourced from soybean farms, our candles burn cleaner, last longer, and smell stronger than other petroleum-based paraffin candles. We pour (pun intended) ourselves into making every batch excellent. Each and every candle is lovingly doted upon, personally wrapped, and carefully shipped by us.

A tracking number and insurance will be included with each Priority Mail order at no additional cost.
We offer to ship domestic orders over $75 for free! To claim your free shipping, enter the coupon code SHIPFREE75 at checkout.

Care instructions
Full care instructions for your candles and tarts are available on our website: http://www.wilfredwax.com/candle-care
Gift wrapping and packaging
If you let us know your order is a gift, we'd be happy to include a personalized note. Simply request a note and include the text in the note at checkout.
We always wrap candles carefully in foam and tissue paper and then place them in a small kraft box (which is placed in a larger envelope or box for shipping). So no matter the occasion, the candle will arrive looking like a gift! Tarts are also wrapped in foam and tissue paper.
If you're purchasing the "Let Them Eat Cake" candle, we offer free gift wrapping that includes a hand-written card and ribbon to make the craft box look even more festive.
Delivery Issues
Provided we packed the order as described above, Wilfred Wax is not responsible for any damage done to your order in shipping, nor are we responsible for stolen/lost packages that are reported as "Delivered" in the tracking data. Unfortunately, after the package leaves our hands, it is out of our control.
That being said, if your domestic package is missing for two weeks past its expected delivery date, we're happy to file a claim with USPS and resend your order. Feel free to contact us with any questions. If a package is returned to us because of an incorrect address or other delivery information, it is the buyer's responsibility to pay any additional shipping/packaging costs that are required.
