Orders, Shipping and Pickup
9 questionsHow long does order processing take?
Orders are typically processed within 3–5 business days.
Processing time is the time needed to prepare your order before it ships and does not include carrier transit or delivery time. During holidays, sales, product launches, or other busy seasons, processing may take longer.
Once your order ships, you will receive tracking information by email.
Can I change my delivery address?
Delivery-address changes may be made before your order ships.
Contact us as soon as possible at hello@blackluxecandles.com and include your order number and the correct delivery address. Once an order has shipped, we cannot guarantee that the delivery address can be changed.
What happens if my order arrives damaged or incorrect?
Please contact hello@blackluxecandles.com as soon as possible and include your order number, clear photos of the item, photos of the shipping box and packaging when applicable, and a brief description of the problem.
All sales are final, but damaged or incorrect items will be reviewed for a replacement or another appropriate resolution. Please keep the item and original packaging until we confirm that the review is complete.
What happens if my package is lost in transit?
Contact hello@blackluxecandles.com with your order number and tracking information.
We will review the shipment and, when necessary, open an investigation with the shipping carrier. A replacement or refund will be considered after the carrier completes its investigation and confirms that the package is lost.
Can I cancel my order?
All sales are final. Because orders may begin processing shortly after they are placed, cancellations are not guaranteed.
Contact hello@blackluxecandles.com as soon as possible if you believe there is an error with your order.
Can I return or exchange an order?
All sales are final, and we do not accept returns or exchanges.
Damaged or incorrect items will be reviewed separately. Contact hello@blackluxecandles.com with your order number and supporting photos.

Products and Candle Care
2 questionsWhat are Black Luxe candles made from?
Our candles are made with a blend of soy and vegetable waxes, premium fragrance oils, and lead-free wicks.
Because our candles are made with a wax blend, slight variations in color, texture, and appearance may occur. These differences do not affect the quality or performance of the candle.
How should I care for my candle?
Trim your wick to approximately 1/4 inch before each burn.
During the first burn, allow the wax to melt evenly across the surface to help prevent tunneling. Always place your candle on a stable, heat-safe surface away from drafts, children, and pets.
Never leave a burning candle unattended. Visit our Candle Care Guide for complete care and troubleshooting instructions.
Classes and Experiences
8 questionsWhat is included in the candle-making experience?
Your guided experience includes choosing your vessel and fragrance, preparing and pouring your custom candle, and time to relax while it cools and sets.
Each guest makes one custom candle. Class guests also receive 20% off Black Luxe products during their visit.
How long does the candle-making class take?
Please plan for an experience of up to two hours. Your group may finish sooner depending on class size and pace.
What is the age requirement?
The candle-making experience is designed for guests ages 10 and older.
Guests ages 10–13 must have a parent or guardian attend and remain nearby. Guests ages 14 and older may attend independently. Requests for younger guests must be approved in advance and are not guaranteed.
Can I bring food or alcohol?
Yes. Food and celebration cakes are welcome, and the experience is BYOB with no corking fee.
Anyone consuming alcohol must be 21 or older. Please bring any cups, plates, utensils, or serving supplies you need, and contact us in advance for larger food or décor setups.
Can I cancel or reschedule my reservation?
Reservations may be canceled for a full refund or rescheduled when requested at least 48 hours before the scheduled experience.
Requests made within 48 hours are reviewed individually and are not guaranteed. Contact the Black Luxe team as soon as possible if your plans change.
Will my candle be ready when the class ends?
Yes. The experience is timed so your candle can cool and set and is intended to be ready when class ends.
If you leave early, you may need to return for pickup or request shipping for an additional fee. Candles left at Black Luxe may be held for up to 30 days.
