All orders are shipped with Royal Mail; you can select to have your order shipped with 1st or 2nd class services. Please be advised that this does not reduce the order fulfilment time.

Rest assured, our team are available to assist in any way possible. 

Delays and lost orders are very rare, however unfortunately instances do occur whereby your order is delayed or does go missing. 

After 7 working days from the date of shipment, we'll be able to assist with locating your parcel. Unfortunately we are unable to replace any missing items until 7 working days, from the date of shipment, has lapsed. 

Firstly, please accept our apologies for any items received in error. 

Missing items:

Please let us know of the items that are missing from your order. All shipments are booked in with the exact weight, so we are able to quickly confirm an item is missing and arrange these to be shipped to your promptly. 

Items Received in Error:

In this instance, please take a photo of the items you've received in error. We will then be able to assist further and arrange the correct item to be sent promptly, if applicable. 

If you have ordered any other items with your subscription box, then all items will be shipped together when your subscription box is due to be sent (20th or next working day where applicable). This is because free shipping is included with your subscription box and when ordering together, no further shipping charges apply. 

Should you wish to receive any items prior to your subscription box, please order separately so shipping can be paid for.  

All subscription boxes are dispatched on the 20th of the month or next working day where applicable, via Royal Mail's second class service.

The cut-off date for subscription payments is the 19th of the month. Therefore, if you have ordered on the 20th of March, your first box will be dispatched on the 20th of April, to give an example.

All subscription boxes are dispatched on the 20th of the month (or following working day whereby the 20th falls on a weekend or bank holiday). 

98% of subscription boxes arrive within 3 working days of dispatch. If your box hasn't arrived within 7 working days since shipment, please contact us so a member of the team can assist. 

Changing your payment method is as simple as logging in to your account and clicking 'edit' or 'add payment method' under the 'payment methods' tab.

When on the log in page of our website, click 'manage your subscription' and you'll be asked to enter your email address to receive a secure log in code.

You are welcome to email our team at hello@glassandwick.com to check that this has been changed, quoting the last 4 digits of your card number for us to cross reference. 

All subscriptions are charged once per month, on or very close to the same date you initially subscribed.

If you subscribed around the 20th of the month, it is likely that your first box will be in transit during the same time your second payment is taken. The second payment is for the following month's box. 

Rest assured, you have not been charged twice for the same box. If you wish to change your payment date, please contact us so we can change the date to one that suits you best. 

To log in to your subscription account, visit our log in page and click 'click to manage your subscription'. You'll then be asked to enter your email address for a secure log in code.

Any declined payment is attempted 2 further times, afterwhich our system automatically cancels your subscription. This means that if your payment was declined once, our system will automatically try again later that day.

There are several common reasons why your payment was declined:

- Insufficient funds

- A change of billing address

- A new card issued

- Your bank's security measures have changed

In the case of insufficient funds, you can top up your balance ready for the next charge later that day. Once successfully charged, you'll receive an order confirmation email.

In the instance whereby your billing details have changed, you will need to log in to your customer account (see 'Managing Your Customer Account' above if not activated). Once logged in, you can ammend your billing details. Please note, once successful your next charge will be scheduled for 30 days time, therefore should you wish to be included in this month’s box, please email hello@glassandwick.com

If you're stuggling to make any amendments, please call us on 0115 8500998 for us to sort this for you. You are able to email us with any address changes, however for new card payment details, please do not detail this private information to us via email, as we can not guarantee the security of this sensitive information.

If none of the above apply, it is likely your bank's security measures have changed. Depending on with whom you bank with, you may be able to manage these security measures in your banking app, however it may be that you need to call the bank to ask why this payment has been denied.

Your customer information can be edited at any time via your customer account. You can also cancel your subscription via your account, too.  Alternatively, please email us and we will be able to edit/cancel your subscription manually. 

Please be advised that if you have already paid for this month's subscription, one final box will be received after you have cancelled. Rest assured, you will not be charged from the date of cancellation. 

Unfortunately, due to the nature of the subscription service, we are unable to cater to scent preferences and, unless faulty, can not swap any scents. We hope in this instance that you are able to gift these to a friend or family-member for them to enjoy instead. 

The subscription service is designed for customers to enjoy experiencing a variety of different scent profiles, whilst making a small saving each month, as well as enjoying multiple exclusive perks throughout the year. Whilst we would love you to be one of our monthly subscribers, if you consider yourself to be well accustomed to which type of scent profiles you like and dislike, you may find that ordering specific scents, rather than subscribing, is more appropriate for you.

Due to the nature of the shipping process, our team are unable to view any notes added to subscription boxes or 24 hours of scent orders.

Please therefore email hello@glassandwick.com with any queries you may have.

You’ll experience a warm welcome to our Nottingham showroom, with calming music, a glass of bubbles (or perhaps a cup of tea?)  and a comfortable seat under our beautiful floral installation. 

Your workshop host will take you through your ‘scent menu’, where you’ll immerse your senses in an array of Glass & Wick scents, all whilst broadening your knowledge of different scent profiles as well as lead, heart and base notes. 

Once you’ve chosen a scent you love, you’ll follow Glass & Wick’s tried and tested methods and recipes to make your very own candle. 

You’ll be guided through the entire process by your candle-making expert, to ensure your finished candle is as perfect as if you bought it straight from our shop. We’ll share hints and tips along the way, as well as our in-depth candle care knowledge.

At the end of your relaxing candle making experience, you’ll be more than welcome to peruse a curated collection of Glass & Wick products, taking advantage of an exclusive 10% ‘on-the-day’ discount.

Our candle making experiences last between approximately 1 hour 30 minutes and 2 hours.

Your host will also be available for a period of approximately twenty minutes at the end of your experience, to provide the opportunity for you to peruse a curated collection of Glass & Wick products, so that you can take advantage of your exclusive 10% discount code.

This is of course completely optional and you're welcome to leave as soon as your experience is finished.

Our workshops will begin promptly at the advertised time. Please therefore arrive no earlier than fifteen minutes before this time and no later than five minutes before the session is due to start. This allows time for your host to welcome you with a drink, allow you to settle in and ensure a relaxed environment. Of course, sometimes these things can't be helped! If you’re running late for any reason, please contact us by telephone on 0115 850 0998.

You're more than welcome to dress as you wish, however we advise wearing comfortable clothing. We also advise against wearing tops with dangling sleeves as your sleeves my impede your ability to safely and accurately mix and pour. 

Spillages may result in stained clothing, therefore please bear this in mind. An apron will be provided.

Each candle requires a minimum of 24 hours to cure. Your candle will then go through a final heating process to ensure a beautifully smooth top, ready for enjoying at home! This is also when the wick will be trimmed, the vessel polished for a final time and the label applied - each step professionally carried out to ensure you receive a truly special end product.

The final step to making your candle will be assembling your candle box and signing it off as your own, ready to receive it just a few days later.

If you're local, you're most welcome to come and collect your candle/s up to 3 working days later (collection time arranged at the end of the experience).

The performance of any wax melt is dependent on the way the wax melt is heated. 

Too hot and the wax melt will burn off the fragrance too quickly, resulting in a very short, strong scent, likely progressing to the unwanted smell of burning wax. This is often caused by either a large tealight (8 hour or deep 4 hour tealight) or a short wax melt burner (less than ~9cm in depth). 

For the wax melt to last for the advised time of ~12 hours, always use a small, 4 hour tealight and a wax melt burner between ~10 and ~13cm tall. This will maintain an even heat throughout. 

If you find that the scent of your wax melt isn't very strong when burning (known as the hot throw) it is very likely that the wax melt isn't being heated enough to effectively release the fragrance. 

This is often caused for the following reasons:

Using an electric burner - Electric burners with a low electrical output (wattage less than ~28W), can often not get warm enough to emit the fragrance. 

Defective tealight - Defective tealights can be even be found amongst your favourite brand of tealights, therefore first we advise to simply swap the tealight. If the same issue keeps occuring, it's worth trying a different packet of tealights entirely. 

Tall wax melt burner - It may be that your wax melt burner is too tall, meaning that the tealight placement is too far away from the base of the wax melt dish. The burner should typically be no more than ~10-12cm tall. If you have an alternative burner to try, this will help ascertain exactly what the issue is. 

Often some trial and error will quickly ascertain exactly what the issue is. 

Our wax melts are made from vegan-friendly and cruelty-free ingredients.

None of our products are ever tested on animals. 

Yes! We very proudly have never once contained our wax melts in any plastic packaging. This makes our manufacturing process much more labour intensive, however it's a small price we are always willing to pay! 

We also use FSC certified cardboard. 

Due to the nature of how wax melts emit fragrance, a wax melt will always provide a stronger scent throw. This is because the wax acts a carrier to the fragrance, allowing the fragrance to be heated and 'throw' the scent. In contrast, a candle is fuelled via the wick, using a combination of the wax and fragrance oil to produce the scent throw. 

We recommend using scented candles to add ambience and a gentle aroma throughout a small-medium sized room; ideal for intimate dinner parties, sitting rooms, bathrooms and bedrooms. If you're looking for a strong scent throw to fill an entire space, we would recommend a wax melt.

A natural occurrence of vegetable wax, cracks can occasionally occur during the colder weather. This is simply due to temperature changes the candle has been exposed to since being poured and then arriving with you. 

Don't worry - this won't affect the candle's performance or quality in any way, and will be gone after the first burn. 

Any candle will tunnel if it's not been burned properly (well, that is so long as it is a good quality candle). Every candle has a memory, so the next burn is only as good as the last. 

To ensure it melts all the way to the edges, follow the candle care guide which is popped inside every one of our candle boxes. On this candle care guide, you'll see we advise always burning the candle for a full 4 hours on the first burn and then up to 4 hours every burn, until the wax has melted all the way to the edges. This is known as a "full-melt pool".

You'll find that as the candle burns down, it takes less time for the wax to melt to the edges. This is because the heat is retained further down the candle, assisting with the melting. 

Maintaining a safe and effective wick height will ensure the candle burns just as it should. Always trim your candle wick to 5mm in height before each burn (don't worry, we've done this for you, ready for the first burn). 

Trimming your wick will also ensure that the candle does not burn too hot/too quickly, allowing for a safe, clean burn all the way down. Our wicks are also engineered to have a small amount of wax left at the bottom of the candle; this is so you can't burn the candle when there's not enough wax left, preventing the vessel from becoming too hot and breaking.
