Shipping policy

Shipping Information

Every Sculptedwax order is packed with care from our Sydney studio.

As our candles are hand-poured in small batches and many pieces are made to order, please allow time for production and dispatch during busy periods, collection launches or seasonal events.

Once your order has been dispatched, you’ll receive tracking information via email.

Packaging & Gift Wrapping

Every order (excluding Bulk Candle Packages) is thoughtfully gift wrapped and includes a complimentary tealight candle.

For a more personal touch, leave your message in the “Order Special Instructions” box at checkout and we’ll include a handwritten note at no extra charge.

Damaged or Incorrect Orders

We take great care when preparing and packaging every order to ensure your candles arrive safely. Each piece is carefully wrapped and protected for transit.

In the unlikely event your order arrives damaged or incorrect, please contact us at hello@sculptedwax.com within 24 hours of delivery.

To help us assess the issue quickly, please include:

  • your order number
  • clear photos of the damaged item/s
  • photos of the packaging and box condition

Because damage claims must also be submitted through the courier company within their required timeframe, claims made after 24 hours of delivery may not be accepted.

Once reviewed, we’ll work with you to find the most appropriate resolution.
