2.1.1. You place an order on the Site by placing it through the website www.buycandles.shop.
2.1.2. When your order is placed with us and payment has been made at the end of the checkout process we will email you to acknowledge that we have received your order. We will accept payment by, American Express (AMEX), MasterCard, Visa, Debit cards or Apple Pay using Stripe Payments.

2.2. When you order goods from the Site you must ensure:
2.2.1. All the information that you provide to us is correct although we appreciate that from time to time errors might be made.

3.2. All orders received before 5pm Monday to Friday (inclusive) will be processed, printed and despatched the next working day by first class post and may take up to five working days to arrive.
3.3. Orders received after 5pm Monday to Friday, after the office has closed, will be treated as an order received on the following working day. For example if you order at 9pm on a Monday night, this will be treated as an order placed on Tuesday and therefore processed, printed and dispatched on the Wednesday by first class post and may take up to five working days to arrive.
3.4. Any orders placed over the weekend whilst we do not guarantee, we can normally process, print and dispatch these on the next working day, being the Monday unless there is a Bank Holiday.

4.1. We will not be liable for any damage caused to the candles through improper use.
4.2. We will send candles out by Royal Mail first class post which takes 1 to 3 working days on average. They can take up to 5 working days and we will not therefore be liable if an order is placed which does not allow 5 working days for delivery.
4.3. If an order is lost in the post we will supply a replacement to arrive 5 working days following a request.
4.4. You will receive an email confirming the order once payment has been made. If no such email has been received within 24 hours of placing the order, no payment has been received by us and no contract is supplied in place.
