Shipping and Processing
At Lumière Dorée, we are committed to ensuring that your candles arrive safely and beautifully packaged. Below is our comprehensive shipping and processing guide to help you understand our procedures.
Processing Time
- Order Confirmation: Once you place your order, you will receive a confirmation email detailing your purchase.
- Processing Duration: Orders typically take 1-3 business days to process. This includes time for crafting, packaging, and preparing your candles for shipment.
- Custom Orders: If you have placed a custom order, please allow additional time for processing based on the complexity of your request.
Shipping Methods

- Shipping Rates: Rates are calculated based on the weight of your order and the distance to your delivery address. An online shipping calculator is available during checkout for transparency.
Packaging Guidelines
- Individual Wrapping: Each candle is wrapped in protective tissue or wax paper to prevent damage and scent mingling.
- Cushioning: Candles are placed in sturdy boxes with bubble wrap or packing peanuts to absorb shocks during transit.
- Labeling: All packages are clearly labeled with "Fragile" and "Do Not Stack" warnings to ensure careful handling.
Seasonal Considerations
- Heat Sensitivity: Candles are sensitive to heat. To minimize melting risks, we recommend shipping orders at the beginning of the week (Monday-Wednesday) to avoid weekend delays in hot warehouses.
- Insulation: During extreme temperatures, we may include insulation materials or ice packs to protect your candles from melting.
