Peggy T Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Has anyone else experienced ridiculously long times to process orders from Wooden Wick Co? I took advantage of one of their recent sales and ordered a bunch of FO. I ordered on November 28th and it still hasn't been processed three weeks later! I get it: there's a pandemic, USPS is a mess, and it's the holidays. But I would at least expect some kind of communication from them about the processing time. All their website says is orders process in 3-7 business days and it could be a bit longer when they're busy. But really, it's been 15 business days--and frankly, if I had that much going on I would be working 7 days a week. Rant over. Well, probably not...😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallTayl Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 They are super slow even on normal days. It took at least 3 weeks to process an order of 100 tube wicks last year. If ordering wax, there’s even more time to unpack and repackage into their colors. After the sales and combined with the pandemic and it is unbelievably worse. No communication ever. I stopped counting on them for anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightLight Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 I would cross them off as supplier. First of all there are great suppliers like Aztec. Aztec sends out updates all the time which I appreciate, without the attitude I get sometimes from CS. If I shipped out like that from WW I would be out of business. That’s not good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErronB Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Yep, same story when I used to test all their stuff. I don't use any of it now, and probably never will again. Unless they come out with a wooden wick that actually works consistently but I don't see that happening. Some of the FO's smell nice but there was nothing I couldn't live without, especially for the ridiculous price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karinz40 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 So where can I get a really good wood wick that will stay lit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know their phone number? It's not anywhere on their website. Ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peggy T Posted December 28, 2020 Author Share Posted December 28, 2020 Updated Update: They responded to my DM yesterday and promised to send a replacement ASAP. So I give them props for (hopefully) resolving that quickly. I'm still not crazy about a number of their practices (slow order fulfillment, no phone number contact, and inability to review products) but I do appreciate their messaging me quickly after I complained.

The supply of wood pellets is as terrible as the search for a decently consistent wooden wick. Some brands just don’t light without a LOT of help. I stick a wooden wick in front of the igniter and it catches enough to spread the flame across the burn pot and light on the first try. the stack of wooden wicks I have is finally not a waste of $, especially given the cost of a new igniter that I really didn’t need after all. 🤗😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sad to say, nowhere at this point. It took me 3 years (I don't give up that easily) to finally realize this type of wood wick manufacture is inherently inconsistent.

Pineapplez Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Hey, can anyone on this thread tell me how to access the live chat for Wooden Wick Co? I scoured the website and can't find a link or popup anywhere, and I've been waiting over a week for an email response from them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
