Holly Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 How many of you ship your candles in the summer months? Especially soy users or those who use a very soft blend. I notice a lot of candle sites are offering shipping all the time. What do they do during the very hot times? I would hate for my candles to arrive melted and ugly.

chrisasst Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I have test shipped using priority mail and the candles arrive just fine.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandgirl Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I make sure I ship in the beginning of the week so my candles are not sitting in a truck or warehouse over the weekend.. So far that has worked for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleHippie Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I have been concerned about this also. I also see sites that stop shipping during the hottest summer months. Sometimes the products sit in hot trucks all day until they reach their destination. Recently when my wax order arrived it had spots that were melted. The wax was very soft and I could pull it apart with my hands. Made it nice for using but I wonder if candles made with it would probably arrive in the same condition.

candlelady Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I ship all year, but only give my customer the option of priority during summer months then go back and add parcel post starting in the fall. I use alot of newspaper for packing too..and use less bubble wrap as I believe that tends to keep more heat in the box. IMO:grin2: Ship on Mondays for sure too!

JenM Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 I tend to ship out the beginning of the week so there is not a package sitting in a warehouse or in a truck over the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
