Order Processing & Dispatch
Most orders are processed and dispatched within 1–2 working days of being placed. We dispatch via Royal Mail using Click & Drop, so you'll receive a tracking reference by email once your order is on its way.
Please note that orders placed on weekends or bank holidays will be processed the next working day.
Made-to-Order Items
Our tall pillar candle variants are handmade to order. These items require additional time to prepare and will be dispatched within 1–3 working days. If your order contains both made-to-order and in-stock items, your entire order will be held until all items are ready.
If you need a tall pillar candle urgently — for example, as a gift — please get in touch before ordering and we'll do our best to help.
Delivery Timeframes
Estimated delivery times begin from the date of dispatch, not the date of purchase. While we work hard to meet these windows, delays can occasionally occur during busy periods or due to Royal Mail service disruptions, which are outside our control.
Questions?
If you have any questions about your order or delivery, please don't hesitate to contact us at info@phoenix-candles.co.uk and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.
