For this holiday season RBW, will provide shipping through a third party. This means that RBW will make all of the candles and a third party shipper will pack and ship all of the orders out. Why? This allows for more accurate and faster fulfillment times because RBW consists of just me! This way, everyone will get their holiday orders out and receive them in time. If possible please try to order during the pre order, not only do you get 15% off, after the pre order there will be a small surcharge of $3/order to make sure that you get your package in time. This also helps me gauge how many candles to make/ pre pare for future orders. Orders placed during the pre order will ship between 12/1-12/13. Even though many pre cautions have been taken to make sure your order arrives in time for the holidays, as always, any orders not received in time ( only at the fault of RBW) is entitled to a full refund and 20% OFF your next order, no questions asked! Thank you so much for your understanding and patience!
