Please read our CANDLE SHIPPING POLICY

While there’s not a reasonable way we can guarantee that candles will arrive the way they leave here, you should know about the extra measures we take to reduce the risk of them melting if left in a hot truck or on a hot porch. Because of these extra steps, we don't offer refunds for melted candles.

Used candles cannot be returned or refunded. Island Thyme Soap Company is not responsible for improperly burned candles.

Late or missing refunds (if applicable)

Usually in the case of missing or misdirected mail, it may help to ask your mail carrier if you see them regularly. Otherwise, if you think neighbors could have received it by mistake you may consider asking them, too.

Next, you could inquire with the Postmaster at your local Post Office. They will have a record of your package being processed, scanned, and loaded for delivery. The Postmaster is also able to confirm via GPS tracking that the package was scanned as "delivered" at your residence, instead of down the street or across town.
If the Postmaster confirms via GPS tracking that it was delivered to your address, then this is likely a case of postal theft. The following three things should happen next:

STEP 1- file a "Missing Mail Search Request" through the USPS through this website: www.usps.com/help/missing-mail.htm

STEP 2- report the suspected theft to the USPS Postal Inspectors by calling 877-876-2455 or online at www.uspis.gov

STEP 3- file a non-emergency police report with your local police to report the theft.

Once a package is scanned as "Delivered", the Island Thyme Soap Company has fulfilled the order and has no obligation to compensate buyers for lost or stolen packages. However, we understand this is a frustrating situation and can replace your items once I receive a copy of either the theft report to the USPS Postal Inspectors or your local police theft report. Reports can be sent to the address or email below.

Refunds (If Applicable)

If you haven’t received a refund yet, first check your bank account again.

Then contact your credit card company, it may take some time before your refund is officially posted. 

Next contact your bank. There is often some processing time before a refund is posted. If you’ve done all of this and you still have not received your refund yet, please contact us at info@islandthymesoap.com
