Once payment has been received and processed, your order will be shipped and you will receive a shipment notification by email if you provided a valid email address with your order.
Order Change Requests
Because we process and ship orders quickly, it is very difficult for us to alter an order once it has been placed. For this reason, we ask that you make sure all items have been added to your cart and your order has been double checked for accuracy before submitting your order. If you discover an error in the address information you entered, please call us as soon as possible to get this information corrected. If you place your order by phone, we will repeat the items on your order prior to ending the call to help ensure accuracy.
If you decide to change your shipping address after the order has already shipped, we may be able to contact the carrier to accommodate this request. However, there is a fee of $20 for any changes to the shipping address. There is no charge for an address change if the order has not been processed.
Payment Information
Payment for Online Orders
Payment for online orders can be made by any credit or debit card with a Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover logo as long as it was issued by a bank based in the United States or Canada. To help speed up the processing of your order, please make sure the funds are available before placing your order. You will not be able to submit your order if your credit/debit card is declined. First time orders or orders over $500.00 dollars will be shipped to the billing address only. Bank authorization is required for shipping to a non-billing address.
Payment for Phone Orders
Payment for phone orders can be made by any credit or debit card with a Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover logo as long as it was issued by a bank based in the United States or Canada. We will process the payment for your order while you are on the phone. If we are asked to hold an order for any reason, your order will be held for one week from the day it was placed. The order will be deleted from our records past that time, and you may incur a restocking fee.
Payment for Mail Orders
Payment for orders by mail may be made by cashier's check or money order. We are not able to accept payment by personal or business check.
Payment for Pick-Up Orders
When picking up your order at our facility, you may pay by any credit or debit card with a Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover logo as long as it was issued by a bank based in the United States or Canada. We also accept payment by a certified check, money order, or cash. Personal and Business checks are not accepted.
Using Multiple Forms of Payment
Unfortunately, we are unable to use multiple forms of payment on one order. If you would like to use 2 or more payment methods, you will need to place multiple orders.
Payment that is Declined
Payments from a credit or debit card can be declined by either your bank or card issuer as well as our payment gateway. Our payment gateway is set up with several filters to protect our customers from fraudulent charges. If the wrong billing address is entered on the order, this will trigger one of these fraud filters. If this happens, an error message will pop up at the checkout page and will tell you to try again. Please note that sometimes when this happens your bank will process that failed attempt and it will appear that the transaction went through. However, if you saw the error message saying that the billing address was incorrect, it means it was declined on our end and we have not collected any funds. We can confirm this for you by emailing you a copy of the transaction report from our payment gateway. You will need to contact your bank to see if they can reverse any pending charges from this attempted transaction.

Shipping FAQs
Why does my case of wax ship in its own box?
We ship cases of wax in separate boxes to ensure safety during transit. This is particularly important as shipping companies often add handling fees for packages over 50 lbs, making it more economical to ship each case individually.
My order should be shipping in multiple boxes, but I only have one tracking number. Why is that?
UPS often assigns a master tracking number for all packages in a shipment, though each box should have its own tracking number. You can visitwww.ups.comand enter your master tracking number to view the tracking information for each individual package.
How can I track my order?
Sign in to your account and navigate to the 'Account Dashboard' or 'My Orders' section. Click on 'View Order' for the relevant order, then select the 'Order Shipments' tab. You can track your shipment using the provided tracking number.
I've placed an order but still can't track it. When will tracking information be available?
Tracking information will become available once your order has been processed, packed, and a shipping label has been created. If it shows "shipment information sent to Carrier," it means your order is ready for shipment but hasn't yet been picked up by.
