This Refunds and Returns Policy applies to all purchases made through the Wick & Tallow website, including bespoke candle orders placed via the Studio.
Wick & Tallow specialises in bespoke, made-to-order products. Please read this policy carefully before placing an order.
Bespoke and made-to-order products
All candles created through the Wick & Tallow Studio are bespoke and produced specifically to your order. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Fragrance selection
- Vessel type and size
- Label or vessel artwork
- Box colour and box artwork
- Quantity
Because each product is custom manufactured based on your individual selections and artwork, Studio orders are not eligible for returns, refunds or exchanges.
Once an order has been placed and payment has been received, production is scheduled based on your confirmed specifications.
No cancellation or amendment after order placement
After checkout:
- Orders cannot be cancelled
- Orders cannot be amended
- Artwork and designs cannot be changed
This applies whether production has started or not, as all orders are prepared and scheduled specifically for you.
By placing an order, you confirm that:
- All selections and artwork are final
- You understand the order is bespoke and non-refundable
Statutory rights
Your statutory rights under UK consumer law are not affected.
However, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations, the right to cancel does not apply to goods that are made to the consumer’s specifications or are clearly personalised. Wick & Tallow Studio products fall into this category.

If your order arrives faulty or damaged due to a manufacturing or handling issue, please contact us within 48 hours of delivery.
To help us assess the issue, please provide:

Once reviewed, we may, at our discretion:
