How to start a return

  • Contact us at sales@goathlandcandles.com with your order number and reason for return.

  • If your return is approved, we’ll send you the return shipping address and instructions.

  • Pack items securely, ideally in the original shipping box and protective materials.

  • We are not responsible for returns lost or damaged in transit; we recommend an insured, trackable shipping method.

Refunds

  • Once we receive and inspect your return, we’ll email you to confirm approval or rejection.

  • Approved refunds are issued to your original payment method within 5–7 business days; your bank or card issuer may take additional time to post the credit.

  • If a returned item is not in original, resalable condition (including any signs of burning or use), we may refuse the refund or issue a partial refund at our discretion.

Exchanges

  • We do not offer direct exchanges.

  • If you’d like a different item, please submit a return request (if eligible) and place a new order.

Lost or missing packages (US only)

  • If tracking shows “delivered” but you did not receive your package, please check with household members and neighbors and contact the carrier first to open a trace.

  • If the carrier cannot locate the package, contact us with the case details so we can review options, which may include a replacement or store credit at our discretion.
