WHAT IS THE LIFESPAN ON YOUR CANDLES?
We recommend burning them within one year of purchase for peak performance as we do not use any preservatives. 

CAN I GET AN UPDATE ON MY ORDER?
In order to keep up with our making schedule we work most every day. We don’t have the capacity to answer hundreds of update inquiries, when you placed an order, you received a confirmation e-mail. The next e-mail you’ll receive from us will be when we ship your order, or when it's ready to be picked up. Thanks so much!

I PLACED AN ORDER ONLINE, WHEN WILL IT SHIP?
Your order will ship according to our current turnaround time. When it ships, you will be sent an email confirming shipment. As we are a small, handmade business we can take up to 14 business days to ship your order out. There is a box you must select at checkout saying you agree to this before ordering.

MY ORDER DIDN'T ARRIVE!
You’ll get an e-mail when we create a shipping label for your package, it will contain a tracking number so watch for that. If you're outside of Canada you may not receive a tracking number however you should receive the email update. Please be aware that Land of Daughters Inc. is not responsible for delayed transit times once your order leaves the studio. We have no control over transit times once packages are given to the mail carrier. We also cannot see anything more than you can see on your tracking number page. Should your package become delayed or lost, a claim will need to be filed with the shipping carrier.

Please include your full name and order number in the email. Then we will remake and replace it for you.

REFUNDS, RETURNS, EXCHANGES AND STORE CREDIT
As a small business we use our profits to reinvest in growing our company. Running a studio takes money, and making things requires supplies that we have to pay for. As such, we ask you to consider your purchase carefully before making it because we do not do returns or refunds of any kind.

CAN YOU LEAVE THE RECEIPT OUT OF THE PACKAGE?
We do not provide a receipt with the amount you spent, instead your order will have a packaging slip that includes what was purchased as well as who it was purchased by. We don't leave this out as it's part of our packaging policies.

PRODUCT POLICIES/INFO


AROMA SPRAYS
Different fragrance combinations mixed with our linen mist recipe may cause a yellow, milky or cloudy appearance. This is normal and varies from scent to scent. It does not affect the way your mist will work or smell. Be sure to give these a shake before use to mix everything together for the best results.

CANDLES
Some candle scents contain vanilla, and due to this the wax may turn yellow. Fluorescent lights also can effect this. This is normal and varies from scent to scent. It does not affect the way your candles burn or smell and they are safe to use. We do not give refunds, exchanges or credits for this. The most common scents this happens with are Girl Gang, Bungalow and Reverie.

SCENTED PRODUCTS
All of our scented products are done so with high quality, phthalate and paraben free fragrance oils. Some scents are stronger than others, but all of these products are scented. If you are sensitive to scents, or have specific needs/wants with scents we encourage you to order a scent sampler to try them out first - or try them out in person at one of our stockists. We do not refund, exchange or return products that you don't like the scent of.

 

 

 

TIPS FOR CANDLE BURNING!
Trim wick to 1/4 inch before initial burn. Let burn for 2 hours to establish a full burn pool on first burn. Don't burn candles for longer than 4 hours at a time. Make sure you trim your wick before each burn. discontinue burning your candle when 1/2 an inch of wax remains and/or the wick detaches and moves off center.

 

CANDLE SAFETY IS IMPORTANT TO US!
We hope it’s important to you too. The following information has been taken from Health Canada’s Candle Safety webpage.
Candles can be a serious fire hazard if not used properly. There are a number of things you can do to reduce health and safety risks when you burn candles.

DON’T DO THESE THINGS WITH YOUR CANDLES:

  • leaving candles burning with no one in the room, or falling asleep or leaving the house with candles burning
  • burning candles close to things that can catch fire (like mattresses, bedding, curtains, cabinetry, upholstered furniture, decorations and clothing)
  • leaving burning candles within reach of children or pets

MINIMIZE YOUR RISK:
  • Trim candle wicks to a height of 5-7 mm (1/4 inch) before lighting the candle. Trim them again every 2-3 hours to prevent high flames.
  • Take extra care if you are burning candles with more than one wick. Avoid buying candles with multiple wicks that are close together.
  • Use well ventilated candle holders that are sturdy and will not tip over. Avoid wooden or plastic holders, as these can catch fire. Use caution with glass candle holders, which can break when they get too hot.
  • Never drop objects, like matches, into candles.
  • Keep burning candles away from materials that can catch fire (like curtains, decorations and clothing). If your clothes catch fire, “Stop, Drop and Roll.”
  • Keep burning candles out of reach of children and pets.
  • Do not leave candles burning with no one in the room.
  • Extinguish all candles before you go to sleep.
  • Do not burn candles that have lead in the wicks. When you buy candles, ask the retailer if the wicks contain lead.
  • Avoid using decorative oil lamps with liquid fuel if you have children under the age of five in your household. If you choose to use this type of candle, keep the fuel locked away, out of sight and reach of children. If you think your child has swallowed liquid fuel, contact your nearest poison control centre immediately.
  • Teach your children to be careful around open flames. Make sure they understand that candles are not toys, or something they can eat or drink.
