BridesVillage Unity Candle Summer Shipping Information
Depending on your location we will ship your candle at the beginning of the week (Monday or Tuesday) to help prevent your candle from melting inside a hot UPS warehouse over the weekend.
Also, during the summer months we ship out unity candles with ice packs free of charge to prevent heat damage to your candle. Ice packs are effective for two days, after which time we cannot guarantee the candle's condition upon arrival.

Unity Candle Summer Shipping Tips
During the hot summer months, even candles shipped with ice packs may be damaged if the package is left outside on a porch or doorstep. If possible, have your candle shipped to a business address or to a location where someone will be home during the day to receive it.
Unity Wedding Candle Lighting Tip:
Candles made of high-quality smokeless dripless wax will still burn faster and will drip if placed near a fan or window, or in a very hot room. If your church will have ceiling fans, etc., in operation during your ceremony, be sure to trim your wick to 1/4" or less (allows for a smaller flame) and place protective covering beneath the candle.
