Please select a safe delivery location to place the package (e.g. garage or patio). Delivery to a storage location of your choice is at your own risk. If the package is lost, neither Duftdeko nor the shipping service provider will be responsible for it. Please think carefully about where you want to leave the package.


It can happen that a package gets lost and the shipping service provider hands it over to neighbors, family members or the nearest parcel shop without this being evident in the shipment tracking. When this happens to us, we are all not happy and regularly give feedback to our shipping partner.

Unfortunately, due to contactless deliveries and an increased number of shipments, there may always be delays in the delivery of your packages. Please be so kind and ask your residents and immediate neighbors whether they have received your package. Then check the tracking information. If your package cannot be found, please contact us via email within 21 days of the specified delivery date.

If your package is severely damaged upon delivery, you should not accept it and return it. If you have already accepted the package, please check the products to see if they are also damaged. In this case, you can file a complaint.

If you purchase a product and you don't like it for any reason, you are welcome to return it within 14 days.

Please ensure that the product is in its original packaging and has not been used - in this case we unfortunately cannot issue a refund.

If you contact us, we will do our best to find a solution for you.

We are proud to always be able to provide you with the best quality. We carry out regular quality checks in our warehouse to ensure that only the best products are shipped to you.

Please note that small cracks may form in your candle. This is a normal physical behavior of the candle and happens when the wax contracts slightly, for example due to cold during transport. However, as soon as you light the candle and the wax becomes soft, these cracks should disappear. Your candle is therefore fully functional and will burn normally - neither the scent nor the burning time are restricted.

If you received an incorrect item, please contact us by email and let us know which products you received. Also send us photos of the incorrect products received. This way we can compare this with your original order and help you further.

We're sorry you're having a problem with your candle! Please write us an email with the subject “Product is damaged” and include a picture of the candle. You can then either request a replacement or a refund. We will then get in touch with you as quickly as possible.

Products

Our candles are made from beeswax and rapeseed wax and therefore come from Swiss beekeeping and European rapeseed cultivation , which means we reduce CO2 emissions . Another advantage is that the raw material rapeseed has the lowest impact on the environment and health.

On the one hand , beeswax can neutralize pollutants in the air , and on the other hand, it burns very brightly and purely and comes closest to the natural sunlight spectrum .

Additionally, our wicks are not soaked in lead , which can pose a major health risk. Instead, they are made from 100% organic cotton , which is safer and protects the environment.


Our candles are made in Switzerland.

The candles do not necessarily have to be used within a specific period of time, but we recommend using them within a year at the latest. Otherwise, the quality of the fragrance may negatively change.
