Delivery Times
Candles of Provence creates handmade and personalized products. Each candle, pouch, and gift is crafted to order.
Delivery times therefore include two stages: the artisanal production time and the shipping time.
⏳ Production Time
The delivery time does not include the time required to make your candles. Since each product is handcrafted and personalized, production time may vary depending on the number of current orders and the period of the year.
Orders are processed in order of event date (e.g. wedding, christening, birthday).
For express or urgent orders, please contact us in advance to confirm feasibility.
A rush fee may apply depending on the request.
Thank you for your patience: artisan work takes time, precision, and dedication to ensure perfect quality.

A tracking number will be emailed to you once your order has been dispatched.
