Prices
Prices are for the finished, printed candle, in Canadian dollars, across every candle in the catalogue. US orders can pay in US dollars at checkout; the US-dollar figures below use the same fixed rate the checkout does.
| Range | Products | From | Typical | Up to |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| All custom candles | 16 | $28 CAD | $51 CAD | $99 CAD |
“Typical” is the median. In US dollars: from US$20.44, typically US$37.23.
Every price follows one public rule: the print partner’s base cost, times 2.2, converted to Canadian dollars and rounded up to a whole dollar, with a $12 floor. Size, material and print method all move the base cost, which is why the range is wide. How we price a gift explains the rule.
Shipping cost and delivery time
Shipping is charged per order, at the first item’s rate; each further item ships at half its own rate. Delivery windows are business days from ordering and include printing.
| Destination | Shipping, first item | Typical shipping | Delivery window | Typical cost delivered |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Canada | $15.19–$39.31 CAD | $38.35 CAD | 5–30 days (typ. 15) | $89.35 CAD |
| United States | $7.52–$18.62 CAD | US$9.64 | 2–5 days (typ. 5) | US$46.87 |
“Typical cost delivered” is the median candle plus median shipping, before tax. Standard shipping is free over $99 CAD ($75 USD).
