Once an order is placed or I have received a shipped custom order, you can expect your candle to ship in 7-10 business days. I would appreciate a 1-3 day pour time. I then like to let the candle cure for at least 3 days before I feel comfortable shipping it. I recommend a 10-14 day cure time before you light your candle to allow the fragrance oils to reach their optimal performance. This cure time starts from the day that I pour it. I will send a "ready to light" date with your candle shipment. If you have any questions or need an order rushed, please e-mail me.
