No, I haven't received any broken candles - they pack them very well. It takes about 5 days for me in WI. They usually ship the order out within 48 hours I have noticed (except for Christmas time where it took a few days to fill the order)


Yes, Customer service has been very helpful with questions. smileys/smiley1.gif

Hi Ameri-Girl-


I forgot to tell you how long it took to get my candles.


I live in New York and get them 1 to 2 days after ordering.


During the busy season, sometimes a week at the most.


I know we talked before if you have any questions, pleasefeel free to email me anytime.

Hi Ameri_Girl,


Sorry to here about that! 3-1/2 weeks is a long time to wait but maybe they had an item on back order? I would for sure call them about the broken candle.


I just placed my first case order on Tues w/ Mia Bella and it's going to be here on this Tues, so that's a week, they had my order filled and shipped out the day after I placed my order. smileys/smiley32.gif

Hi Ameri-Girl! (waiving)

Feel free to "vent" here any time you like!smileys/smiley2.gif

One of the things I noticed right away with Scent-Sations is the *fast*
shipping times, and the fact that you can call right up, talk to a real
person to place your order if you want, and it ships out that day or the
next business day. The longest I've waited on an order has been 6
business days, and that was over the holiday season.

Never any broken or damaged candles either- they are packed very
solidly!

Sorry to hear about the mishaps, and I hope things look up for you.

In all you do, CHOOSE Success!

Hi Ameri!!!smileys/smiley17.gif


How are you? smileys/smiley4.gif


In more than TWO years, I never had one broken or damaged candle delivered to me.


I have heard horror stories like yours from other candle companies in the last two years and I'm very sorry to hear that.


I live in Chicago and it takes about 5-6 business days for me to receive my Scent-Sational Mia Bella products!


Great to "see you" in our fun Mia Bella forum!


WE MISSED YOU!smileys/smiley19.gif

ok, so here is another...I have never received a broken candle! lol


I am in south florida and it takes almost a week to get my shipment.


I guess the important thing to ask is...is this a reoccuring problem, and haver reps had the same problem?


if so, you should contact corp each individually and let them know you are unhappy.


I wish you luck, I know it is frustrating! smileys/smiley5.gif


Take Care!! smileys/smiley2.gif

I'm sorry to hear of your problems. I have to say, when I got my first
COTM shipment, I thought FOR SURE my jar was broken. It looked like UPS
kicked the box up the street to my door! I took pictures before I even
opened the box prepared to file a claim with UPS (it was obviously them
who damage the box). To my surprise, the jar was packaged soooo well,
it was FINE. I used to be with Affordable Luxuries and I often got
broken jars, accessories, and damaged tins. With the tins, you knew
they were damaged prior to shipping, because the box they came in were
fine. I just had to share, you aren't the first to experience shipping
woes with candles companies! It's more than a little frustrating when
you have cusotmers tapping their toes waiting.



Take care and feel free to vent anytime!

I've not had a broken candle yet, and my shipping times (from the date I place my order) run from 4 - 7 days (mine is shipped from PA to FL). The packaging is fantastic!
