Shipping Information
We ship from Covington, Georgia using the United States Postal Service (USPS) as our shipping carrier.
Packages under 1 pound are quoted USPS First Class Package rates. Packages 1 pound or over are quoted USPS Priority Mail Package rates.
*Notice: The USPS announced beginning October 1, 2021 a slowdown in delivery of First Class mail. First Class mail will now be delivered within 1-5 days (previously 1-3 days). Please order early and be patient with your delivery.
Shipping fees are based on weight, volume, and distance. USPS uses ‘zones’ to determine your shipment destination distance (in miles) from the point of origin (Covington, GA when purchasing from us). Because many of our products are small and light weight, they become more economical to ship in greater quantities. Below are some examples:

The most accurate way to receive a shipping quote is to place items in your cart then view your cart. You can experiment increasing and decreasing quantities of items to determine your optimal shipping cost.
You may order any quantity you choose. But we recommend sticking to quantities of 4-9, 13, 16, or 36 when ordering only wax melts – simply because these quantities fit nicely in our shipping boxes. Ordering at different quantities may cause your shipment to be split into more than one box or a larger box size than necessary.
If you order less than 4 wax melts (say 1, 2, or 3), we may use a flat bubble envelope (rather than a box). Your wax melts could be squeezed and become cracked during shipping. It is just wax, and they will perform the same as if you broke them apart yourself.
Sales Tax Information
Sweet C’s Scents LLC is located in the state of Georgia and is required to collect sales taxes for items purchased by or shipped to Georgia residents. Georgia customers’ checkout prices will reflect a sales tax based on the combined State of Georgia base rate plus their local county rate. Please note that the State of Georgia also requires the cost of shipping to be taxed.
At this time, Sweet C’s Scents is not required to collect sales taxes for items purchased by or shipped to residents of other states outside of Georgia. This may change in the future as many states are considering modifying their ecommerce sales tax laws.
