Ground transit across Florida within one to three business days with thermal wax packaging protection.
Shipping soy candles and high-density liquid diffusers in sub-tropical Florida requires disciplined thermal handling. Pure soy wax softens at 115°F and liquefies at 120°F. We build double-wall corrugated insulated packaging at 42 Aegean Avenue to ensure goods arrive intact and ready for service.
Most home fragrance shipments ruined during Florida summers fail for a simple reason: standard retail parcels bake in the cargo bays of ground delivery vans parked under the sun in ninety-degree heat. When a shipper drops an uninsulated glass candle jar into a thin carton with plastic bubble wrap, the molten wax pool shifts sideways, drowning the braided cotton wick and ruining the cold throw before the customer opens the box.
We do not use plastic air pillows or polystyrene peanuts. Every outbound order from our Tampa workshop is packed with dense molded paperboard inserts and multi-ply kraft thermal sleeves. These sleeves buffer external heat spikes for up to 72 hours of ground transit, preserving the flat horizontal cure line of our soy candles and keeping amber glass apothecary bottles from fracturing under transit vibration.

How we pack: thermal barrier layers, amber vessel isolation, and leak-proof caps
Liquid room sprays and heavy reed diffusers carry high fluid weights. A 500 ml architectural diffuser holds over one pound of bio-solvent and botanical extract. If dropped on concrete by an impatient courier, an unreinforced vessel cracks.
Our packaging process relies on three structural defenses:
- Induction-sealed cap liners: Spray nozzles and reed bottles travel with primary induction seals that prevent vapor escape or hydrostatic leakage during barometric shifts in freight transit. Diffuser reed stems travel dry in a dedicated rigid unbleached tube.
- Molded recycled fiber cradles: Thick pulp inserts wrap around the shoulders and heels of glass vessels. This keeps bottles suspended with at least one inch of clearance from the outer carton walls.
- Reflective kraft thermal barriers: Wax shipments include an unbleached cellulose insulation blanket that shields the candle core against radiant solar heating in transit vehicles.
Current catalogue lines and confirmed operator pricing

What We Refuse to Do in Packaging
Packing PolicyWe decline shipping practices that result in damaged goods or environmental pollution:
- No unpadded retail envelopes: We will never toss a glass bottle or candle into a padded bubble mailer. Glass and wax ship exclusively in structured corrugated boxes with molded pulp cradles.
- No non-biodegradable packing peanuts: Expanded polystyrene peanuts static-cling to everything, crumble into micro-plastics, and fail to prevent bottles from migrating to box corners. We use recycled molded fiber only.
- No dispatching without batch lot codes: Every bottle and candle bottom carries a physical batch stamp matching our Aegean Avenue production ledger. We do not dispatch anonymous goods.
