Shipping policy
At Northern Ember, every order is packed with care to help ensure your candles arrive safely. Please review our shipping policy before placing your order.
Shipping Locations
Northern Ember currently ships within Canada only.
At this time, we do not offer shipping outside of Canada.
Processing Time
Orders are typically processed and packed within 2–5 business days after payment is received.
Because our candles are hand poured in small batches, processing times may vary slightly during busy periods, product launches, holidays, or high-order volume.
You will receive a confirmation email once your order has been placed, and a shipping notification once your order has been dispatched.

Shipping is a $12 flat rate no matter the size or weight of the package.
Shipping across Canada
We ship Canada-wide via Canada Post.
- Flat rate shipping: $[12.00] on all orders
- Free shipping on orders of 4 or more candles

Each candle is wrapped and packed to travel safely. At this time, we ship within Canada only.

Incorrect Shipping Information
Please make sure your shipping address is correct before placing your order.
Northern Ember is not responsible for orders shipped to an incorrect or incomplete address provided by the customer.
If you notice an error in your shipping information, please contact us as soon as possible. We will do our best to update the address before the order ships, but changes cannot be guaranteed once the order has been processed.
Lost or Delayed Packages
Once a package has been handed over to the shipping carrier, Northern Ember is not responsible for carrier delays, lost packages, or delivery issues.
If your package is delayed or marked as delivered but has not arrived, please contact the shipping carrier directly using your tracking information.
We are happy to assist where possible, but the carrier may require the customer to open a claim directly.
Damaged Orders
If your order arrives damaged, please contact us within 7 days of delivery.
Please include:
- your order number
- clear photos of the damaged item
- photos of the shipping box
- photos of the packaging materials
- a brief description of the issue
We will review the situation and determine the best solution, which may include a replacement, store credit, or refund depending on the circumstances.
Warm Weather Shipping Notice
Candles are sensitive to heat. During warmer months, packages may be affected by high temperatures while in transit or after delivery.
To help protect your order, we recommend bringing your package indoors as soon as possible once delivered.
Northern Ember is not responsible for candles left outside in extreme heat after delivery has been completed.
Order Tracking
If tracking is available for your order, tracking details will be provided by email once your package has shipped.
Please allow time for tracking information to update after the shipping label is created.
