You may submit a sales tax license or exemption certificate for your business.

· OUT-OF-STATE CUSTOMERS: Most states require that you pay your local and state sales tax annually for purchases made by mail or web. Community Candle Supply does not currently collect or pay sales tax on behalf of out-of-state customers for shipped orders. You are responsible for this by law in most states. Out of state customers that pick-up orders are charged our local and state sales tax of 9% unless you have submitted an approved sales tax license.

· ALABAMA RESIDENTS: We will charge relevant Alabama state and local sales tax unless you have submitted an approved sales tax license. If you have a sales tax license, your account will be set up to be sales tax exempt. You MUST sign in to your account before placing an order to be sales tax exempt.

· We will conduct an annual audit of all sales tax licenses. If you have allowed your license to lapse, we will notify you by mail or email of the change in status of your account, and you will be charged sales tax going forward.

MISSING ITEMS/WRONG ITEMS: We are very thorough in packing your shipments. We circle each item on your invoice to indicate that it has been included, and we double-check every order. If you cannot find items in your shipment, please check the packing material carefully. If you have ordered soy wax by the case, we may tuck items between the box and the plastic liner of your wax. In addition, we may package smaller increments of wax separately to avoid the large package fee. We do this to save you money on shipping. Please check your entire order and the packing materials thoroughly prior to calling or emailing about a missing item. It is important that you search packing material thoroughly before discarding it. You must notify us within 5 business days if you have missing, wrong, or damaged items.

RETURN POLICY: Because product integrity, storage methods, and alterations in many of our products cannot be ruled out, jars, lids, and plastic items are the only items we will consider for return. We do not reimburse for or pay for return postage or shipping. There will be a 15% re-stocking fee for returned merchandise. All returns must be approved by Community Candle Supply.

DAMAGED SHIPMENTS: Please review your items carefully upon receipt. If a shipment is damaged, you must notify us of the damage within 5 business days and you are required to retain the original packaging and damaged items so that we can file a claim with our shipper. You will need to retain these items until the claim has been settled with the shipping company (usually 1-2 weeks). We will notify you by the email on the order when the claim has been settled. We will issue a refund for your damaged items to your payment method. You may send photos to info@communitycandlesupply.com.
