Frequently asked questions.

Everything you need to know, in one place.

Returns & replacements

Every candle is handmade and made to order, so we don’t offer refunds. If your order arrives damaged, email hello@shopmaqtub.com within 48 hours of delivery with photos and an unedited unboxing video, and we’ll send a replacement at no extra cost. Read the full policy.

Candle care

Trim the wick before each light, burn for up to three hours at a time and keep away from children, pets and anything flammable.

Delivery

Orders are dispatched within 3–4 business days, then usually arrive in 3–7 business days depending on your location. We ship worldwide — international rates and timelines are shown at checkout. Shipping policy.

Are the candles edible?

No. Maqtub candles are decorative and made of wax. They look good enough to eat — please don’t.
