FAQ

The inventory feature of our web site prevents customers from purchasing items we do not have in stock.

Sorry but no. The inventory feature of our web site prevents customers from purchasing items we do not have in stock. Our company works on a basis of only selling items that we have in stock, as we can never be sure exactly when we will receive orders from our suppliers.

Sorry but no. The $50 and $75 order shipping rates are based upon the net merchandise total only, prior to adding shipping and taxes (if any). The same will be true for any source code discounts.

If you have questions or a customer service issue, the fastest way to reach us is to email us at sales@tartburners.com. Please mention your order number and the date you ordered in your email.

You can also leave a voicemail message at 408-213-9559; however, we do not have a dedicated customer service phone staff and we can respond much faster to emails. Please mention your order number and the date you ordered in your voicemail.

If the delay is going to be significant, we will call or email you, asking if you would like to delete the item causing the delay, releasing the balance of the order for shipment. The site will also prevent you from ordering any item that is out of stock even if we have not had time to mark it "OUT OF STOCK". Of course, we do occasionally make mistakes in counting.

When you proceed to checkout, there is an opportunity to ship an order to a person and/or location at a different shipping address. We do not include prices on the packing list with the order.

Sorry but we do not at this time.

Most of our jar candle accessories are designed to fit standard round apothecary jar candles such as Yankee Candle. These candles have a round opening on the top equal to about 2-15/16 inches. The outside diameter is about 4 inches. Our jar shades and jar candle toppers fit inside the openings and the Candle Crowns and Candle Crown Toppers fit outside. The Candle Cachepots of course also fit outside the jars.

Our baby jar shades are designed to fit baby apothecary jar candles. These jars have an opening diameter of approximately 1-3/4 inches and a total diameter of about 2-1/2 inches.

We also have shades for Colonial At Home oval jars in all three sizes.

Most of our burners work using a 25 watt light bulb, which heats the ceramic and melts the wax very slowly, maximizing the fragrance time. Most electric burners are 2-piece items, so the top can be removed for cleaning. Certain groups of burners use 40 watt bulbs or a heating plate. This is noted in the descriptions of each group and item.

We do not know the exact temperature that our burners heat to, but they are designed to melt wax that melts at about 120 to 130 degrees, so they get very hot. WE DO NOT RECOMMEND USING THEM FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSES, WHICH INCLUDES, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO, HEATING BABY BOTTLES AND AQUARIUMS.

We carry replacement bulbs for the electric tart burners we sell. Bulbs can be found in product sections with the burners they fit. We carry several types of burners that use different bulbs so please make sure to order the correct bulb for your burner. You can also typically purchase bulbs at any hardware store like Home Depot or mass merchant like Wal-Mart.

Most of our customers use wax, but our burners can also be used for potpourri or oil. Follow the instructions with your oil or potpourri as to how to use these products in a burner.

In both cases the heat melts the wax, which releases the scent. Eventually the scent will dissipate, but the wax will remain.

Each order shipped to a specific location counts as one order. Item quantity discounts, coupon volume discounts and free shipping minimums cannot be met by combining orders going to different shipping locations.
