3. Orders and Payment
All orders are subject to acceptance and availability.
When you place an order through our website, you will receive an acknowledgement that your order has been received. This acknowledgement does not constitute acceptance of your order.
A contract between you and Wild & Wicked Scent Company Ltd is formed only when we send confirmation that your order has been accepted and dispatched.
We reserve the right to refuse, cancel or limit any order at our discretion, including where:
- Products are unavailable or out of stock;
- A pricing, product description or website error has occurred;
- Payment cannot be authorised or verified;

4. Delivery
We currently deliver throughout the United Kingdom, including Northern Ireland and the Scottish Highlands and Islands.
We do not currently deliver to the Channel Islands.
Orders are dispatched using trusted delivery partners, including Royal Mail and DPD. We reserve the right to use alternative delivery services where necessary.
Processing Times
As many of our products are handmade and made to order, dispatch times vary depending on the product ordered.
- Candles: up to 14 days processing time before dispatch.
- Reed diffusers and in-car diffusers: up to 7 days processing time before dispatch.
Estimated processing times are provided as a guide and may vary during busy periods.
Delivery Options
Where available, customers may choose between standard and express delivery services at checkout.
Express delivery applies only to the shipping service selected and does not reduce the stated processing time required to prepare handmade products for dispatch unless expressly stated otherwise.
Lost, Delayed or Damaged Orders
If your order has not arrived within a reasonable time after dispatch, please contact us and we will investigate the matter with the delivery provider.
If an item arrives damaged, customers must notify us as soon as reasonably possible and provide photographs of the damaged item and packaging to assist with our investigation.
Where an item is confirmed as lost in transit or damaged before delivery, we will provide a replacement or refund in accordance with your statutory rights.
5. Returns and Refunds
Your Right to Cancel
Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations, customers have the right to cancel most online purchases within 14 days of receiving their order.
If you wish to cancel your order, you must notify us within 14 days of receiving the goods. Once cancellation has been requested, the goods must be returned to us within 14 days.
Change of Mind Returns
We will accept returns where:
- The item is unused;
- The item is in its original packaging where possible;
- The item remains in a resaleable condition; and
- The return request is made within the applicable cancellation period.
Customers are responsible for the cost of returning goods where the return is due to a change of mind.
We recommend obtaining proof of postage, as we cannot be responsible for items lost during return transit.

For health, hygiene and product integrity reasons, we cannot accept returns of:
- Opened or used reed diffusers;
- Opened or used in-car diffusers;
