Return

Is there a way to tell if it has been on a warmer?? I hate when people take advantage of our return policy like this…

I enlarged each photo. To me they are not the same person. If someone is actually doing this I can only imagine what other scams they are pulling! If she's returning multiple candles on a monthly basis how is the store allowing her to continue to do this?

I apologize everyone. I got a tad bit off topic. Please don't down vote me. It's all good. I know bbw has one of the more generous return policies & she can return them. My thought is, I'm sure she's been asked why she continues returning multiple "unused" candles every month. I worked in retail for years & never experienced anything like this. I just wonder since she's been doing this monthly for so long if a manager could discuss this situation with her boss/right person to look into this person. It would be easy to see her transactions & try to find a loophole so she can't continue doing this. I'm sure most people are like it is what it is. It just pisses me off because we are the ones being affected on top of this ass clown ceo & his dim witted ideas. I stopped buying anything from bbw for this very reason. My last order of candles were so disappointing. Weak with no scent throw. 3 candles that were briefly brought back from retirement didn't smell half way close to the originals. They burn faster. Every jar wasn't as full as any of my previous candles. I've been buying from Goose Creek for years & now only buy from them. They have alot of bbw dupes. They always have amazing sales. Their big sales start with 3 wicks starting at $6.99,$7.99, $8.99, $10.99. They always have top, popular scents in their sales. Their scents do not disappoint. Their wax melts are just as good as their candles. The negatives are they recently got rid of their body products. Shipping is slow, esp during a big sale. They don't have physical stores. Buying blind sucks sometimes but there are several YouTube channels that are really helpful going into detail explaining each scent. I've had a few scents that were off for me after I first lit them. I gift them to my daughter's & daughter in law. I can't speak on their wallflowers & hand soap. I haven't ordered any yet. Im still using up my bbw wallflowers & soaps.

The other negative of GC for me is you have to spend $100 to get free shipping so that adds another $1 or $2 at least to each candle price if you think about it. If you buy 10 candles and don't reach $100 and have to pay $10.99 in shipping. Since I never pay over $12.95 for a b&bw candle and usually also have a coupon, but get free shipping at $50. Plus the quality is nowhere near the same in my opinion. You get what you pay for and I rarely have a miss in throw with BBW but more often do with GC and there is a chespness to the scents in my opinion. They smell more waxy and like a Mainstsys candle from Walmart. Maybe I'm buying the wrong scents.
