BURN CANDLES. DO GOOD.

We’re more than just another basic candle company – we’re here to set the world on fire. (Geddit?) That’s why $2 from your order is donated to a not-for-profit cause of your choice.

Thanks to your support, we have been able to donate over $70,000 to worthy causes so far. (Because baby, it’s a wide world – and we’re here to light it up, one bright prospect at a time.)

JAR RECYCLING PROGRAM

We’re proud to offer a simple local recycling scheme, which entitles our Perth-based customers to exchange any of our empty glass jars for $1 off their next candle purchase.

It’s all part of our continued efforts to reduce the amount of waste our business produces while lovin’ on and honouring the planet’s OG, Mother Nature. Simply drop us a line at hello@theprospectproject.com to arrange

MOTHER NATURE IS SO GANGSTER

We are committed to reducing our impact on the environment – and here’s how we’re doin’ it:

• 100% vegan products. So you know that no animals were harmed in the making of your candle.
• All online orders are wrapped with Geami Greenwrap, a fully recycled sustainable alternative to bubble wrap. (And any bubblewrap that finds its way into your order has been reused by us from our suppliers, pinky-promise.)
• We recycle and reuse cardboard boxes where possible from our suppliers.
• Our couriers are booked through Sendle, Australia’s first 100% carbon-neutral delivery service who offset the emissions of every parcel. Woohoo!

SHIPPING INFO

Custom orders can take up to 4 working days to create, while most orders will be ready for courier pickup 2-3 business days after your order has been placed.

Please provide a physical address where either someone will be home to accept the delivery, or it will be safe to leave your parcel.

Just a head’s up: once your order has been shipped from HQ, we cannot accept liability for any delays or missing parcels. (Soz fam, that shit’s outta our hands.) All orders are automatically marked as “authority to leave” with our couriers, so please ensure someone trustworthy is home to receive it, or that you provide us with an address that has a safe place for your package to chill until you can get your hands on it. If the old lady across the road gets a bit too Winona-ey with your packages, then we recommend shipping to your work, your mums place, or get yourself an Arco installed, pronto!

Once your order has been collected by the courier, you will receive an email containing your tracking information, so for all queries relating to delivery please check your tracking first.

BABY LIGHT MY FIRE

We don’t do things half-assed around here; that’s why we only use the finest fragrances and highest-quality soy wax in our candles. So not only do our candles smell amazing when they’re lit up and being all candle-y, they also emit fragrance when they’re just sittin’ around!

WE GONNA LET IT BURN, BURN, BURN

Place in any room in the house that requires a lil’ extra magic.

TIPS AND TRICKS (FOR WHEN YOUR WICK IS BEING EXTRA AF)

• Trim candle wick to about half a centimetre before lighting.
• Smoking is only cool if you’re a 1920’s gangster. If your candle starts smoking, your wick is too long. Blow it out, trim, and re-light.
• If your wick is drowning, melt some of the wax around the cord and pour out until the base of the wick is visible and able to light.
• Never leave a burning candle unattended. (That’s just dangerous.)
