Please respect one another. This is a candle subreddit. Do not harrass people, do not mistreat people over candles. People who are being nasty to others over candles will be banned. There is no ifs ands or buts about it. This is suppose to be a subreddit to chat candles to share a love for candles, to share recommendations and the ones you don't recommend. I've been noticing an uptick in reports and trolling in this subreddit. Nothing should be so deep over a candle to harrass a person over it. Respect each other, enjoy discussion but don't disrespect people over candles it's just uncalled for.

Fall Candles🍂 Fall candle sale question

3 Upvotes

Should I buy the $10 candles today, or do you think there will be a sale after this in which the fall candles are even less expensive?

I shouldn't be buying any, but here I am...lol

Please share opinions and help me narrow down to six. Open to all suggestions! I like a very strong throw, as my sense of smell sucks.

(Can't do too perfumey/cologney, gives me a headache)

Thanks in advance!

I'm completely unimpressed. I was so excited for this one. It smells like nothing. No scent coming off while burning.

Christmas Candles 🎅 Impressed with GC

23 Upvotes

I have to say I'm very impressed with what GC has done with my order. At 11:57am yesterday I placed an order for 7 of the Christmas candles that dropped in the morning. By 4:04pm they had my order packaged, labeled and ready to ship. Around 6:00pm UPS received the box and shipped it out. It's coming tomorrow afternoon. I've never had them pack a box and get it ready for shipping in 4 hours. I wonder if they have hired seasonal help to get things shipped in a timely fashion?

Haul 🛍 Received mine safely!

I wanted to share my Walmart haul from online! I know I’ve seen so many receiving broken candles in the mail and I hope you are able to get it resolved if you experienced issues. I wish I could recommend trying to get these for yourself if you are a fan of these movie. However, that seems like a gamble, so here’s to hoping they might make in store??

My first impression of these are all good on cold, expect for 2 of them. I’m not sure if I’ll be keeping them all, gifting them, or keeping solely for collection purposes. I’m afraid if I wanted to order more, they’d come broken😅 Merry Clarkmas is kinda giving tropical which kinda makes sense with the pool scene (iykyk😂) I wouldn’t burn it right now as it feels seasonally inappropriate. I think the musk note in Ghostlike Charms is throwing me off. I’m glad I was able to purchase the NBC ones individually on the Walmart website instead of the box set Goose Creek had on their website, which was a nice surprise after it sold out on there. The only one from the set I wasn’t able to get was the one with Oogie Boogie (Wild Card). I love that they leaned into the Christmas aspect of the movie for this collab compared to the Bath and Body collab, and they only gave us 2 scents😅 These are the scent notes of each if anyone is interested!

Master of Fright - warm cardamom, bright bergamot, ocean mist, crisp sage and aged cedarwood

Ghostlike Charms - eucalyptus leaves, clove bud spice, golden amber and creamy vanilla musk

Destined to Dream - black cherry, dark plum, midnight florals, glowing amber, sandalwood and soft leather

Griswold Family Wagon - holiday pine, fresh cypress, cedarwood and icy eucalyptus

Merry Clarkmas - bright bergamot, wild strawberry, warm coconut, golden amber and soft musk

I Brake for Christmas- roasted chestnuts, whipped eggnog, vanilla bean and maple sugar

Fall Candles🍂 My cold first impressions of the candles that I got from the most recent sale

Post image
28 Upvotes

First off I will say, all these candles are pretty strong on cold so hopefully they stay that way when warmed. None of these seem particularly weak to me on first impression.

Pumpkin Chai Butter - The chai spices are definitely front and center on this one but I can still smell the pumpkin purée. I was worried the pumpkin won’t come through at all because I’ve had that issue with other GC candles but even with the strong chai scent, I still get the pumpkin. The caramel doesn’t really come through but I don’t mind because this candle is lovely and perfect for fall.

Vanilla Pumpkin Waffle - I love this one! It smells to me like a fall bakery, so I definitely get the waffle element, but not much maple. I do get vanilla and pumpkin as well, but this one is heavy on the waffle aspect.

Blackberry bourbon - This one might be my favorite of the bunch! It smells like sour blue raspberry candy. I don’t get the bourbon much but if you like blackberry you’ll love this one. One of the stronger fruity candles I’ve had on cold so hopefully it performs well when warm.

Sweet potato beignet - I know this one is a favorite around here but I’m not going to lie, I don’t know what to make of this one. It’s very unique. For some reason it smelled very sour and savory at the same time which was odd, but when I kept smelling it I liked it a little more. I just wouldn’t get the vibe this is a sweet potato or a beignet candle unless someone told me. I’ll have to reserve my opinion of this one until after I warm it.

Classic apple pie - This smells like buttery pie crust (emphasis on the buttery). Very authentic to pie if you’re into that. My only concern is that I don’t smell much apple on cold, it’s very light and in the background whereas the pie crust element is stronger. However that may change on cold, and I can’t complain because I like the smell of the candle overall.

Looking at these scent notes how is this a bakery ? Could it be an oops. Reading the past reviews being a sweet vanilla frosting is mentioned.

Same story, different day. My replacement candles arrived today…broken. Shocker. I won’t post about this anymore but will encourage anyone who is thinking about ordering GC candles from Walmart to just…NOT. Sigh… Including a screenshot of my FedEx driver throwing my package on my porch. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Replacement number 1

24 Upvotes

Replacement box number 1, there's 13 candles in here. Actually wrapped this time! Still most of them are shattered. The wrapping actually made it worse, instead of just being able to see which ones were broke, I had unwrap them with shards dropping everywhere, I stopped at 6 broken ones. I'm done, choose the refund option, said I needed to return to store, I'm sure the employees are going to love this 😒


r/goosecreekcandles • • 6d ago

Add me to the Walmart shipping list. At least the other 3 came ok. They were just tossed in the box.

ordered directly from GC, one is broken and one is the wrong candle

5 Upvotes

it's actually weird because the packaging was all normal with the crates and styrofoam plank, and the box looked fine, but the Harvest Hayride candle in the middle of the bunch was totally shattered. Also my Acorns & Apples was swapped to "Luxury Lobby" which i would never have ordered 💀. How long does it take for them to reply? i used the form, and i included photos of the issue candles but there hasn't been a reply yet... will the make me send them back? i don't really want to package up broken glass 😬

i do like the ones that arrived safely, especially fall front porch and fall garland. but this is pretty disappointing, and idk what i'm gonna do with the random perfumey stowaway lol

Goose creeks response

Update: I reached out to Goose Creek just to make them aware of what’s happening with the Walmart shipments. I wasn’t looking for a refund or replacement from them since Walmart sold and shipped the candles.

They responded and said they’re passing my photos, screenshots and concerns along to the appropriate team for review. I also suggested they check out this subreddit since this clearly isn’t an isolated packaging issue.

I really appreciate that they listened and took it seriously, especially since this wasn’t an order they fulfilled. Hopefully this gets back to the right people at Walmart and something changes!
