FAQ's
Welcome to our FAQ, we are so happy to have you here and as a client.
We have tried to answer the most common questions.
Which courier service will handle the delivery, and what is the estimated delivery time?
- All orders are shipped via Royal Mail using your selected service, and the estimated delivery times provided by Royal Mail apply once your order has been dispatched by us. Our dispatch process usually takes up to 1 working day, but during peak periods or holidays, it may occasionally be longer.
- For 1st Class fully tracked service, you can typically expect delivery within 2 working days from the dispatch date. If you opt for the 2nd Class fully tracked service, your order will typically be delivered within 3 working days from the day it is dispatched.
- Orders eligible for Free Shipping will be sent via 2nd Class delivery, however you do have the option to upgrade to 1st Class delivery at the checkout, this is a chargeable service & normal shipping costs will apply.
- Kindly note that the delivery timeframes presented by Royal Mail are purely estimations. There may be occasional delays within their systems, and regrettably, we are unable to provide compensation in such circumstances.
- Please take note that we reserve the right to change courier companies without prior notice to customers if the situation requires such a change.
- To prevent any delivery issues, we prioritise using packaging that fits in your letterbox whenever feasible. However, if you have pets at home, please note that we cannot be held responsible if your parcel interacts with them.
- When placing an order with us, you acknowledge and accept the use of a fully tracked delivery service. We bear no responsibility for your parcel if it is left unattended at your property in your absence. Upon receiving your dispatch email, you will find your Royal Mail tracking information included. This allows you to monitor your order's journey from dispatch to delivery. If you anticipate not being available to receive your parcel on the expected delivery date, please arrange an alternative solution through the Royal Mail app or website.
What Happens If My order Doesn't Arrive By The Estimated Delivery Date?
- Should your order take longer than Royal Mails estimated timeframes to arrive we kindly ask you to wait for a period of 7 working days from the estimated delivery date of your order before contacting us.
- In the event that your order does not reach you within this timeframe, we recommend verifying your tracking number and contacting us promptly at support@scentsatno3.co.uk. Please include your order number in your email.
- We will then proceed to log your order as 'missing' with Royal Mail. Wherever possible, we will arrange for a replacement order to be dispatched.
- However, should the items from your original order be unavailable due to stock issues, rest assured that an automatic refund will be processed for those items.
- Your satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your patience as we work to ensure the timely delivery of your order. Rest assured, we will make every effort to resolve any delivery issues you encounter.
I see that my order has been recorded as delivered, but I haven't had it delivered to me, what happens now?
- Delivery Information Update Reminder: To ensure a smooth delivery experience, please keep your delivery information up to date, as all orders are dispatched using Royal Mail's fully tracked service.
- Reviewing Tracking Information: In case you miss a delivery or encounter any issues, start by reviewing the provided tracking information. Royal Mail's delivery photos and GPS locator record the exact delivery location.
- Check with Family or Neighbours: If you can't locate your delivered order after checking the tracking details, consider that a family member or neighbour may have accepted the parcel on your behalf. We recommend reaching out to them before taking further action.
- Report Missing or Stolen Orders: If, despite your efforts, you still cannot locate your order, remember that you have a 14-day window from your scheduled delivery date to report it as missing or stolen. Please reach out to us via email and include your order reference number to initiate this process.
- Initiating Investigation Process: Our dedicated team will assist you in starting an investigation, which initially involves emailing you a Royal Mail declaration form to complete & submit direct to Royal Mail, please ensure to include our email address Support@scentsatno3.co.uk so that we receive an automatic notification from Royal Mail upon the submission of your form. This will enable us to promptly fulfil our role in their investigation process. Please be aware that Royal will not process any claims unless both parties complete and submit their respective forms.
- Investigation Timeline: After submitting all forms to Royal Mail, a comprehensive investigation will be initiated. Once Royal Mail concludes the investigation, they will inform us of the outcome, we will then share this information with you. Please be aware that this process may take on average 30 days. Kindly refrain from reaching out to us for updates during this period, as Royal Mail does not provide us with progress reports, and consequently, we won't be able to provide additional information.
Can I Request For My Parcel To Be Left In A Safe Place?
Upon dispatch, you may choose to have your order delivered to a secure location of your preference through Royal Mail. Please be aware that this option carries inherent risks, and we cannot assume responsibility for any missing or stolen items. Consequently, we are unable to offer replacements or refunds in such cases.
How does it affect my order if I provide incorrect address information?
Please be aware that we cannot assume responsibility for any address errors made during the order placement process. We strongly recommend reviewing your confirmation email, which will be sent to you once your order is placed. (Ensure you also check your spam/junk folders before reaching out to us, as emails may occasionally be filtered there.) If any errors are identified, please contact us immediately so we can make the necessary corrections. Please be aware that our email communication is not monitored in real-time, and there is a possibility that your order may already be dispatched before we can process your request.
I've changed my mind and no longer want the order or I need to amend it, is it too late?
Once an order has been placed, it is not possible to cancel or amend the order. To ensure quick delivery, the order is processed once you have placed it. You can return the order within 14 days after receipt.
Failed Delivery Or Collection Of Parcel, What Happens Now ?
Regarding orders with incorrect address details, we offer two options: the customer can request a resent delivery at their expense, or we can issue a refund for the ordered products minus the initial postage fee. In cases of free delivery, an additional charge of £3.75/£4.95 will be applied.
Royal Mail typically will make two attempts to deliver your parcel. If both delivery attempts are unsuccessful, they will keep the parcel at their local depot for 18 days. During this time, it is your responsibility to arrange either a collection from the depot or a redelivery. If you do not take action within the 18-day holding period, the parcel will be returned to us. In this case, you are responsible for contacting us at support@scentsatno3.co.uk to arrange payment for Royal Mail’s additional shipping costs before we can resend your parcel. Please note that we will not be able to resend your parcel until these costs have been covered.
In the event that your order remains undelivered due to packaging or label damage during transit with Royal Mail, the order will be returned to us. We can only address issues related to non-delivery once we have received the order back. No replacements or refunds will be considered until we have confirmed receipt of your order.
If Royal Mail's attempted delivery fails and no delivery card is left, our standard procedures and charges will still apply. It remains the customer's responsibility to monitor their order's tracking status until it is successfully received.
Please be aware that if you encounter any other reasons for a failed delivery not covered above, we will follow our standard return and refund policies. It is essential to communicate any delivery issues promptly, and we will work to resolve them once the returned order is in our possession.

Can you provide information on the wax type & Ingredients that goes into the production of your wax melts?
Our wax melt production process is a result of extensive experimentation and refinement. In our journey, which began in 2017, we rigorously tested numerous waxes and fragrance oils from various suppliers before arriving at the exceptional products we employ today.
We have carefully crafted a premium blend of the finest Mineral and Natural waxes, prioritising sustainability and quality. Our wax boasts remarkable qualities: it is biodegradable, non-toxic, promotes clean burning, and aligns with vegan and vegetarian principles. Notably, our wax formulation is entirely free of Palm and Animal products, and it holds USDA approval for use in food, cosmetics, and medical applications.
To ensure the utmost purity and environmental responsibility, we subject our chosen wax to modern, eco-friendly purification processes. Our commitment to quality is unwavering, with stringent quality control systems continually monitoring the excellence of our wax.
Through the harmonious combination of our carefully chosen wax and premium fragrance oils, we have achieved the production of high-quality wax melts designed to enhance your home experience. These melts reflect our dedication to sustainability, purity, and your enjoyment.
