We ship your order within 1–3 business days and keep you updated every step of the way. As soon as your package leaves our facility, you’ll receive a tracking link so you always know where your candle is.

All orders are packed safely and securely to ensure they arrive in perfect condition. Our goal is simple: quick delivery, minimal hassle, and a smooth experience from checkout to your doorstep.

Want your candle to burn cleanly, evenly and smell amazing from first light to last glow? Treat it right. Always trim the wick to about ¼ inch before lighting — a properly trimmed wick keeps the flame steady, prevents soot, and helps your wax melt evenly.

For the first burn, let the candle burn long enough until the wax melts completely to the edge of the jar. This creates a full melt pool and avoids the dreaded “tunnel effect,” so you don’t waste wax or shorten burn time.

With a little care, your candle will reward you with longer burn time, stronger, cleaner scent throw — and a safer, more pleasurable burn every time.

We want you to love your candle from the moment you open the box. If something arrives damaged, doesn’t perform as expected, or simply doesn’t feel right, we’re here to help.

Reach out within 30 days and we’ll make it right — whether that means a replacement, a refund, or quick support from a real person who actually cares. Your experience matters, and we stand behind every candle we pour.

About the Creator of the Funny Candles

Michael Murphy, founder of Candle Guy, sitting next to a table with handmade scented candles featuring cheeky quotes in glass jars.

I am the original candle guy.

Time and again, people ask me how I came up with the idea for candle guy. The story is simple: I saw a scented candle in my apartment and wondered “Why can’t that candle be like me?” Sexy, environmentally-focused, appealing to the senses, and the right combination of funny and inappropriate. From there, candle guy was born.
