WHOLESALE TERMS
Orders can be placed through our online wholesale portal or you may also email orders from your PO system to wholesaledesk@tatinecandles.com You’re welcome to call us too—whatever works best for you, we’re here to help get your order in!
You must order items in their case pack multiple—split cases are not allowed. Testers are limited to one per fragrance ordered. Testers cannot be ordered without a corresponding case pack.
Wholesale prices are subject to change without notice.
LEAD TIME
Orders would normally ship in 10-12 business days, but because of Covid-19 and the nature of our handmade products, lead times are extended to an approximate shipping window of 7 to 9 weeks due to supply chain struggles associated with the pandemic.
SHIPPING + DELIVERY
All wholesale orders are shipped via FED-EX Ground through our Distribution Center.
When ordering, please include your current shipping address as we may not be aware if your address has changed since your last order.
If you suspect your order has been incorrectly delivered or lost, please reach out to us at wholesaledesk@tatinecandles.com and we will reach out to our Distribution Warehouse customer service. We will look into the issue and assess if a replacement order needs to be sent. Tatine is not responsible for lost or stolen packages once they are received at your location; please ensure your orders are delivered to the appropriate location so they’ll arrive safely.
We do not ship in extreme temperatures (both hot and cold) as it may damage our handcrafted products. If extreme weather occurs and we must hold your shipment, we will notify you by phone or email.
We are able to ship internationally either using your US freight forwarder’s address or shipping direct through your shipping account. We can also quote international rates through one of our carrier accounts. Customs duty and Value-Added Tax are the responsibility of the receiver, and Tatine has no control over shipping delays due to customs. It is your responsibility to notify us of any special paperwork, carton markings, or instructions required by your freight forwarder.
RETURN POLICY
Our work is 100% handcrafted. Slight variations from candle to candle are considered a part of the unique handcrafted process and are to be expected. Some of our glass is mouth-blown and may have unique differences between each glass.
Due to the handmade nature of our products, all sales are final on wholesale orders. No returns or exchanges will be offered on the basis of product scent. All claims for shortages and/or damages must be reported to Tatine within 3 business days of receipt of merchandise. Providing supporting photos/documentation is required for all damages. After a review of your request, we will either replace any missing/damaged goods or process a refund/issue a credit memo. Shipping and handling fees are not refundable.
WHOLESALE TERRITORY
We will try to protect territory up to one mile between accounts at our discretion. We reserve the right to approve or disapprove accounts based on current territory and fit. We will do all we can to try and protect our loyal established customers. We do our best to research each city and state, so bear with us if we make a mistake! Accounts must order a total of $3,000.00 in a calendar year to be granted territory protection. We reserve the right to sell to a neighboring store if you don’t meet that minimum.
E-COMMERCE POLICIES
You are welcome to sell Tatine products on your brick-and-mortar store’s website, or through your e-commerce business.

Please email us at wholesaledesk@tatinecandles.com to obtain the passcode for access. We do not offer drop-shipping services for your e-commerce.

TRADE PRICING
Our wholesale prices apply to stocking retailers only or online stores. Trade customers without a physical retail storefront or catalog operation, such as interior designers or corporate gifting entities, are subject to a trade pricing scale and minimum order structure.

Trade orders cannot be placed online and will not be accepted unless ordered at the trade pricing structure.

You can also contact us to find out where and when we’ll be showing the brand to obtain our booth number. Viewing the collections in person is highly valuable and encouraged. Due to the ongoing Pandemic, we currently do not have a trade show scheduled.
PRODUCT PHILOSOPHY + INGREDIENTS
Our design collaborations with global artisans bring to life the timeless custom pieces into which we pour our bespoke fragrances, such as hand forged brass and mouth-blown glassware. The candle vessels are made in compliant factories by skillful artisans with the mission to create a second life through drink safe glassware or keepsake containers. These things mean a lot to our mission, which is to impart a quiet joy and timeless, meaningful quality of handcrafted wares. The studio utilizes recycled and FSC-certified paper stocks as much as possible in both our product packaging and shipping materials in order to make strides towards protecting our planet. Our apothecary products are formulated without sulfates or parabens and undergo sterile microbial testing to ensure purity. We choose to pass on plastic and use glass bottles with no extraneous packaging.
CUSTOM DEVELOPMENT
Tatine is not a private label manufacturer, we are a design studio specializing in custom fragrance and packaging development for the Tatine brand. Due to the pandemic and restrictions on supply chains, we are not taking on any outside product development projects for the foreseeable future.
CONTACT INFO
