Refund and Returns Policy

Effective Date:‌ April 20, 2026

Thank you for shopping at Magic Candles by JK. We want you to love your purchase and are committed to delivering high-quality products. Please read this policy carefully as it outlines the terms and conditions regarding returns and refunds for items purchased through our website, www.magiccandlesbyjk.com. ‌A core principle of this policy is that we do not offer “refund only” (refund without return) options for standard purchases.

1. Our Return Philosophy

We accept returns of unworn, unused, and unaltered merchandise in its original condition (including all tags, packaging, and any accessories) within 30 days of the date you received the item. The goal of our return process is to facilitate an exchange for another item or to provide a refund ‌only after‌ the original product has been successfully returned to us and inspected. ‌A refund cannot be issued without the physical return of the product.

2. Important General Conditions

  • Original Condition:‌ Items must be returned in their original, saleable condition. They must not be used, lit (for candles), damaged, washed, or altered in any way. All original packaging, labels, tags, and certificates of authenticity must be included.
  • Time Frame:‌ You have ‌30 calendar days‌ from the date of delivery to initiate a return.
  • Non-Returnable Items:‌ For safety and hygiene reasons, the following items are ‌final sale‌ and cannot be returned or exchanged:
    • Candles that have been lit or show signs of use.
    • Any product that has been personalized, custom-made, or monogrammed at your request.
    • Products purchased during a final sale or clearance event (these will be clearly marked as “Final Sale”).
    • Gift cards.
  • Return Shipping:‌ Unless the return is due to an error on our part (e.g., wrong or defective item shipped), the customer is responsible for the cost of return shipping. We recommend using a trackable shipping service and purchasing shipping insurance, as we cannot guarantee receipt of returned items.
  • Refund Without Return is Not Permitted:‌ Under standard circumstances, we ‌do not‌ offer partial or full refunds while allowing you to keep the product. To receive a refund, the item must be returned to us.

3. Return Process (Step-by-Step)

  1. Initiate a Return Request:‌ Within the 30-day window, contact our customer service team at ‌silentboo@magiccandlesbyjk.com‌ or call ‌+385 95 366 0276‌. Provide your order number, the item(s) you wish to return, and the reason for the return.
  2. Receive Instructions:‌ We will review your request and, if eligible, provide you with a Return Authorization (RA) number and detailed instructions on where and how to send the package. ‌Returns sent without an RA number may be delayed or refused.
  3. Ship the Item Back:‌ Securely pack the item(s) in their original packaging, include the RA number inside the package, and mail it to the address we provide (typically our warehouse in Croatia).
  4. Our Inspection:‌ Upon receiving your return, our team will inspect the item to ensure it meets our return conditions (unused, undamaged, with all original parts).
  5. Processing the Resolution:‌ Once the return is approved:
    • For Refunds:‌ A refund will be issued to your original method of payment. ‌Please note, this is contingent on the item passing our inspection.
    • For Exchanges:‌ If you requested an exchange for another item, we will process and ship the new item once the return is approved.

4. Refunds (Post-Return)

  • Timing:‌ Refunds are processed within 10-14 business days ‌after‌ we have received and approved your return. The time it takes for the credit to appear in your account depends on your bank or card issuer’s policies.
  • Amount Refunded:‌ You will be refunded the purchase price of the item(s). Original shipping charges are non-refundable unless the return is due to our error.
  • Method:‌ All refunds will be issued to the original payment method used for the purchase.

5. Damaged, Defective, or Incorrect Items

If you receive an item that is damaged, defective, or incorrect (we sent the wrong product), please contact us immediately at ‌silentboo@magiccandlesbyjk.com‌ within 7 days of delivery. We will arrange for a prepaid return shipping label and, upon receiving the faulty item, will expedite a ‌replacement shipment or a full refund (including shipping costs)‌ at your discretion. ‌This is the only exception where a refund may be processed urgently, but we still require the return of the incorrect/damaged item for quality control purposes.

6. Exchanges

We are happy to facilitate exchanges for a different size, color, or product. The process follows the standard return procedure above. Once your return is received and approved, we will ship the new item to you. If the new item is of higher value, you will need to pay the difference. If it is of lower value, a refund for the difference will be issued after the exchange is complete.

7. International Returns

For customers returning items from outside Croatia:

  • You are responsible for all return shipping costs, duties, and taxes.
  • Please mark the package as “Returned Goods” to avoid potential import fees on our end, which would be deducted from your refund.
  • We cannot be held responsible for items lost or damaged during international return transit.

8. Non-Returnable Scenarios (Clarification)

To reiterate and emphasize: we ‌do not‌ issue refunds in the following scenarios without the physical return:

  • You changed your mind but want to keep the item.
  • The item is no longer needed but is unused.
  • You found a better price elsewhere.
  • You are unsatisfied but have used or altered the product (in this case, the return would be rejected upon inspection).
