Shipping from Bath & Body Works to your door — from $70
The US-exclusive seasonal collections, Buy 3 Get 3 deals and the Semi-Annual Sale launch on the US bathandbodyworks.com alone, and the store ships them to your address in Oregon with no sales tax on your invoice, and free on orders of $50 and up outside Candle Day. We receive the packages in Albany, repack the glass candles with protective padding and consolidate everything into one box that reaches you within 7–9 business days, and if payment with your Gulf card fails, we buy it for you through the Order It for Me service.
Two real obstacles at this store, each with its solution
Bath & Body Works is a US store first: its storefront, payment system and packaging are designed for the customer inside the US, and we bridge the gap from our warehouse in Albany.
Payment with a non-US card may not go through
The checkout page accepts Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, Apple Pay and Venmo provided the billing details and CVV code match your bank's records exactly, and it doesn't officially exclude cards from non-US banks, but the store's system may hold an order it sees as unusual, especially on major sale days; so try PayPal or Apple Pay first, and if payment fails send us the item links via Order It for Me and we buy them with a US card to the same warehouse address, so the pre-authorization hold and splitting the order across several shipments become our concern, not your bank's.
Candles are heavy glass and the store's packaging is light
A 3-wick candle weighs about 1.7 lb in a glass jar, and the store sends it in a standard carton with minimal padding and considers its responsibility over once it reaches the forwarder's address; so we photograph every package the moment we receive it in Albany and report any visible damage to you the same day, then we repack the glass with padding that separates each candle from the next, and consolidate the split shipments coming from the store's different centers into one box, and because candles are dense their actual weight is close to their volumetric weight so the price doesn't get inflated.
Example in numbers: a Candle Day cart in one box
Four 3-wick candles, four 8 oz body creams and two foaming hand soaps arrive in Albany in two shipments from two different distribution centers; we re-wrap the glass and consolidate everything into one 10 lb box: Economy $121 in 7–9 business days, Express $144 in 5–7 business days, with the customs documents prepared free of charge and included with the shipment.
Four steps from bathandbodyworks.com to your door
The same path the American customer takes on the site, with one extra stop in Oregon.
Sign up and get your Oregon address
Signing up with Barid US is free and instantly gives you an address in Albany, Oregon, a state with no sales tax, so nothing is added to the store's invoice.
Create your store account and fill your cart
Create an account with your email on bathandbodyworks.com (the form may ask for a phone number and a US ZIP code, as in the rewards program meant for US residents; use the ZIP code of your Oregon address, and if you can't complete registration the Order It for Me service handles the purchase), add candles, creams and soap up to a limit of 9 of any one item and 24 candles on Candle Day, then enter your Oregon address in the shipping field and choose the free standard shipping on orders of $50 outside Candle Day, and pay with PayPal, Apple Pay or your card; if a “press and hold” verification appears, complete it from a regular browser and continue, and if payment fails, send us the links via Order It for Me and we handle the purchase.
We receive, inspect and repack
When the packages arrive in Albany we photograph them and notify you right away, separate the glass candles with protective padding, consolidate what arrived from the store's different centers and from other stores into one smaller box, and prepare the customs documents free of charge.
It reaches you
Choose Economy in 7–9 business days or Express in 5–7, and track the shipment to your door; government fees, if applicable, are set by customs in the destination country on delivery.
Questions about ordering from Bath & Body Works
The official payment list doesn't exclude cards from non-US banks, and it requires the billing details and CVV code to match your bank's records exactly, so acceptance is possible under its policy at the time of ordering, and PayPal and Apple Pay are the safer route; and if payment is declined or the order is held, the Order It for Me service buys the same items for you with a US card and they ship to the same address.
Candles, creams, body wash, soap and scrubs ship by air without restrictions according to the store's official safety data sheets, while alcohol-based mists, concentrated room sprays, Wallflowers refills and sanitizers are classified as flammable liquids and only pass in limited quantities as accepted by the carrier, so send your list to our team before ordering so they can confirm what passes and in what quantity; and pressurized aerosols like Deodorizing Body Spray have their shipping methods restricted by the store itself within the US and don't ship by air in our box, so swap them for the cream or wash in the same scent.
The Wallflowers plug sold in the US is designed for 120-volt electricity and a US socket while the Gulf runs on 220–240 volts; so buy the refills from the US site, where the collections and seasonal scents are wider, and fit them into the regional plug sold at your local branch, which is designed for your region's electricity and takes the same refills according to the store's regional websites.
The store's responsibility for breakage ends when the package is delivered to the Oregon address, which is why we inspect and photograph every package the hour we receive it and send you the photos the same day, then repack the glass with padding that separates each candle from the next; and the store confirms that a cream or candle that softens in the heat of the journey is safe and returns to its texture in a cool place, and for those ordering in the summer months we recommend Express at 5–7 business days to shorten the trip. As for returns, the store honors the 90-day satisfaction guarantee within the US only and by mail at the buyer's expense, so review your order from the receiving photos before the box leaves Oregon and let us know if you want to change anything before consolidation.
Other US body care and fragrance stores
The same Oregon address receives your orders from Sephora, Ulta and the official Bath & Body Works store on Amazon US, and we consolidate them all with your candles into one box so you pay for a single international shipment.
