We know, things can break in transit, sometimes items aren’t handled properly or things go missing, and unfortunately it’s impossible to completely avoid these rare incidents. Thankfully, we’ve partnered with Navidium to protect your purchases! Navidium ensures 100% coverage on your order. It will typically only cost you around $.98 per order! 

This option will be automatically selected at checkout. You will have the option to deselect Navidium coverage, however, we will not be responsible for your package should it be lost or damaged. We highly recommend this option for every order. 

Absolutely! Navidium is a form of full coverage shipping insurance. It covers items that are damaged, lost or stolen. If any of these things occur, you can email Michelle at hello@shopdirtroadcandleco.com and she will help you with a replacement or refund.

Unfortunately if you deselect the Navidium insurance option, we do not issue refunds on lost or damaged packages. If an item is missing through USPS, please reach out to them at their main customer service number, 1(800) 275-8777, where they will need your tracking number which can be found in your shipping confirmation email.

We are currently online based for the majority of the year. However, we do pop up at a couple local markets throughout the year! 

Pre-order items can be something that we’ve sold out of and are waiting for more to come in, but are still taking orders on OR it could be an item that we’ve ordered but do not yet have in stock. Since these items are typically in high-demand, we allow you to pre-order so you don’t miss your chance when they do come back in stock! Just know that these items will take longer to receive than normal orders. We’ll usually mention in the product description when you can expect pre-orders to arrive.
