Giving these even a "1' star was Still too high. These were described as "Solid Black Wax Candles' This however, was an incredibly inaccurate description. These are Not Solid Black Wax but instead solid white with a Black wax coating on the Outside only. As these are no Longer fit for purpose I have had to dispose of them.Overall, I am Incredibly dissatisfied with my purchase and would like a full refund as I regularly purchase from your site anx do not usually have any problems.Kind regardsMiss Steph smithinitially, these candles were posted as being 2cm wide; on receiving them, they turned out to be 1.5cm wide. Also posted at being 21cm tall - but that included a 2cm long wick, which I felt was somewhat mislesading? Also, although they arrived safely, they were loosely packed in a thin cardboard box envelope which meant there was a possibility that some, if not all, could have arrived broken. I have rated them at 3 stars, because as candles go, they are ok, but will not fit into my candlesticks being too thin. And I have returned these with the sellers approval.Just tried to light these for a Pre Christmas dinner dinner Party. They light, splitter and then go out in about 30 seconds and will not light again. The wick burns in seconds and does not light again. Complete waste of money as they are totally useless as candles. I would request a refund but can find where to do this. And am jolly irritated as my black and gold theme is ruined for Christmas.Awful, weedy black candles that are simply dipped white candles. Arrived packed in a flimsy jiffy bag. Don't fit any known candle-holder. Can't comment on burn time or dripping as I am sending them back immediately for a refund. Bargain basement offering that is probably an insult to the basement.I'm actually really happy with these candles. Correct size and well packaged. The ones I received were solid black. I actually wanted candles that drip as I'm doing the ole...wax dripping down the sides of a wine bottle....thing, so that was a bonus as I all I can seem to find are non drip candles. I do understand why people aren't satisfied though as it does say non drip in description.
