How do I place a Click and Collect Order?

  1. Pick out your most loved items, drop them into your cart, and head to checkout (just like you always do when ordering online).
  2. If all your chosen items are in stock, you'll find the option to choose Pick Up as your preferred delivery method at checkout.
  3. Choose your favourite Maison Balzac boutique. *Only boutiques with the selected items in your cart will show up.
  4. After your order is placed, you'll get an email notifying you that we've received it and when it'll be ready for collection. Your Pick Up order is typically ready within a day, so keep an eye on your inbox!
  5. Make your way to the Maison Balzac Boutique you've chosen and get ready to collect your items! Remember to bring your collection email and a valid photo ID.

Our Maison Balzac boutiques have a 10 day collection period for all click & collect orders. This period begins the day you receive your 'Ready for Pick Up' email notification. We kindly ask you to collect all orders within this 10 day timeframe, or contact our team to notify them of a delay. Any order not collected within 10 days of being notified, will be cancelled.  Please consider our store opening hours when planning your collection date. 

Please note, not all products will be available for click & collect. If one item in your cart is unavailable for collection, the entire order will display as unavailable. In this case, we recommend using our shipping option to ensure a more efficient purchase experience.

Will my glassware look exactly the same as the images online?
 
We have worked hard to ensure all imagery on our website showcases each product with the highest degree of accuracy. However, due to the transparent nature of glass and the fact that each piece has been hand blown, there may be slight discrepancies in either shape or colour.
 
These variances are inherent to the charm of hand made products, and are not to be considered as faults.
 
How do I care for my Maison Balzac glassware products?
 
Though all our glassware is dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing with a soft bristle brush, as these are precious pieces!
 
Avoid using any strong alkali soaps, as these may damage the glass. Take care not to bump glassware against hard surfaces or other vessels during cleaning.
 
How to I care for my Maison Balzac candle?
 
The first burn is the most important as it sets the burn memory! When lighting for the first time, ensure the candle is alight long enough for an even wax pool to develop to the edge of the vessel.
 
To ensure an even burn and the best scent throw experience, be sure to trim each wick down to 5mm in length before each use. After extinguishing the flame, make sure each wick stands upright.
 
Never burn a candle for longer than 2 hours, or when the wax level reaches less than 2cm from the vessel base.
