I just had no problem buying 8. All holiday scents. I will most likely keep 4 and gift the other 4. Depending on how they smell.

Thanks everyone for the reminder! My virtual line was 10 minutes when I logged in at 8am Eastern time. Got 7 candles and checkout was fast and easy. Much improved from last year.

I had my doubts with the whole queue thing, but it actually worked out really good. Waited in virtual line for 10 mins and then got in, and ordered. One of my candles was out of stock when I went to check out, so that was disappointing. They also said online to check daily, as they will be adding new scents daily.

Yes!! My 19 year old son went this morning at 6am when they opened and got my favorite scents for me! We had a $10/$40 and free gift coupon that came in the mail so 8 candles and a bath bomb for $76

I just ordered. It had "trouble processing" all three cards I tried (and there's nothing wrong with them). Finally did Paypal with the card I usually use and it went through, but error messaged on the confirmation screen. I did get the confirmation email and my card was charged, so the order did go through.
Clearly their site is struggling!

I'm so aggravated! Waited in a queue for 26 minutes, added what I wanted, and when I try to check out it just loops me around. At the last step where I would hit "submit" to finish it, it takes me back to the cart and wants to start all over again. I tried Paypal and my credit card and nothing. Damn.

How much is shipping? Trying to decide if I want to go to the store or order online. I have other coupons I could use in the store but not sure how long the line will be.

I got on the virtual line last night, had to wait about 15 minutes.
When it was finally my turn they did not have the 3 wick on sale, only the 1 wick.
On top of that, the stores local to me did not have store pickup available.
Going to stop in while running errands today to see if I can score one.

The line at the BBW near us was at least 12 people deep (outside the store) when I drove by this afternoon after picking up groceries.
Those looking for a candle warmer -- I got one at Hobby Lobby for $3.50 on their half-off week, and it's served us well. I have an Aldi Balsam candle on there now. We don't light candles because of a certain feline who might be too curious for her own good.

MichyM I keep coming across “tart burner” and giggling. My brain is 13 sometimes! Actually this is a really good idea. I have one of those that I never use- now I’ll have a use for it.

Drove by the store and the line outside was about 30+ people long.
Hard pass. I don't need a candle that badly.

I logged on at 9am pacific, forgetting that it was lunchtime on the east coast. The queue was 28 minutes.
I had 16 3-wick candles in my shopping bag from a previous visit, planning on actually buying 6-8 depending on what was already out of stock. Ended up as I cleaned out my cart and checked out they kept selling out of them. I ended up buying only 3, but one was Fresh Balsam and I’m happy to have it to set aside for next year (the one I have currently will definitely last me through the month.
I have been HOOKED on Ilume Balsam and Cedar, but it is soooo pricey. I’m glad to have a less expensive alternative.

Thank you so much for starting this thread because I totally forgot the candle sale was today… crazy day of work and errands! I was bummed thinking that everything would be sold out online (and I had zero desire to drive to the store after the long day I had!) but luckily I found most of what I was looking for! I burn candles almost every day so I always eagerly look forward to the B&BW sale!

I went in at about 4:45 this afternoon and it was busy but not overwhelming. Got four candles.

I got online about 6:30 this morning, had to wait 2 minutes. A couple candles that I tried to get sold out while I was shopping but I found 7 or 8 that I am happy with. Had to pay shipping but at least I didn't have to get out tonight and head to the store.
Used to love the Pier One candles (3 wick) but now that they are gone I'm glad to get these!

I bought 7 this morning. 3 or 4 will be gifts. Bummed at the price as well (although clearly that didn't stop me from shopping lol) When the candle sale started years ago, they were around $8.50ea! It was awesome. Last year they were around $9.75 and this year, over $10. I know you can't stack coupons online and I hate in-store shopping so clearly it doesn't deter me from actually buying, but still kind of lame.

I see the candles are now all sold out online, and it says the sale is done online. in stores only. That's super disappointing, when before they claimed they would add new scents every day.

I walked into Bath and Body Works yesterday, not knowing about the sale. Man, that place was packed. I don't use candles much but I ended up buying the Balsam one.
I always include Bath and Body Works products in Christmas stockings. Everyone gets hand sanitizer and the adults get foaming soap.
I love their bath soap and wallflowers. I got a bunch of those, too.
If someone wants the smell without the lit candles, I'd look into the wallflowers.

Several years ago, I was able to stack my coupons and got about 15 3 wick candles for about $5.20 each. Best deal ever! I have plenty of candles right now and with my hip bursitis acting up I can't stand for more than 10 or 5 seconds. So no standing in line for me today.

i happened to be by a store today. i wanted hand san for kids stockings. there were about 4-5 people in line ahead of me, took about 7-8 mins to get in. didn't need to get any candles, but the sale was *forcing* me. so i bought 6... lol!
they were 11.99 in toronto. i think they are almost $30 reg price.
i think they just recently added online shopping in canada. prior to this (earlier this year) you could only order from us site so any discount was cancelled out by shipping charges.

I stopped by this afternoon and no lines. The pine scents were sold out, but I managed to get the ones I wanted plus a few more.

I received my candles today and man, I am so disappointed. I wanted not to love all the scents. I bought all holiday ones with the intention of gifting some. But I just want to keep them all. And the packaging was so much improved this year. I didn't have a single broken one. And in years past, I've had a broken one in each box.

I wish I had know it was coming up. They were $20 here for Candle Day and I got 4 which was great. But I had been in the night before and got four at 2/$69. So I could have saved some money. I'm happy though. The four extra are for me.

FYI the candle factory that was leveled by the tornado supplied candles to B&B
