Maybe I'm missing something but why are you worried?

Because it was on the back , and when I purchased the candel it wasn't in a box . Only they put it in after I paid for it. I'm concerned because it looks lime it's part of a gift set and how tight would I look giving someone half a gift set. Why did it have not for sale on it. Must be there for a reason . If you don't know that's ok.

Can't you take the not for sale sticker or whatever it is off? And did you pay for it in addition to your gift set?

No it's printed on the box . I bought it as just a candle. It wasn't part of a gift set but with that on it , it looms like it is and that I divided it up. I'm just going to keep it for myself .but if it says not for sale why do they sell it ??

I think there is a bigger issue here and its; why the flubber did you spend €15 on a candle?

On your point - if its a candle is it not made of wax? I assume stickers peel off of wax well?

Staff member wanted it/explodes - could be any number of reasons. If it was out on display its an odd one alight. Will it peel off the box? I'd phone the retailer see if they can shed some light, please do tell us what.

Very annoying over Xmas I have to admit.

Quality candles are expensive which is why they make good gifts, ever see the price tag on those scented candles in a jar? Some were over €25.

Ahh that explains it, thanks.

No, I don't know the reason for the sign but the candle could have been supplied to the retailer as part of a multi-pack or a "get-one-free" type special offer which the retailer split and sold individually. You occasionally see the same thing done with soft drinks with "not for individual sale" printed on the label.

It's not illegal but the supplier might not be too impressed with the retailer taking the pi55 out of their sales promotion.


You could take the candle out of the box, wrap it in some plastic gift wrap (clear or coloured) and tie it up with a ribbon. That would look very presentable and probably better than a cardboard box.

Why not bring it back then?

cathy01

I just decided to keep it for myself and I got her something else.
I think the retailer should not have split it like that, if thats what they did.I might let them know.Thanks all.Cathy

It may have been a display model/window decoration too which they decided to sell
