I have purchased this product from other sellers on a recurring basis with good results. I should have returned this purchase when I discovered the condition of the candles. The candles are supposed to be white, these candles are yellowed and some have debris in the wax. I believe that these candles were stored improperly and for an extended period of time, and may have been rejects from the original maker. They were slightly cheaper than I am used to paying and it only reinforces to me that old adage " you get what you pay for" obviously I well never order from this seller again.
