Testimonies

Dear Supporters

Northern light experienced a breathtaking bumper year of both beeswax candle production/demand and beeswax quality last year – these two  go hand in hand it seems.. The quality of the wax that northern light is obtaining for this year's candles is rarely as good, gold like, and coming from trees that are having their best flowering for 20 years or so. This is because of all the rain that australia has been receiving, particuarly in the western country.

As you will see,  this coming year will result in our best art to date, primarily because of the massive tide of support that you have given and the perfect quality of the beeswax that we are obtaining presently.

So thank you, northern light will use this tide of support for good and set an example of a healthy ethical, sustainable business producing candle light made of the lightest of steps.

Below is some of your feedback from last year, we couldn't put them all in, though your comments deserve another thank you.

The supporters of northern light are largely responsible for the direction of this coming year – more sustainability, higher quality, originality, impeccable service, that's the plan.

Jeffrey has just returned from a wax buying spree from the bottom of tasmania to the queensland boarder, these are some of the recent photographs and story.

Kind regards, thank you

The crew of northern light, led by a still, small, quiet voice.

 

 

Hi

Thank you

Hello NL,

Just wanted to say a quick personal thank you and to congratulate you on the high quality of your products. The rounded reusable tea light tins in particular are just beautiful. I also appreciated the simple and careful packaging of the tea light candles I ordered, not to mention the handwritten welcome note. I've known of Northern Light for some time now but this has been my first purchase and I'm wondering why it's taken me so long! It's rare to find such simply presented and high quality products and I'll certainly be back. Thanks so much!

Best regards, Amelia 

 

 

To the team at Northern Light,

Thank you for the prompt delivery of my order and special gift. It was truly appreciated and a wonderful surprise.

The quality of your product is astounding and I will definitely return to order more once my current supply is running low. Keep up the great work.

Regards,
Belinda
 

 

Hi everyone,
Just thought I would drop you a line to tell you how much I am enjoying my first order with you. Everything about it was perfect, from the promptness of the delivery, the packaging, the lovely handwritten note, the extra gift, to the beautiful products themselves. Everything executed with love – I could feel it. I am so impressed that I have just sent you through another order which I know will be just as wonderful as the first.
Thank you all so much for your truly amazing products,
Tania   

 

Hi Northern Light

I recently ordered a stash of candles from Northern Light. I used them over Christmas and New Year’s Eve, as well as giving some as gifts.  I am so happy with all the candles, particularly your tealights. They burn so well, last for such a long time, and smell so lovely, an absolute pleasure to use.

Thank you

Candice
 

 

 

Hello

My package arrived yesterday.

Thank you so much for the great care that went into packing it.
From the beautiful brown box to the layers of shredded paper that hid each of my purchase.
The handwritten note and of course my gift. But most of all the for love and care in which these things were carried out.

I have been using northern light for over  8 years but this was my first online purchase, but  certainly not my last.

Wishing all at Northern Light true blessings of Peace love and goodwill to all.

Dear Northern Light,

Thank you so much – the camel train must have plodded miles over the weekend, because the parcel arrived yesterday. Can you please also pass on my thanks … …. for packing my order so beautifully, and thank you all for the Poet that was gifted to me. I love the packing materials – once my children have finished playing with it all (they love the shredded paper especially), the whole lot goes into the compost – wonderful!

Warmest regards,

liz

 

 

Hello Northern Light,

Received the gold shipment and it is grand!

So precious and divine what lucky humans we are to have such gifts in our midst!

Thank you so very, very much!

Warm wishes

Hi Northern Light

Candles arrived and they work a treat!

Please thank Rebecca for the very nice hand-written note and thank-you to everyone there for the high quality product and excellent customer service.

Kind Regards,
Clive 

 

Hello NL,

Thank you for your service.  Northern Light candles are exclusive for my Shrine.  Almost 2 candles are lit everyday and I do believe 100% in your web site that their quality is what the web site claims.

Thank You

Dear Northern Light

Your beautiful special candles arrived very quickly, and thank you for the extra addition.  The calmer light has a tall flame that lights up the whole bedroom.  It really does make everything feel calmer!!  I tell everyone who asks that they are the best candles, ever.  I only ever had emergency candles and a few scented soy candles but wasn't really into them.  That changed when i used your candles!  They have a subtle natural barely-there wholesome smell about them that i look forward to, and now i can tell the smell of a petroleum based candle straight away and my nose wrinkles up.  I inspect candles in shops everywhere i go now but never end up buying them because i know i already have something better.  I would normally use some for gifts but i don't think i can, i want them all to ourselves!

Hi Northern Light

I received my order this morning what a fabulous surprise seeing as I live in Adelaide and only placed my order two days ago! 
You have certainly set the bar very high with the quality of your beeswax, it's in a class of it's own – pure magic! 

Also, NL candles are divine and I keep my lights in a special red box (my stash!).

Thank you for your wonderful products and I look forward to placing my next order soon!

Best wishes

Carolyn

 

Dear all at Northern Light

Many thanks for  the parcel which  arrived today, I picked it up at the post office this morning.

Thankyou very much for your gift too….it was completely unexpected, but very much appreciated.

I just love love love your products, I have been buying them in retail shops since 1995, but when I realized how easily I could buy them online, well, here I am!!!

Keep up the great work you all do.

Here’s to the next 15 years and beyond of Northern  Light candles!

Kind regards

Catherine

 

Dear Northern Light,
My beautiful candles arrived this morning – fantastic and thank you so much for the lovely gift of 2 fire knights – they are marvelous, terribly glamorous. I'll have to give a dinner party in honor of them.
Many thanks and keep up the wonderful lighting.
Cheers,  Irene. 

 

 

Hi Northern Light,

Firstly just wanted to say thank you for such prompt service. I ordered the lightbox for my wife's birthday today and the box arrived today. Wonderful timing and wonderful service.

Secondly thank you for making such a beautiful product. My wife absolutely adores the candles and I'm sure now I will have trouble keeping her away from your website.

Warmest regards

David

 

 

Dear Northern Light

Received my latest light box today, quick fast, and the quality is getting better each parcel.

I have been following your Company and buying your Candles since 1995, what an amazing story you guys are!

Little wonder everyone is attempting to copy you, gee I have even been copying some of your attributes myself!!  Northern Light has changed the direction of the whole candle market since those earlier days, congratulations and thank you all soooo much, I look forward to what the next 10 years will bring for and from you.

See you next order, love to all

Diana

 

 

Dear Northern Light

These are honestly the most stunning, exquisite, bright, and soulful candles I have ever encountered. Everyone that I have given some to has remarked on how much light they throw and how long they burn…

VERY impressed, and confident that there will be more orders coming…
 
THANKYOU!!! I (we) are so glad that you do what you do!
 

Happy 2011 

Live out loud In peace, Kassia x

 

 

Hi Northern Light
 
Just received my candles. Thank you so much . They are packaged so beautifully. Thank you so much for my gift and the lavender just topped it off.

Have a wonderful day.

Thanks NL – the service is always excellent and the candles beautiful!

To Northern Light Candle Company Australia

Just read these couple of articles, Every time there is an independent analysis of candle light, Northern Light comes out on top, what an example your Company is to us all.

Here's G's pick of the best beeswax tealight candles.

G Magazine
Beeswax tealight candles

Northern Light:
As the only company producing 100 per cent Aussie certified organic beeswax candles with a zero carbon footprint, Northern Light tealights are hard to beat. Due to concern over environmental effects of aluminium mining, reusable tin cups are used.
$20 for 10 candles (22 cents per hour)

Hi Northern Light,

Thanks for sending the order so quick as usual.
I would probably eat them if I could but… plenty of sniffing going on!

I really do love your candles – everything about them.
The golden light from them is just so beautiful  – so I just  "light up" at night and take them in.

Best regards
Julie

ps. Thank you for the gifts that you have popped in a couple of times – it was    
      really lovely

Hi,

I had just returned from a Yoga retreat when our candles arrived……….perfect timing to be able to light your beautiful creations.

I have given a few to an appreciative neighbour, Liza………….I  think you will have a new customer.

The lavender was beautiful too.

Last time I ordered candles was over the phone. Your website is  absolutely beautiful -

I look forward to making another order soon (perfect for christmas!!!),

regards,

Trish

 

A HUUUGGGGEEE \"Thank You\" for my beautiful tea lights!!!  I am VERY happy with them – not only do they look nice, they also smell great and they came so beautifully presented (I loved your little note too, it was a lovely, unexpected personalised touch!) I was so impressed!  I WILL be buying from you again and I will be sure to forward your website to my friends (the \"Muse\" tea lights are so incredibly cute!) so that they can buy from you as well. 

The main reason I purchased my candles from Northern Light is because I know that beeswax is a far healthier alternative to burning commercial tea lights (which are usually made out of parafin), and I have two young children and am becoming more and more conscious  as time goes on, of what they are exposed to…  Also, because Northern Light tea lights come WITH re-usable (environmentally friendly) holders AND because Northern Light Beeswax candles were THE MOST reasonably priced! I looked at quite a few other websites and couldn\'t find anything that compared to your value-for-money offers! Well done on providing a high quality product at such a great price and delivering it so quickly – WELL DONE!

Yours truly,
Kylie

 

 

Dear Northern Light

I got your parcel today and oh my! I’m in love!

 I’ll email some pictures. I definitely want to be part of what you do and sell your range.

Kind Regards,

Florence

 

 

Hello Northern Light,

Love the light! I can never go back…

Keep doing your good work, and thanks for your always lovely personal customer service.

Thanks NL – i've actually been using your beautiful candles for a few years, but only recently ordered them through your webiste….i was very impressed with the first order of tealights i received from you guys, with its lovely packaging and little bonus gift..not many retailers take this sort of trouble, so i thought that i'd tell you what you were doing right!
best wishes,

Such beautiful craftsmanship.

We'll be in touch,

Thank you so much for the beautiful order you sent. My dear friend Jude and I have been enjoying them and its been snowing outside. So she would love to put in an order too.
PS Thanks for welcoming me onboard and the extra gift of tee lights. God bless you!

My Northern Light orders have always been responded to with great respect. I like the little note they always include. And they always pop in an extra or two! This time I was given some hand poured candles made by the Carmelite nuns. They are beautiful. I thought to save them for "special occasions" and had one a few nights ago. It was a rainy night outside but inside me and all my animals were happy and cosy and warm. Full bellies and peaceful minds. As good a time as any to light a special candle. So I snuggled up on the lounge with my dog and my rooster and dozed in the candle light. It was a memorable evening for it's peace and beauty.
 
Warm regards,
 
Lily
 
  

Dear Northern Light

thanks for your lovely note that arrived with my order, and thank you so much for the extra candles! Very much appreciated! I love your candles, and cannot bear to be without any. I will be back when I get close to running out again.
Warm regards,
Helene

 

Dearest NL

It's that time again, the purchasing part! It's one aspect of my candle usage. Other parts are the waiting for the mail delivery notice, the collecting and opening of the box, reading the little note which is always included. And then I get to smell the candles, give them away, light them myself. I enjoy every part. Thank you. Love and light to you all, and to all the bees.

Warmly, L. 

 

I received my order of candles today and I just wanted to tell you they are absolutely beautiful!  I have passed one on to our Head of Development and Marketing and he will make a decision about purchasing some for his fundraising department.

Thank you again for your efficient and beautiful work, hope you have a wonderful weekend!
 
 
Kindest Regards
Denise
 

 

Hi NL,
Just wanted to say that the candles look absolutely beautiful & a very big thank-you for the extra gift in the parcel!
This was much appreciated & I look forward to ordering many more candles
from you in the future!
Kindest Regards, Lauren.

 

Dear Rebecca – thank you for your lovely note included with my order. I am not a newcomer to Northern Light.  During the 1990\'s I operated an aromatherapy business and we introduced many people to your beautiful candles.  Please pass on my best wishes to Jeffrey and let him know that all these years later I am delighted that his dream has truly become a reality.  With kindest regards, Sharyn

 

Hi there northern light people…I just wanted to thank you for the little pressies you include when I buy from you…and the accompanying notes are just lovely…I love everything about your company and the candles well they are just divine!

Love and Light Rema 

 

Hi there,

I just wanted to let you know that I received a Northern Light Muse Bag as a gift from a company called Print Dolls (www.printdolls.com.au) for featuring their product in our magazine.

I think the candles (especially this little bag) are so divine, and I love your whole story (my godfather is also a beekeeper! – they are such nice smelling people!!) so I am also going to feature them in the shopping pages.

I will send you a copy of the issue once it is published (November) and I look forward to enjoying these lovely little candles.

Kind regards,

Lucy

To all the team at Northern Light, particularly Kathryn and Rebecca,

Just a quick note to say a much heartfelt thankyou!

I received my order yesterday and had a wonderful time unwrapping everything. You have a beautiful product in the candles and the enchanting porcelains. The small note and lavender were such a lovely additional touch.

Kindest regards

Emma

 

Dear Northern Light,

I have received the package and would like to say what an absolute pleasure it was. You said to enjoy the light but how could I not. It is such a beautiful light from your candles.  It was also lovely to see that so much had been done naturally in the packaging and invoicing.  If only everyone could see it that way.

Thank you for the extra candle. I appreciate it and enjoy it. I am sure I will return when I need more candles and a gift or two.
Many thanks

Suzanne

 

 

Hi Kathryn,

Thank you for your lovely e-mail.  It made me smile! 

Dealing with you folks at Northern Light is always an absolute pleasure. 

Thank you for the wonderful lights and service.

Warm and bright regards,

Tara

 

 

 

Hi Northern Light,

I love your candles and my 2 boy's Jack and Saxon love lighting them each night. I adore the little muse candles they look stunning and my latest order is for gifts for some lovely friends and hopefully future customers. I will not buy my candles from anywhere else now! Even my husband who doesn't usually take much notice said he really liked them!
My goal this year has been to buy gifts that support fair trade and/or are kind to the environment,  give back to communities etc! So I have been looking for companies that do this.
I burn candles a lot as I love the ambience and serenity that candle light gives, immediately it calms my two bouncy boy's!! I used to love to burn scented candles but did worry about the chemicals it may be emitting. I was also aware of the potential dangers of  using paraffin wax candles with carbon burning wicks. You certainly notice the difference when burning a pure quality candle.

Anyway thanks so much for all the lovely little gifts you have added to my parcels, I really appreciate it.

Kind Regards

Tracy

 

 

 

Hi Northern Light,

Wow!. Thanks so much for the excellent service and thanks for looking after it so swiftly.

Hope you are having an awesome weekend.

Warmest Regards
