Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you might want to know about our candles, our Candle Club, and how Raindeer Supply Co works.

Raindeer Supply Co is a family-run candle brand created by two brothers, Rainier and Teddy, and operated by The Social Media Posse LLC. Below are answers to the questions we hear most often about our candles, subscriptions, and local porch delivery.

What is Raindeer Supply Co?
Raindeer Supply Co is a small-batch candle brand created by two young brothers, Rainier and Teddy. The business began with a simple idea to sell candles through lemonade stands, neighborhood sales, and local porch delivery, then grew into a family-run candle brand with a monthly Candle Club.
Why is it called Raindeer Supply Co?
The name Raindeer was inspired by Rainier’s name. When he was younger, some kids would call him “Reindeer” because they could not quite remember his name. Over time, the idea stuck, and it became a fun and meaningful inspiration for the brand. The official brand name is Raindeer Supply Co, though some people search for Reindeer Supply Co by mistake.
How does the Candle Club work?
Our Porch Drop Candle Club allows customers to choose 1, 2, or 3 candles each month. Members select from available scents, including signature favorites and seasonal releases, then receive their monthly candles through local porch delivery in eligible areas.
Can I choose my scent each month?
Yes. Candle Club members can choose from current available scents during the monthly scent selection period.
Do you offer local delivery?
Yes. We offer local porch delivery in eligible areas. Deliveries are made to front porches, doorsteps, or another approved drop location. We do not deliver to mailboxes.
Do you ship outside the local area?
At launch, our main focus is local sales and porch delivery. Shipping may be added or expanded over time depending on product availability and logistics.
Are your candles handmade?
Yes. Our candles are hand-poured in small batches as part of a family-run business operated by The Social Media Posse LLC.
What type of wax do you use?
We use wax blends selected for clean burning, strong scent performance, and a smooth finished candle. Specific wax details may vary by product and season.
How long do your candles burn?
Burn time depends on the jar size, wick size, and burn habits. On average, our candles are designed to provide a generous and enjoyable burn life when used according to the care instructions.
Can I gift a Candle Club subscription?
Yes. Gift subscriptions are available and make a thoughtful gift for neighbors, teachers, family members, and friends.
Can I pause or cancel my subscription?
Yes. Subscription details, including billing, skipping, pausing, and cancellation timing, are explained in our Subscription Terms.
What if I move or need to change my delivery information?
Please update your information before the next monthly processing deadline so we can make changes in time for your next delivery.
What if I am not home when my delivery arrives?
That is okay. Porch deliveries are left at the designated drop location unless you provide different instructions. Because candles are sensitive to weather and heat, we recommend bringing your order inside as soon as possible.
Do your candles make good gifts?
Yes. Raindeer Supply Co candles are designed to be simple, gift-worthy, and easy to love. They are popular for hostess gifts, thank-yous, neighbor gifts, and seasonal giving.
Do your candles look exactly like the photos?
Almost — but with intentional variation. Our candles are hand-poured into thrifted mason jars and mugs sourced locally, so the exact vessel shape, handle, or label placement may differ slightly from the photo. Combined with small-batch wax finish variations, every candle ends up a little one-of-a-kind. We think it's part of the charm.
Why are the candle jars and mugs different shapes?
Because we pour into thrifted vessels. Each mason jar and mug is sourced second-hand from local thrift stores, garage sales, and pantries cleared out by neighbors — partly because it's more sustainable than ordering thousands of identical new vessels, partly because every candle ends up a little one-of-a-kind. Same wax, same scent, same care — just a slightly different jar. If you ever receive one with a real character to it, that's by design.
Is Raindeer Supply Co operated by children?
Raindeer Supply Co was created by Rainier and Teddy, but the business is family-run and legally operated by The Social Media Posse LLC. All sales, processing, subscriptions, and customer service are managed under adult supervision.
How should I burn and care for my candle?
Trim the wick before each burn, burn within sight, keep away from children and pets, and stop using the candle when only a small amount of wax remains. Please see our Candle Care page for full instructions.
