I have a question regarding "as is"  I have purchased many as is products and have never had a problem.  (clothing, shoes, etc.)

My question is regarding as is with candles.  I have seen as is with example slatkin candles.  I was curious if anyone has purchased an "as is" candle?

I was wondering if they have been burned?  I know on the air the candles have been burned and possiblly when purchased they may have been burned...I was curious.  

I don't mind purchasing as is, but I don't want to purchase as candle that has already been lit.  I want ot be the first.   (but I also like the discount)

I am just curious with this question.  thanks a lot.

I have purchased a few candles "as-is".  They were new, never lit.  If I remember correctly, some came in just a brown box and one came in a branded box.

You are welcome, friend

I have never personally purchased an "as is" candle, but I have read reviews where people have stated that candles have been previously burned or even almost empty!  For that reason alone, I have never bought a candle "as is."  

However, it seems ridiculous that QVC would sell a candle that has already been used, even at a cheaper price.  I guess it's a chance you take.

@ruthbe  -  You are able to return it if it doesn't work out.

I have ordered as is jewelry and a pair of miz Mooz shoes.  Both came new to me.  The shoes were in a different box, they had an inspected sticker on it.  The jewelry was boxed by designer. Maybe it was sent back, but perfect.  I only ordered the shoes because the new shoes were sold out in my size, then months later these came up, I snagged them to try.

I have ordered many 'as is' clothing items and all have been perfect.  I then decided to take a chance on an 'as is' Elton John TSV candle set of one of the flavors that had sold out and I was curious about.  One of the candles had been burned, I would say for around an hour or so, not much.  Anyway, it was full of soot, a mess, but cleaned up just fine after I wiped it all out with a paper towel.  I didn't bother to return it, wasn't worth the hassle to me.  This is the only time I've been burned (pun intended) on an 'as is' purchase.  Will I purchase an 'as is' candle set again?  Probably not.
