I used to enjoy the nonscented pillar candles and they were worth the money. Up untill this year. Incredibly disappointed. They performed like the cheapest candle. Tunnelling terribly. They never did this. Shortcuts in manufacturing? Show details
I am still waiting for my order , site says 3 to 6 days delivery , still waiting on order…now it says my order number is invalid…ordered on the 12th of June, today is 19th which is a week after order, today received email says expected delivery on the 26th June , that is 2 weeks after paying for my order. This is the second time to me that this… Read more
happened to me, thought first time might have been a one if but appears on line orders are not a priority. Will never order from Dusk them again…
Reed diffuser "eco" refills are crap. The lid is so difficult to remove that I had to use tools. It then spilled all over my tools and the wash basin. Such a stupid lid on an otherwise great product.

Used to be good. Now terrible quality! Will never bye these again. Show details
Poor customer service and products. As Dusk offers a 12-month warranty, I recently visited them because both my sister's gift, an electric diffuser, and my own stopped working. They responded that I couldn't get a refund—only store credit for one. This was because: • They couldn't determine the purchase date of my original diffuser, as one I was… Read more
trying to return was an exchange from an original diffuser that also stopped working. • The second diffuser was slightly dirty. (see below) I also asked them to cancel my membership, but they said they couldn’t because they didn’t know how.
I emailed dusk regarding a candle that caught fire and exploded sending thick glass and wax all over the place . I received an email back saying it was users fault ! Never will I buy anything from DUSK again
I went into dusk asking for a candle that goes through whole house . They recommended the air rater or something they was so positive the candles were of great quality and the scent would linger. Well what a disappointment they barley do a smallish room. Glasshouse candles so much better . Do not recommend dusk if that was there strongest candle then that is rubbish. Never again Show details
Beautiful smelling candles , makes my whole home smell wonderful, well worth every penny Show details
This morning my relatively new dusk candle literally exploded sending glass and wax all over the place. It was a double wick candle that I’ve only used a couple of times. Show details

Great Store – Great store, lovely products and affordable prices. The staff at our local Busselton W.A. store are extremely helpful with gift suggestions while being friendly and professional.
Follow-up · Sad to say that our local store has permanently closed. I have used mail order but it's not the same as visiting a store. It was a great store staffed by lovely people but obviously wasn't meeting the requirements to be viable.
Purchased over $100 of products. All processed perfectly and received notification that the parcel was on its way and should arrive around 5:40pm. At 6:00pm I received a text saying my order had been cancelled and I would be refunded. No reason at all given. No "we can't get it delivered but is it ok to ship?". Nothing.
Follow-up · I had to organise a refund myself in Afterpay and got my money back because dusk didn’t respond. No response to me personally either.
ordered a candle warmer online on 17 March 2026 and paid for the order. their website states that they pack orders within hours of receiving them for dispatch, yet my order is still in processing on 13 April 2026 and my multiple emails elicited 2 x… Read more
generic aut replies and phone calls have gone unanswered with no response to the messages left . In frustration I left a comment about my poor Customer Experience on their social media and someone reached out to me asking me if I wanted them to refund me or did I still want the order, i replied to this and advised when the order will be dispatched only to receive an automated response that someone with get back to me in 2-3 business days, we are on day 3 today and still no contact and the order is still in a status of processing.
DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND DONT BUY FROM DUSK AUSTRALIA
Follow-up · Following this review I sent a further 2 emails and reached out on 3 social media platforms with no replies and then following their big warehouse sale I miraculously got a shipping notification and the parcel was delivered approx 5.5 weeks after ordering. I did ring 2 stores to see if they had it in stock to be told it was a limited release… Read more

I love the wonks Marshmallow Puff candles and room spray I highly recommend them The staff were so friendly I ended up ordering more online Very fast postage Excellent product Show details
Excellent shopping experience! – Today I returned to Dusk Innaloo to buy another Birthday present. Amelia was fabulous, excellent customer service and product knowledge. For the second time in a week it was an absolute pleasure to shop at Dusk. Thank you Arlene
Won’t buy Christmas products again – I like them very much and will pay the price costs for most items but - but v disappointed in these candles. Had to continuously empty wax out of them for them to stay alight. At that cost, never again. The smaller ones didn’t last long in the general Christmas stock either.
Negative reviews
They had a 2 for 1 offer which I took advantage of. Turns out that they were just trying to get rid of tealights that smell of absolutely nothing. May as well save them for a power outage because they don't smell. Waste of money. Don't bother going there. Show details
Very disappointing experience with Dusk. My order was cancelled days after being placed, despite the items still showing as available online for 2 days after placing my order. I originally used a $20 welcome voucher, but after cancelling my order they only reissued it with a minimum $40 spend condition. Pathetic customer service and extremely frustrating experience.
Ordered for my 80 Year old Mother for Mothers Day. Nothing arrived it wasn't even dispatched so when I emailed on Monday AFTER Mothers day I requested an immediate Refund as the Occasion had passed by then. I was sent a Dispstched email along with a complicated return process that my 80 Year old Mother is completely unable to negotiate. I asked… Read more
for a FULL Refund BEFORE They dispatched so it shouldn't be on a Customer to sort ehen it wasn't my fault. Completely unacceptable response

5-7 days to possibly answer an email this is a joke....dont bother ordering online and forget about phoning them as they dont answer, terrible store with no customers service go elsewhere and dont give them your business this is why these places close simply because they dont care. Show details
Extremely disappointing experience. Dusk used to be such a fantastic business. Unfortunately this is no longer the case. I can live with the reduced variety of items, but I wonder how many line items they actually have to sell. I have tried to purchase many different items online. Every item I have looked at was 'sold out'. This has been the… Read more
case for many weeks. It feels like bait buying. Why leave up items online that are no longer available? I feel as if I am being duped.
To top it off - I am a Dusk member (which costs money). The promises of the loyalty program do not materialise. This is misleading advertising. When I rang HQ to discuss this matter a recorded voice said to leave my name and number and they would return my call. I am still waiting.
I have recently purchased with another candle company: Hueseeka. They are far more responsive; have a much better range and are actually cheaper than Dusk.
Sad to see a good company go down the drain.
They used to be good, now they're crap. They take forever to ship items and when you follow them up they're unresponsive, or send a generic email which tells you nothing.

What happened to this company? I have been buying from dusk from day one. Customer service is appalling. Uselss and do not read emails or respond to concerns. Communication is disgusting. Customer service via email is what destroys this brand. You bring out a sale 5 for $50, email arrives inbox Sunday night at 9.37pm, and closed Monday morning… Read more
at 3am. Why on earth would you market this pathetic promotion. Australia sleeps Dusk! Get onto useless customer service team, informed sale was extended. I would have been better off talking to a brick wall. Tried to call, of couse, you can only leave a voicemail on the 1300 number. Request a supervisor and of course reps totally ignorant of that request. Good luck getting any support from dusk. Your products are great, but your service is extremely poor, non existent. Thanks for a big fat nothing [Name Removed]! By the time I found the items, of course, "sold out" "sold out" "sold out". I dont think they were ever available when the sale started. Joke.
Recently bought long burning tea lights. They are pathetic. Waste of money. This is disappointing as I have previously purchased these and they were good. Obviously Dusk has changed this product, the shape has certainly changed. Will not buy again.
From day one, Dusk customer service has been a nightmare. Slow responses, ignored emails, and a total lack of accountability. No one is willing to actually help or resolve the issue — just excuses followed by silence. Absolutely terrible service. Save your money and frustration and go elsewhere. In response to my email below, I was told the… Read more
membership fee was non-refundable. OUTRAGEOUSLY BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE - as if I would ever consider shopping with them again....
Hi Dusk Customer Service,
I am writing regarding my order #2008355836 placed on 11 January 2026, and my 2-year Dusk Rewards membership.
Your website stated standard delivery would take 4–7 business days (as does the order confirmation below), yet I received no tracking information within this timeframe despite lodging an online enquiry on 11 January, which was never answered. Your advertised phone number has also been consistently busy. After I followed up via Facebook Messenger, my order was finally posted today (10 business days since my purchase).
This delay has caused a significant issue. The item I purchased was a birthday gift for a friend staying in a motel in XXX until today. The gift has not only missed her birthday but will arrive after she has left XXX, completely undermining the point of the purchase. I am sure you can understand this situation is extremely frustrating, and that I am not a satisfied customer.
Given the lack of timely communication, delayed delivery, and extreme difficulty contacting and receiving a timely response from your support team, I request a refund or credit for my $10 membership as a minimum. I am extremely loathe to purchase from you in future given this recent experience, so really don't want the membership....
Ordered online. Requested to collect. The items were all available when ordering. I used a voucher set to expire as the company failed to send it in a timely manner. Paid, used voucher and credit card, and was emailed to say that the items were unavailable. So they were slow in sending the voucher, gave a cut off date within a few hours of the email, advertised stock and sold stock they did not have. Is the store real?! I’m a bit stunned.
I bought a box set of smallish scented soy candles. They were far from cheap but the quality was poor. The wicks in over half of them were not centred in the wax so the flame was getting very close to the side of the glass, heating it up and the wax was not melting evenly. Also a few of the scents smelled good in the box but really had little to… Read more
no punch when lit and placed in the room. Compared to Palm Beach, Circa, Glasshouse, Ecoya, they don't represent value for money. I will give them points for presentation. Their products do look beautiful.
As other customers have reported. I had a candle that was burning for 1 hour when the glass exploded and wax went everywhere. As per other reviews here, I was told it was user error. They do not take safety seriously. For a so called premium brand, their accountability and customer safety is non existent.
Follow-up · The candle had only burnt for an hour. So there was about 10% of the candle used. I have no idea what caused the explosion and it had 3 wicks. Dusk customer service were not interested in getting the candle back for investigation at all.
I made an order with Dusk for Christmas. I placed my order 2 days prior to their supposed “cutoff” dates for Christmas delivery, paying $26 for express. They did not even ship the orders until after the cutoff date, and shipped everything individually from multiple different stores around the country, something they did not warn was a possibility… Read more
when I ordered, as most other shops let you know. I would have just clicked and collected from different stores had I known. One of the packages did not get shipped until the 23rd of December… more than a week after the order was placed, despite paying so much for express. I had already sent an email 5 days prior expressing concern that my items had not been shipped, and received an automated email telling me basically I wouldn’t hear anything for 5-7 days, so I knew I wouldn’t get a response until at least after Christmas and was fine with this, however I wanted to ask for a refund for the express shipping, and also express my disappointment at the lack of customer service/support received, as i think if there was a problem with this item from the order that caused a delay I should have been made aware. On the 2nd January, I received an automated email that a refund would be processed - great! But still no response from an actual customer service representative at any point in time though. Honestly, worst experience and extreme lack of any customer service or support is actually concerning for such a large business. Do better Dusk! And fix your vague and confusing (borderline deliberately misleading) FAQ’s on your website. I like the products, but things are poorly run.
Do not buy the diffuser love Anna the citrus smell one is dam gross. It's like it's gone off. Mouldy smell. Waste of money do not recommend this one at all. So disappointed as got it online. Yet I'm a huge fan of dusk. This one absolutely nope
