The Most Important Things To Watch Out For When Buying Taper Candle Holders Online
Buying candles and candle holders online is super convenient. You have a endless selection to pick from in an instant. If you went to a store to do this, you’d basically be stuck with whatever a store has in stock and you’ll most likely be doing lots of running around.
But there are a couple things that are very important to watch out for when you are buying these candles holders online. Make sure to read these points below as you don’t want to be buying additional pieces or returning what you’ve already bought.

1. The diameter of the taper candle
So if you already have the taper candles that you plan to use, find out what diameter they are by looking on the package. If you don’t have the package for some reason you can measure them with whatever you have around the house (tape measure, ruler, etc.)
If you don’t have any taper candles or candlesticks for you candle holders yet, it’s a good idea to just buy some dripless taper candles online that have good reviews and are of standard size so that they fit most candle holders.
Standard size is 7/8″ diameter at the base of the candle. You should be fine if your candles are 3/4″ diameter as well but sometimes the 1 inch diameter candles have trouble fitting many candle holders. All of the candle holders listed below should fit 3/4 – 7/8 taper candles properly.
We recommend any of the following dripless taper candles if you don’t already have any. These are all 3/4″ or standard 7/8″ candles.
Tip to remember: Dripless candles are only dripless if they are burnt where there is no draft, at a 90 degree angle, and are spaced out enough that heat from one doesn’t warp a nearby candle.

2. Buying from a reputable source and reading customer reviews
Since we are ordering white ceramic taper candle holders, we need to be sure that whoever is doing the shipping of our products is taking the proper steps to ensure that our more-than-likely fragile pieces don’t get delivered to us shattered. Sometimes accidents happen, but we at least want to know that who we are buying from will take returns in case something goes wrong. This is why it’s best to order something from a North American retailer rather than overseas, in case of a return, it just makes things so much easier.
As for the customer reviews, we made sure to read through any available reviews, find what people had to say, and pick only the best candle holders for our list below. It still might be a good idea to double check for yourself, just in case anything has changed.
