Mongomery Industries White Taper Candles 14" (8 Pack), Vot-

Cons:Two of the 8 came broken (that's 25% of the order for those who think that's not a big deal) but I needed the remaining 6 for a deadline, so I didn't return them all. I'd like 25% of my $38 back and have no way of contacting the seller that I can see. They come shipped loosely in a box. Considering these are candles - and pretty darned expensive ones- I would've liked to see them packaged more carefully!!The smell. The smell!!!! Dear God, the smell.I've never smelled anything quite like it. It filled the entire front of my house - I'm not exagerating. When I delivered them (gifts), the recipients noticed the smell right away and commented too. It's putrid. It's rotten. They've aired out for a week and it's still strong. Nothing so beautiful should smell so rancid.Pros:To be fair, when you burn them, there is no increase in putrescence.They burn nicely and appear to be very long lasting.They are dripless.Amazon and / or this seller give me only the options to return them, order again (never at this price), or write a review.For what I paid and considering they could've, at a minimum, seperated them with tissue or something so they could not rattle, bang against each other and break.Seller??I'd like a refund of $9.50, please.
