Technically it is considering if it wasn't for the sale that same amount of oils would run you probably 50$+ before shipping was added. Another way to look at it is this 20$ for 20 oils +20$ for shipping equates to 2$ per ounce of oil. That is a hell of a discount when there oils all run over 2$ an oz normally. Basically it is like buying the oils at a slight discount with free shipping if you take into consideration the per oz cost including shipping charges. My order came to less than 2.30$ an ounce with shipping included. I figured this math might help some people to understand it is not as bad as they really think it is.

GoldieMN Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 And I hesitated ordering when my shipping came to $15 which included 21 samples and a pound of Amish Quilt which I need. GoldieMN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbla Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Hmmmmm....I was just about to post asking what shipping was for any of you who ordere,d and I see you're already discussing it. That is a bit steep! I actually may end up with two sample sets (you can order more than one, but it has to be all unique FOs) so that might distribute shipping costs a bit. Make it less costly per FO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldieMN Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 @Darbla I'm not sure, but I think you can order two or more of the same sets. Just can't order within a set, duplicates. GoldieMN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah S Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 I ordered the 20 samples, a one pounder, two 8oz bottles, and a 4oz bottle. My shipping was $19. It is a great deal if you order other things with it. FWIW, I love their room/body spray, they have a ton of micas and glitters (shoot! I forgot to order glitter!), they have adorable lip gloss pots.... I can put a good amount of stuff in my cart before the shipping gets too crazy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darbla Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 (edited) Ugh. I'm kinda striking out. A lot of their scents apparently are not part of the sale.

I stated above that I may order more than 1 set but now it's looking like I'll barely have enough for even one set.... From their site: " Choose 20 scents from our drop down menu for each Sampler Pack you'd like to order. Because you are limited to one of each scent per order, as you choose fragrance oils, they will be removed from the other drop-downs.

Yes true enough ,guess I am used to the flat rate with other suppliers lol... I do pay a higher price for ship with Candlewic ,however I buy wax when I order from them & wait for the discount shipping codes . I have not calculated ship to Tx from RE as of yet ,will see what it comes out to this evening. The other issue is I see some here are saying you can only get select scents ,will check my options now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I adore the scent & it is spot in to Loves Baby Soft . I was blessed to get some from a friend a while back. PM your address ,I can get this out to you promptly. I do not have the others you are wanting ,they sound great thou . I am wanting to order RE ,however not sure if I want another supplier , especially with the High shipping . Kinda spoiled with flat rate shipping cost lol. I do order from C Wic & the ship is high with them as well ,however I do order their wax & wait on discount ship codes when buying the oils I love .

Would you know anything about that? I don't suppose you've tried the moisturizing body spray, or the liquid shower gel? Yes, you could definitely use their mica for blush. Many of them are lip safe too, when possible I like to find one that does double duty. Were you thinking a powder blush or more like a stain? I sure do love to play with cosmetics. I have not tried the moisturizing spray or the shower gel. I don't generally use many bases, but I love that their room/body spray is alcohol based and (again) can do double duty.

All true Ncraiders, but I just can't bring myself to pay as much for shipping as the product. I don't use any of their oils now and this is not a good enough incentive for me to try em out.

ncraiders Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 When placing my order i had to substitute a few fragrances cause they were not included in the sale. In fact i added those couple onto the order at normal price because i wanted to test them out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trappeur Yes once you go to the sample pack of 20 ,click the arrow in the drop down menu ,scents are listed below .I see not all scents are included in the sale ,kinda frustrating ,as I had a list of the ones I wanted ,many are not on the list kwim. I will definitely have to buy a few pound bottles to get the best deal ,due to the costly shipping. I have no clue what scents to choose in pound size . I have never purchased from RE . I am definitely thinking about a pound of Dreamcatcher ,sounds so interesting . Trapp do you have any good recommendations? The fresh Peach also may be a winner,I just don't know . I want to select 20 samples & 3 pounds that are not included in sale .lol.. I hope I am making scents here lol. So what's great Trapp?????Need some ideas here .Thank you so much 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean .This will be my first order ,if I decide to pay the High ship. I will definitely add a few pound bottles to make it worth paying the ship kwim. You are right thou,more sales will certainly follow .Let me know if you change your mind on the CR ,I have plenty & do not mind sending you some . It is a wonderful scent 😉 Kat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly half the oils on my wish list weren't available for the sampler. 😡 I did find 20 that I wanted to try, but overall I was disappointed. I did need another pound of Clothespins, and I got 4oz of the Children's Room for baby stuff for my bestie, otherwise I might have skipped it all together. @Marleigha, I got a whole 8oz of the Issey, you made it sound so awesome I couldn't pass it up! 😄 Sarah I promise you once you put it in product your going to absolutely fall in love. It's really a very versatile FO. Well to my nose anyways. My good friend who lives in Indianapolis told me to give it a try, that she loves it! So for the scent event last year I ordered it... OOB I wasn't a fan so it just sat and sat. She asked me if I had tried it yet and I told her no. She said just put it in product and then let her know what I thought . I just so happened to be talking to another friend of mine who has also used Issey and she said just put a dab of it on your arm and smell it 2 or 3 minutes later. So about 3 minutes later on that very day is when I fell incredibly head over heals in love with the Issey from RE. Then once you put it in wax it's DREAMY! Please do share your thoughts on it once it arrives. I placed a rather large order the very last day of the sale with RE. I was really sooo..... shocked when I got an email this morning saying my order from RE already shipped! It's scheduled to arrive Friday by the end of the day!!! I expected it to be delayed due to the sale and what the website said. The website said something about orders could take up to 2 weeks to ship, that's why I was so shocked! 😇 What else did you order? I took your suggestion and ordered a 16 oz bottle of Clothespins instead of getting the 16 oz bottle of Flannel Sheets. Your description of it sounded so fresh and clean without being overwhelming. Thanks so much again! 😇 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree with you about their shipping sometimes. I guess it's based off of where you live. I'm in Ohio and they are in Sorth Carolina so at first I figured my shipping would be reasonable. My friend lives in Indianapolis and her shipping was much lower than mine. I am still baffled at how their shipping prices work. But I quickly figured out that the more you add the more reasonable shipping becomes. I ordered 13, 1 pound bottles & 60, 1 oz bottles and my shipping was $29.71 Which is still higher than Candle Science which is further away from me and only $21.63 but their oils are unique and I love them for that and they always perform so well in my wax. So maybe try a few 8 oz or 16 oz bottles along with your samples. The shipping certainly improves the more you add. Kwim? I hope this helps.

TallTayl Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Pretty sure a base handling charge is buried in the shipping. I can order 1 lb or 20 lbs and the shipping is largely the same. For best savings, find a local friend, order together. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
