Congrats!! The one last week (ep 100) was right by me... maybe 20 minutes from where I live.

I make no distinction between a sample size and any other size of fragrance. It comes from the same container no matter what size is dispensed for a customer.

Frosted Snowdrops may be back in a few weeks. Still on the fence as to if I want to keep that one in stock.

Wow, I don't recall hiring you to work for me, so maybe... just maybe... you should not be tossing around accusations that I "pocket the rest" after UPS charges me $5 to ship a box. I know for a fact that I have N E V E R shipped a box to ANYONE for that cheap. And if I had, I would not be charging them $10 for shipping. Obviously, you think USPS is the way to go... OH WAIT! Now I remember why I use UPS to ship Fragrance Oils... I do not feel like going to JAIL or paying a TEN THOUSAND DOLLAR fine. Read this: http://pe.usps.com/text/pub52/pub52c3_004.html#NwV341374edwa I am not going to break the law for anyone, just so you can save a couple of bucks while I put myself and my business at risk. As I have said over and over again, and as other people have also said, shipping prices per pound drop dramatically after the first pound of product is in the box. So yes, it is going to be expensive if you want only a few ounces of fragrance oil. By the way, in the end I LOSE money on shipping when everything else is factored into the overall cost. I have to buy boxes, packing materials, tape, labels (not to mention having all that stuff shipped to me and paying that as well) and assorted UPS costs, not including fuel and everything else. I am sure you don't care about any of that though. Normally, I am a nice guy, but I do not apprecaite being attacked and being made out to be someone who is out to take people's money. I have been in business for many years and go to great lengths to satisfy the needs of my customers. As they say though, you can not make everyone happy, and there is always going to be people out there that whine and complain about everything.

UPS decides on what to charge for shipping. I have no control over that. Please keep in mind that if you want 1 oz or 16 oz it is going to cost the same amount to ship it (with the exception of the box weight, of course). Shipping prices drop dramatically as the weight of the box goes up. It is much more cost effective, shipping wise, for a large amount of product shipped at the same time.

I personally refuse to use soy or soy blends. I have dealt enough with soy to know that I do not like it. Give me my paraffins any day of the week. Besides, soy is not as environmentally friendly as some people would like you to think. I'm not saying that to stir a fight with anyone, just stating a fact.

I soaped it and it came out really good.

Oh good, I'm not the only one who does RT then! I did the whole temp thing the first time and was like "forget this!" And I will mix, melt and let it sit for a little while and then after an hour or so I combine, etc. The soap looks good for your first time! Mine looked terrible my first time, but it sure did make a good bar. LOL

Pics? When you add scent to the soap, you should mix with your spoon and not the stick blender. The stick blender will help accelerate the process once the FO is added. I did that the first time and like you, had to scoop the soap into the mold. Since then, I add FO, and stir with the spoon until it is nice and incorporated.

These are not new rules. They have been in effect for years now. This is why I ship FO UPS, and not through the mail.

Sorry!!! (no I'm not)

Yup, but I haven't told too many people about it.

Yeah Grumpy. That soap looks horrible. I can't believe everyone is telling you it is so good. The colors and everything... just terrible. So please, just send me that crappy looking soap, so you do not have to look at it anymore. You shouldn't have to deal with it, and I can dispose it of it properly. Dork.

Looks great!!

Thank you for the compliments on the soap everyone.
