  1. That's a hard one... I like the Puppy Breath Pumpkin Paws Sweet Treats Raspberry Rotweiler ( I totally cant spell that) Fruity Poodle Table Scraps... I'll keep thinking
  2. I have ordered from them a few times. Their electric burners sell really good. I went to the Trade show with 3 boxes full of them and came home with 1/2 a box full. I buy the electric and the aroma melters. The electric burners with the cord are much bigger than the aroma melters that plug directly into the wall. But both sell well. I also have been selling their fragrance oils too and they go like hot cakes. I may start my own line of oils now that I know people love them.
  3. 100 boxes in a box in canada is 75$ (of tealight), plus shipping charges. So really they are close to 1.00 each once they get here. So I bet once my U.S. order gets here the price would end up being equal to what I usually pay anyway. Geeze! i just can't get a break!
  4. I just ordered tealight and votive acetate boxes. My order came to 180.00 and my shipping is 130.00 holy cow!! I live in Canada and there is still customs on top of that. How in the world can I find good quality packaging for a good price? The shipping kills us all in Canada! My normal canadian supplier of these sells tealight pkg for .75 + shipping. So i thought .31 was a great deal till I saw the shipping price. Am i still saving money? My goodness!
  5. They have just recently became my new favorite supplier!!! i love their fragrance oils and so far most of them have been great in my pariffin candles. Here are some that i have added to tmy line that you NEED to order samples of Black Cherry Green Apple Mojito Marshmallow Maddness (Light...but sooo great) Salty Sea Air Strawberry White Cake (to die for!!!) Cosmopolitan Tini (soo good!!!)
  6. Top 5 peaks Mango Papaya Pink Sugar Tall Grass (renamed Sweet Summer) Sweet Pea Lemon Pound Cake Oh heck here's 6...Coco Banana Blast (renamed Monkey Farts)
  7. I saw this pictire of Libbey Pie Wedge, very nice. I'm not sure what the min. order is at that place but I would really like to get some! Or does anyone know a similar item somewhere else? I don't know ho to post pics. Sorry if it turns out big.
  8. First of all thanks for all your opinions. But 1 month ago she did give me her website address and it was not that one at all. This one is brand new as it states on her webpage. But I am not angry anymore. It was in the heat of the moment when I first saw her new website. I have had time to think about it and learn that it is probably just a template. Sorry to everyone if I seemed unprofessional on how I handled the situation. But I have, like I stated before, cooled down. And I have appreciated everyones opinion on the matter and I don't feel like I need to reflect on this anymore, as I know how I am going to handle this in my own way... by doing nothing and enjoying making candles.
  9. So your telling me that she should drop me as her wholesaler because I'm mad that she stole my words? Whatever!! I was just asking for advice on how to react to this, and if anyone had anything like this happen before, and if i should say anything to her. If she does look at CT then maybe she can write her own words. I really only do not agree with the paragraph and the background, if it is a template then so be it she can use it. I'm am in no way putting her down, she seems like a nice lady and I have had a lot of interaction over the past month. I was just wondering why all of a sudden she has this homepage and it is strickingly similar to mine. Of course the pictures are different and changed around, who would be dumb enough to copy ererything from a persons website. She obviously does have to make it her own! I didn't realize that there were even templates that anyone can use. So I thought that she copied every single placement of pics, and other things on the homepage. So it's nice to know that she didn't do it maliciously. So the words from everyone is ... I should not be mad, and it's a template she chose to use. That is what I was looking for, was advice on how to react, and i got it thanks!
  10. I definately don't think I shot myself in the foot. She has the same background and her wording is almost the same as mine. Where she could of thought of her own. She probably only used the tart picture because it's the only picture that doesn't have my name on it. But it's the product shes selling anyway so my pictures are not a big concern. Anyway, so everyone is telling me it's not a big deal. I can see that she probably really likes my website and just started with that. I just hope if she uses my website and designs as a template that she could ask if it's ok. Or I could private label for her.
  11. My web designer does not give out templates, and she is not working with him. This she has done on her own. Yah it looks a bit different, but of course who wants to be a copy cat. But we live very close together that is all I'm saying. If she lived way down in florida...who cares! But she lives 400km away. I just want her to ask me for permission to do the same thing. If she wants to copy my labels, I can give her private labeling. Or I can give her permission to do her own with my same layout. Anyway I can see the resemblance!
  12. Yes she has her own pictures, it's her homepage I do not like at all!! It is very similar and she has just done this website in the last 3 weeks. I wonder where she got the homepage idea from? MINE!! I definately know she will be a long term customer, but I want her to keep to her own ideas. Or ask me if she can do certain things.
  13. Yah very true. But to have a very similar webite? My website is pretty origional and she copied it. I'm not happy with that idea, maybe she should of asked first, maybe I could of given her a guideline to follow or yes to certain things and images if she wants some. I would like some advice on if I should keep her or stop her order ASAP. She was getting free shipping next week because i was driving past her house anyway, so i need help on how to react to this.
  14. my website is (removed) hers is (removed) I know that the background anyone can probably get, and she better keep to her own pictures. But frig it is very similar!! She needs to take this down. She is pretty good with computers so she should know that copying someone elses hard work is not right.
  15. if she did this in 3 weeks, what else could she do? Should I drop her as a wholesaler? I am making her order now. Should I stop production? and drop her?
  16. I have been working with a wholesale customer for the past month and I have brought in 20 new scents for her and have been testing like crazy!! I just found her new website that she created on her own, and it is EXACTLY LIKE MINE!!!! I am @#$%#$$# PISSED!! Excuse me MAD!!! Can she do this? If I do a split screen shot and keep going back and forth from mine to hers it is identical except for the color!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How can a potential wholesale customer think she can copy my website?! AND SHE LIVES 400KM away!!! I had this website done professionaly and I love it and for her to copy it in 3 weeks, LIKE WHAT THE @#@$!!! I am mad, you would even believe!!! What do I do about this?
  17. Do you add the shipping cost into your candles when you price them? That is the way I was pricing my candles, but my accountant said not to because shipping is an expense. So how does everyone else price their candles? If you buy your jars for .80 then pay for shipping to your home, do you add the shipping cost onto all your products ordered? Or a percentage? Is my accountant right? shipping is an expense and is not to be added into the cost of making candles?
  18. I have a customer looking for these scents, anyone know of company that carries these, and smell great! Coco Banana Jack Frost Bergamont ambrosia Are these good sellers for you?
  19. Thanks for all the replys. If I were to charge a yearly fee for private labeling how much is reasonable?
  20. what r they guidelines when sticking on labels. Does the manufacturer have to be on the label?
  21. I have a new wholesale customer, she will be selling a lot of candles and have huge orders. The weird thing is, is that she wants NO labels on them. she says when she orders candles she will just rip the labels off. I'm sure she would probably then stick her own label on them. I want my website address on them at least! What do you think if this request from this customer? What should I do?
  22. I have a customer who is farmilliar with 2 companies and their scents. These 2 companies I have never tried before, so I would like some feedback on them and these exact scents. www.rusticescentuals.com _________________________ Apple Jack & Peel Buttermint Cinnamon Bun Holly & Ivy Hot Fudge Kickin Caramel Sea Spray Tuscan Cypress Welcome Home Yuzu http://justscent.com ____________________ Christmas Blizzard Gingerbread Goodies Juniper Breeze Mojito Cocktail Nostalgia Pink Sugar Pumpkin Pie Spice Sugar Plum Berries Bergamot I already order from Peaks, so if there is something there that is a duplicate or better I need to know. I already get cinnamon bun, pink sugar, and pumpkin spice from peaks and love them. But any information on these companies and scents would be great. Or any scent you think I need to add to my line from those 2 companies.
  23. I have a customer looking for 6x8 square candle. Anyone know where I can get a mold that size? Or any mold around that size if I can't find in a square? I have looked and can only find candle molds only 4' wide.
  24. http://search.ebay.ca/_W0QQsassZtxchevy here's the link for the presto pots. Like I said it will cost ya $100 including the shipping. I love mine and I have never had any problems with it. I will probably buy another soon
