Wow...Gotta get in on this because I am one of the people that runs a site like this... First off...I do NOT reuse anyone's boxes. Every box that gets sent out is a new one. I use the boxes that the samples come in to store the samples in until i REPACKAGE them into other NEW boxes. Secondly...I offer them for sale because A: It cost me 39.95 a month to run my website. B: I spend many many many hours on my site updating everything, taking pictures, answering many emails a day, advertising my site, plugging the site, adding banners and so on. And I literally do mean hours a day trying to build a reputable website to help you guys get your products out there. Thirdly...I may profit some but believe me, its not a whole lot. If I were being paid for my time and effort I wouldn't make anything. I do pay for shipping out of the price and I have many participating Etailers this month and will most likely be using the large shipping boxes so right there will be 8.10 off what you think I make. And I advertise their site for FREE on my website plus take pictures of their products and add them to their banner advertisement. When things are hectic with the site I can spend up to 8 hours updating this site. I put A LOT of time into building this site. What am I getting out of it? Pretty much nothing...so why do I do it? Because thats the kind of woman I am. I love to help people and by doing this I am helping YOU get your product out there to people that may have never even heard of you. I in exchange have lost a whole room in my house, don't have time to make as many candles as I used to and spend many late nights on this computer helping Etailers out. So many of you think its a "rip off" but let me tell you, for what little profit I make doing all of this its still worth it to me. So making a few dollars on each box is NOTHING compared to the money I spend on advertising, running, maintaining and many long hours building this site. Its not something I just sat and did in 1 day and "boom" here I am just sitting collecting the money. This is a daily thing I maintain. I'm sorry if I seem to be coming off strong about this but you don't understand what a BIG undertaking something like this is and how much time I put into it on a daily basis to run something like this all to help YOU out. So there is so much more repackaging than you all realize... Yes, this was copied from a post I made long ago. I don't have time to type this up everytime someone thinks its a scam. I would love to donate to the Cancer cause. I have lost a few close to me from that but as it stands right now...I do not make enough to something like that but I would not rule it out in the future to participate in something like that. Like i have said before...If anyone thinks its easy to run something like this or cheap, please by all means go for it. My family would thank you! I just want you all to be clear one a few things... I am NOT ripping anyone off, I make peanuts doing what I do and if anyone of you can do this cheaper than I...Please be my guest.

Thats ok candle man...I understand. No hard feelings at all, you probably helped a few people understand the whole thing.

Sara...I have the site through Homestead.com. I pay for a few extras for the site. And I don't want everyone to confuse me with Lemming Central, thats not my site.

Thanks Candle man! I did BUY a box from the first month..I paid $8 to my paypal account for one...lol But every sample i get goes to those who buy a box...Now not saying there arn't samples i would love to try and if i do, i BUY a box from myself. Its a business and i treat it as such.

I guess i'm one of the lucky ones...i live 20 minutes away from Dutch Gold Honey...Gamber Container. Thats where i get all my glass but i never seen that jar there.....

Thanks Bunny and Robin, thats a big help....

Ok, if i'm mixing two already made products to make 1 end product how do i label the bottle? Lets say the first product has 10 different ingredients and the second product has 15 different ingredients. Now i'm mixing the two to make 1 product.... Now how do i label all the ingredients for the end product... because there may be the same ingredients on both bottles and more in one than the other? Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!

Thanks guys...I'm so bad at wording stuff...I meet with her tomorrow at 2 so i need to get this done...Any more help is welcome:grin2:

Hi all....I did a search for a wholesale contract but all i came up with was everyone sending them but not posting them...lol I'm meeting with a woman to give her info on my candles but i don't have a contract together. I'm so crushed for time and i can't get my head together to get something started:o ! Can someone please send me some idea's or what they use? I'll work it to fit what i want, i just need a start...I hate when i'm going 90 mph in a circle but thats how i get when i get too excited..lol Beanpole1014@aol.com Thanks bunches!! Amy

lol...i had my candles in there about two years ago...I can't say it was all bad but it seemed like they found an excuse to keep taking more of your money each month...I had to always call and have them explain why they were taking so much month after month. Was it worth it? Well after my candles hit the newspaper it was, gave everyone a place to get them instead of ordering and paying shipping...Would i do it again? No, probably not.

Thanks everyone!! I have no clue how to use "codes"...lol I just use what they give me and never seen anything about codes...So maybe i will just put a thingy on there about viewing it in IE... Thanks again you guys!! Amy

I have been working on this website and everytime i view it on aol its always way off center but if i view it on IE its fine. I'm building it on Homestead if that helps any...I need to know how to make it view right on ALL browsers..

That is so pretty! Can you send it to me also!! thanks bunches! Amy
