They are great quality molds, but their customer service leaves a little to be desired. I ordered at the beginning of August when the time frame on their site was 1-2 weeks. At 3 weeks I e-mailed them cause I hadnt gotten a shipping notification yet. I was told it'd be shipped right then. At 6 weeks I e-mailed again. It hadnt even been shipped out yet. I was NOT impressed.

I ended up going with flat rate shipping. So much easier for my sanity!

I only sell one size jar - the 16oz apothecary jar. It does well.

My favourite place to order from (especially because you're in Canada!) is http://www.scrapbookstar.ca/ They also have an online message board that is amazing (and they're having an online crop this weekend!)

The only soap I've ever had DOS in is my Spa soap, which is a dark grey/brown colour. I would never have known it had DOS if it wasnt for the smell. Yuck!

I have been using vistaprint for 3 years now & never had a problem. I'm always very apprehensive about deals that sound too good to be true - they usually are!

Wholesale is usually double your costs. Most of the time it works out to about 50% of retail - so in your case, about $5.

Hey Lindsay, are you doing the Milton Craft show this weekend. I'm gonna try and get there. I missed the fall one

Nope, I havent heard of that one.

I looked at VCC candle retreat but decided not to go, have you ever been there before? Maybe next year.

Yep, this will be my 3rd year attending! It's a great time!

Congratulations! That's awesome!

I drove down to Buffalo & bought my presto's, then had my dad put in the spigot for me.

Both Canwax & VCC are awesome suppliers, I'm going to the VCC retreat in May!

Congratulations!

I will be at the same retreat in May! Is this your first time going? Feel free to PM me if you have any questions about it, it's my 3rd year attending.

I get mine from vistaprint. Best price for full-colour cards I've found!

Sent you another PM

Did you ever get my PM?

16oz apothecary jar - $15.00 each or 3/$40.00 (CAD)

You could grate it up & add it to a new unscented batch.

My best show ever (in terms of money made per hour) was a show with I think 8-10 vendors last year at an elementary school.

You never know!

votives & then containers (my only size is the 16oz apothecary)

I have one that I got at walmart. I use it to heat my jars/molds and also to smooth out my tops when needed. hth

I'm doing a Peak's co-op right now in the co-op section of the board. A great way to get supplies from the US at a good price!

When buying in Canada I like to buy from http://www.canwax.com or www.villagecraftandcandle.com (VCC runs a candlemaking retreat every year, it's AWESOME)

It's always nice to get samples, but unless it says on their website that they send samples with their orders I dont expect one.

ChrisR is right. If it's not skin/soap/body safe, you can add whatever you want to it & it'll still be an irritant.

I dont fill until it's overflowing the first time. I just fill until it's just barely up to the top of the mold. Then I repour, hotter, the next day.

(oh and get wick pins, they'll save you TONS of headaches!)

It looks great!! So organized!
