Donita, So sorry to hear about your sister. Those are really pretty tapers you made.

Thank you!

Thanks so much I will check them out.

I use Snowtops. You may need to lower the fragrance load. It is really strong and good.

Does Daystar have the best Vanilla Bean Noel fragrance that works in Soy?

I would place all your candle products on the plates and wrap em up. They'll have a classier look without the basket.

The first thing I thought of was Angel Kisses or Sweet Angel. So sad to hear things like this.

Can anybody give me some reviews on the following and if they used soy wax. TIA Cappuccino Hazelnut Apple Orchard Holiday Spice Christmas Pear

Get to your nearest Stag Shop and start marketing those. I have a friend that markets her votives ie. sex on the beach, wet and wild, etc., at these types of shops and they fly. Consumers love "different & unique" and in the kinky and wild shops, you have a seller in my eyes!

Ok, tried the 4/0 first to be safe and the stinking thing still pooled over the edge. No draft or breeze happening. What I did notice with the 4/0 square cotton wicking was a slight bend to the tip of the burning wick. Do you think I should try a #1 cotton? I rolled these up pretty tight also.

Thanks to both of you. I'll try the 2/0 first.

I am in the process of making rolled beeswax tapers and was wondering what is a good starting point for my wicking and if I should prime it first. TIA

OMG Violet, if I didn't notice that your from NY, I would have thought that we were dealing with the same person. I'm a 1 1/2 hour drive from my so called "Black Listed" retailer, but don't you just want to send someone into her shop in the morning, purchase around $1,800 worth of her stock, than show up just before she closes and ask to return all the products? BTW...I think you'll do great at the craft fair. Live and Learn, don't answer her calls or emails anymore. Cut her loose!

Holly, Don't know if you've tried JS's Clove Pomander http://www.justscent.com/product4096.html but it is really good!!! You could try that one if all else fails.

Sorry to hear your going through this Violet! I think we can all chime in and say we've been through something like this in the past. We recently have been dealing with a customer also that ordered her minimum Sept. 19th and was well informed that they have to send a cheque before products leave our warehouse. Well, 2 weeks later, they email me with an addition to their order, then they want an invoice emailed back for a confirmation. Did as I was asked, then they decided that they wanted to omit 2 items off the order, which I waived even though we do have a 15% restocking charge. Then they emailed me again after the invoice was resent their way and wanted to cancel another 10 pillars which are custom and have been made 2 weeks prior on top of 12 pillars that they just added to this order 4 days earlier. I was just livid when that happened so I emailed back and told them that considering those pillars are custom, they will be charged a 15% restocking charge. What do they do next???? They decide to take the original 10 pillars but now want to cancel the 12 they just ordered because they don't want to pay the restocking charge...DUUUUHHHHHHHHHHH! Ok, didn't want to explain that the restocking charge still applies regardless if they take the 1st batch or the second batch. Just figured that some $$$ is better than no $$$ at this point plus this order has not been confirmed or shipped for 1 month. Re-submitted the new invoice with all the box changes in weight, dimensions, repacked everything again for the 3rd time. Finally, they decide to send the cheque, but they sent it for the original amount with the 1st 10 pillars. I cash the cheque (there's a 3 day grace period with the banks), submit a refund (company cheque) back to them and ship everything out 5 days later. Open up my account on the 6th day and BINGO...their cheque has bounced and I'm out product and a refund cheque. I immediately call the bank, put a stop payment on the cheque and call the customer informing them that their cheque bounced. All I got was "Oh WOW, really, the cheque bounced? I guess that was my fault!" No Sorry and nothing about sending out a new cheque immediately. Told them that they have to resubmit the cheque with a $25 NSF fee on top of the total cost. This is a company that I have dealt with for 10 months and have had to wait over 45 days each time for payment because they don't know how to manage their $$$ and they obviously perform poor business ethics with their wholesalers. We're hoping to get paid shortly and if we don't see payment within 2 weeks, we will get the creditors involved. Pretty sad isn't it. It is totally unbelievable how retailers (of all people) try to shaft wholesalers around all the time. I don't understand how they can stay in business and if you don't have money...DON'T BUY!!!!!

Just Scent has a Perfect Pear that will blow your socks off.

Hi Sharon, I never put my order through PayPal, I actually emailed her the 1st time as one of the oils I wanted wouldn't go through her shopping cart. She confirmed my email stating she would have it packed up and send me an invoice through PayPal and ship it right out. Never heard from her again even after emailing her a couple more times. I'll try calling and see what happens. Thanks for your info.

I would really like you to put an order through to them and let me know through a PM if she (Lynda) gets back to you and actually invoices and ships your order as I haven't heard anything from her from PayPal or if my order is being shipped. If that is the case, I will phone her instead of emailing. The oils that she carries are really nice and work incredible in soy, but just wanted to know if she's packing the business in and I was left hanging.

Her name is Lynda and I'm surprised this has happened also. She obviously has the info and did contact me through email and said she was going to package it up and ship it out than invoice me through PayPal, but never heard anything after that. Just seems odd so I thought I would mention it here and see if anybody that knows this business could shed some light on the situation.

Yeah...they take your order but never bill you, send out your product and never respond to your emails.

Anybody deal with Fragrance Oil Central. They took over for A Scent Shop and when you want to order their oils, they email you confirming they received your order and they will invoice you through PayPal and they than fall off the face of the earth. I placed an order over a month ago, got confirmation, they never took anything out of PayPal and now they don't respond to emails. What's up with that? Are they still doing business?

Thank You!

Cranberry orange spice or twiggs & berries. Sorry...had to put (2) in.

Daystar has an incredible AJ&P.
