At my age, I've been struggling with the decision about ordering more jars, lids and wax. I haven't been able to wholesale candles for a year or two because of cost but I have a couple retail booths they do great in so I'm working up an order for all three. I still do melts and I'm considering votives. At this point, I'm not interested in shipping but that could change.
I jumped on the palm wax bandwagon but when my current supply is gone, I won't be buying any more for a couple reasons...they never got it in a bag that was under the fifty pound weight and since the shortage in all things palm, I don't see it in stock any where. Thank goodness I'm not in my prime and depending on it. Still, I put a lot of work into testing it and used it in pillars and melts. It was so easy to work with but my customers didn't like it as well in melts so they will be happy to see the old formula back.
I assume WSP has not bought out Lonestar and Aztec yet. As far as I know, for my area, they are the only suppliers left with the assortment of waxes, etc. I need for candles. I'd love to see LS or Aztec get BC but that would be a long shot.
I never saw this coming over twenty years ago but should have.
