Relatively new to candle making and just moved from Alabama to Texas - had been getting supplies from Community Candle in Birmingham and CandleScience in NC when I was visiting family (picking up from each to avoid shipping costs)
Now I'm trying to figure out whether I'm better off sticking with what I knew from my original suppliers and paying for the shipping or switching to a local supplier (Lonestar, Southwest, and AAA Candle Supply are all within a 30 min drive)? Or alternatively, do I try to purchase heavy/bulky items like jars and wax locally and keep my favorite FO from my original suppliers?
So, here are my questions: (1) How does everyone save on (or justify!) shipping costs and (2) How many total suppliers do you have for various items to minimize redundant shipping costs and maximize quality supplies?

I used Labels By The Sheet for a while, but had spotty quality. I requested a sample from WorldLabel.com and they were the best I've used so far! They don't come in small quantities, but their customer service team sent me a few sheets to test for free! I buy the laser print ones and take them to FedEx - unfortunately there's always some sort of issue with margins or not printing in alignment with the cut label, so I too am looking for a better solution, but it works for now!
