  1. (CSN 12) I tried a few UK suppliers, but I think because of the new VAT regulations they have stopped exporting to the US because the check out screen informed me they can't ship to my state. Does anyone know a supplier that is willing to ship to the US? Or even a site I should try? I love these wicks and hate the idea of starting over I would be buying a few thousand, so hopefully the order is large enough to get it done. And if you want to get in on the bulk order, let me know!
  2. I received my last batch of 464 from Candlescience and the box looked like it got jumped by 10 other boxes in the UPS truck. I sort of knew the contents might be compromised but I have candles to make! So i chanced it and filled my wax melter and sure enough there was a lot of dirt and cardboard bits floating around. Way too many to try and use the wax so I had to drain and dump it. No fun. I had another box from a previous order that was sealed nicely so after I cleaned out the melter I started over and everything was fine. Used all that up and opened another box from the same delivery as the poor beat up guy. But this box was sealed and looked fine-- so crossing fingers.... Now the pot once again has brown sludge and cardboard. I just cleaned the pot really well one load ago so its not old burned up wax-- this is a fresh pot with a fresh batch. I am starting to feel crazy emailing Candlescience and complaining and although I have been doing this awhile Im wondering could it *possibly* be me? Am I somehow adding dirt to my wax? Anyone else have this experience? I attached an example from the pouring pitcher, my pot has 100x this amount.
  3. Just a thought, but did you recently get this box? The summer humidity has some undesirable effects on wax and 464 can feel wet and hold additional moisture. It looks like its holding some water in the wax -- when you poured was it cloudy or clear? The last 3 boxes I got from Candle Science had to be heated to 210 for a few hours to get the moisture out of it. 😕
