I haven't, but am very small-time (I only do melts) and have a decent amount of wax right now. My supplier has not informed me of any impending increase, but I'll probably stock up again soon just in case and ask when I go. I'm considering raising very slightly just before Spring, but am changing my packaging as well; I'll be profiting the same as now, but hopefully customers see the new packaging as worth it. We'll see..

I have a Cricut and absolutely love it! Bought it when Michael had the whole kit (extra mats & blades, paper, & tools) on sale, but I can't remember what I paid. A friend recently pointed me in the direction of Custom Crops and they're definitely I've ever seen the cartridges anywhere, $40-60 for most. Haven't personally ordered from them yet, but my friend has and didn't have anything bad to say. Otherwise, I just keep an eye out for when Michaels marks them down a bit and just buy then; Don't really have the time to shop around for a better price than that.

I use V-1. Eek, that has the potential to be so messy and/or dangerous.

Mine is in my signature (image is clickable). :smiley2:

The only one of those I've tried is Hot Orange Danish and I love it. :smiley2:

It is a bit late, but I'm pretty certain I made a post the other day asking if anyone had any experience with sending product samples to The Little Black Boxes. I came back today to read any responses but I can't seem to find it. I searched my own username and don't see it, though I'm quite conifident I don't daydream about posting here. Was it deleted? If so, why? I was just looking to hear some firsthand experience with them, as it seems quite legitimate and not a scam. TIA.

Ugh, I have this exact same problem with 1.67" labels, in addition to all the aforementioned ones, ha. I use Label Factory Deluxe (which is built on the Avery Design Pro) and eventually made my own custom label setting and it's a little better, but label printing is still quite the hair-pulling experience.

Ahh, okay, that's definitely not right. Thanks for the reply, I'm always intrigued by legal entanglements over products.

I'm just curious, how were you able to serve her a C&D? Do you have Potato Bag trademarked? I ask because I've seen the same term for this kind of product on other sites (tutorials, as well as selling them).

MMS has them, just scroll past the droppers. I've seen them elsewhere, too, but can't think of where at the moment.

I'm the exact same way. Just wiping them out, I can still smell the FO pretty strong and the thoughts of mingled scents..ehh, especially because right now I only do tarts & small-ish batches. I don't think it makes things any harder for me, though. LOL, no such thought here.

Just to update everyone on the fate of Julie Hoffman, the woman who counterfeited in excess of $250,000 in postage, she was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison.

^Yes, they do, but the new change is not only for odd-shaped items. The new system, Shape Based Pricing, will take the weight & dimensions of all types of packages into account. Here's some useful info: PDF of Rates & Fees / FAQs / In-Depth PDF about the changes Random things: +For example, in First-Class Mail, a 2-ounce letter will cost $0.58; a 2-ounce flat, $0.97; and a 2-ounce parcel, $1.30. +Letters can now only go up to 3.5oz. Heavier and they will be charged the flats (large envelopes) rate. +Priority Flat-Rates: Envelopes - $4.50 Boxes - $9.15 +First Class: The first ounce increases to $0.41, but the additional ounces decrease to $0.17.

Oh my goodness...I just noticed this thread! I use the diamond chips, pretty bummed I have to explore new avenues. Going to be stocking up on these for now, though. ' What a terrible way to end your business, though. :undecided
