I just ordered from ICS and they are super cheap compared to some other suppliers I use. I'm a bit disappointed in some I just bought off etsy, out of 10 maybe 4 are good. Just hate wasting money on FO's if they aren't going to be good.

What do you guys do for costs of FO that are different? Obviously with different suppliers costs are different. Do you just average it out overall or do it individually?

Mine were all fairly cheap so the 10 packs did not save me anything. So, I just ordered the ones I wanted.

Here is my final list. Load up on the insulin...

1. Blackberry

2. Cinnamon Strudel

3. Frosted Sugar Cookie

4. Gourmet Sugar Cookie

5. Pie Crust

6. Birthday Cake

7. Holiday Cookie

8. Toasted Marshmallow

9. Sugared Vanilla Shortbread

10. Vanilla Cake Pops

11. White Cake

12. Cinnamon Buns Original (have also had this one before)

13. Cinnamon Buns new

14. Hillbilly Homebrew

15. Spice

16. Sugar Cookie Dough

17. Pizzelle

18. Bananas Foster

Digging up an old thread but Justajesuschick what were your results? I'm looking to place an order with ICS and have a few in mind.

I got my order from SOS and the sticks are perfect. I had to buy 10,000 of them Cause I am doing a lot of shows this year.

Dolphin thanks for the info. I can't wait to get my kit.

Can you let me know how those are? I just got my order from Wellington. Love the super fast shipping but I am thinking they buy their incense sticks from the same supplier as Madina. Went through a bundle of 100 and threw a few away. Not as many as Madina's though but a few.

Yeah I will I just ordered on thursday but they haven't shipped them yet. I'm surprised there isn't more suppliers.

Has anyone ordered from them lately? I played an order on the 22nd and have yet to receive any shipping information. I emailed them yesterday but no response. I've ordered from them once in August and they shipped quickly. I know it's sorta the holiday season but I'm a little antsy since I ordered a warmer for a gift basket I'm putting together for a chinese auction that's in 2 weeks.

The last incense sticks I ordered were from Madina and they were horrible. I ended up throwing 1/4 of them away. They were cheap and I guess you get what you pay for. I just ordered a small batch from Wellington yesterday to see what they are like. I will let you know.

PCbrook thanks please let me know how they are.

I just ordered the starter pack from SOS.

I made about 10 packs of 20 incense Just to try out at a show I did over the weekend Well I sold them all. I use the wooden sticks. My customers like them better. I use FO"S from JS, CS, Peaks and NG and SOS

Thanks Dolphin where do you get your sticks from?

Possibly looking to add to my line.

Did some research and have some good instructions.

Curious to the people that make it, what are some good suppliers?

How well does it sell for you?

What is the preferable stick charcoal or wooden?

I don't think it's the economy as it's picked up in the recent years. It could be the flood of candles and melts in stores now that are cheaper than most handmade products. I hope things pick up for you.

I want to place an order and wondered if any of you have any recommendations for fo's. Also I'm waiting for a reply from them but does anyone know their 4 or 8 oz price?

I am surprised that your palm wax leaves any residue! All of my dishes have rims, ledges and such. I either pour out warm or I use a Pampered Chef nylon scraper to pop an edge and I just wipe the rest out with a paper towel.

It doesn't that was my husband cleaning it out with a multi tool and he didn't wipe it down, I didn't actually clean it out before the pic.

Yeah the hat comes off and I've tried the freezer which always works but the lip underneath holds the wax in there. I guess maybe I'll just have to pour out the wax when it's hot.

So I bought this cute little snowman warmer from a coworker who was selling stuff for his daughter. I didn't even notice this until I went to take out the wax but it has a lip on the bottom that holds the wax in unless I dig it out. See pics attached. Any solutions? I really wanna use it, it's so cute

Since I started selling I got a few orders of 1 and 2 tarts in ellipso cups. Small orders are good but I mail in padded envelops and the cost for 1 envelop for 1 or 2 tarts is hard to put into the shipping price. What else if anything is cheaper to ship in?

The creepy thing about this was her "about page" was almost exactly like yours word for word, including the My name is ..... and I'm a mother of 3 boys. It's pretty much like she copied and pasted everything. I don't know anything about copyright laws but I'd look into it if you can see if you can copyright or trademark your stuff.

I believe this person of "southern scent shop" posted here recently. I would contact etsy.

I had one of their candles a long time ago. It was good that I can remember. I've seen them around Ohio when I was living there and that was at least 6 years ago so I think they've been around a while.

I made a lovely scent list on my computer and when I pasted to Facebook, all the formatting was gone! I had to spend half as long re-adding spaces as I did writing the darn thing.

Does anyone else have this issue? Had I known, I would have just written IN facebook and copied/edited details (colours, font) on my computer after. LAME!

I would format in something like notepad first in windows then copy it to facebook. it's a basic format so i would think facebook wouldn't screw it all up.

So I would love to use all the wasted wax that I have, which is a good amount, to make some firestarters. I don't have a fireplace nor know anyone who does. How can I go about testing?

Good Luck, hope the weatherman is wrong and it doesn't rain!

Thank You again everyone. Tomorrow I'm going to start sharing my facebook page and advertising some of my melts on there. I may also put some stuff up on etsy just to see how that is.

Candybee do you know a good base that is good for sensitive skin? I'm really leaning on trying peak's bases since I already use them for wax and FO.

What are sfic bases?
