I plan on placing an order with them soon, and was wondering everyones must haves from them. Ive never ordered from them before so any advice is helpful. Oh and Im using 100% soy THANKS

Can anyone recommend one that smells like pumpkin NOT SPICE. I have several requests for a STRAIGHT PUMPKIN no spices but I havent found any

They have my poinsettia F.O. and since they're the only one I have found to carry it except RA I figured Id give it a try and was wondering if anyone had any other recommendations? Thanks http://www.lilyladyscreations.com

I 2nd Peaks

I usually buy mine at AAA but didnt know if there was a cheaper place to buy lye? I cant buy in bulk right now since Im tight on money but Im out and need more Thanks

I dont want to order from RA right now so im looking for this scent and havent found it. Any help would be appreciated.

I just poured ICS candy corn OOB I think it smells GREAT so now I have to wait and test

Hope this helps http://www.candletech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49806&highlight=peaks+discount

I would really like to try to make shampoo for myself since I am getting really displeased with every product I have tried. I would like it to aid in dry scalp, but hey I dont want to be picky Ill take any help I can get. most of the recipes I have found all say BASE I want to make it from SCRATCH. Any help????? Thanks

LOL no I didnt see bacon unless it was added after my order. I just figured they were interesting so I had to order them to try. Even if nothing else I figured the dill one would be a good gag gift

It all depends on what your looking for. Shipping will for the most part always be about $9.00 unless you buy in larger amounts. If you buy samples its best to but A LOT of samples at once to save on shipping. Most companies start out at a base rate and then it goes by weight. I would either keep my eye out for companies with their sampler sales or start buying larger amounts. It seems I always find a use for a F.O. or if I absolutely dread it I sell it. Just my opinion though. Hope these sites help. I dont know where you are located in Michigan but this site helped me when I lived in Garden city, MI. There are some really good suppliers close by For MI. http://www.suppliersbystate.com/state-listings.php?st=MI For OH. http://www.suppliersbystate.com/state-listings.php?st=OH

Oh yeah couldnt pass that up LOL I just placed my order for Dill Pickle, fireside, pizza, beer conc., holiday bayberry, juniper and orange clove

Oh I LOVE JUST SCENT!!!!! Becky has really great f.o.'s and customer service, not to mention it always seems to be SUPER FAST shipping! I use 100% soy and every f.o. I have used from there has been GREAT. Bakery Scents: cinnamon buns (yummmmmm so good but not B & B safe) white cake (my biggest seller, it makes you want to eat it LOL) baked apple pie (not B & B safe) chestnuts and brown sugar (OMG ) Others: Vanilla Patchouli cinderellas slipper dizzie dame

I get mine from ICS and to me its a dead on dupe Never tried MMS though.

Any suggestions are welcome Im just looking for that TRUE scent that you smell when you first bring your tree home. All the ones I keep finding have Christmas spices in it Thanks again Oh Im also working with 100% soy and am looking for B & B safe as well

I was thinking about ordering this but was curious as to what others think? Im using 100% soy Thanks again

Thanks everyone! Right now my (I should have listed them earlier) I have: CandleScience: Cranberry Marmalade Jack Frost Mistletoe Apple & clover JustScent: Chestnuts & Brown Sugar BrighterScents: Mulberry Christmas Cheer Splendor of Christmas BCN: Home For the Holidays Just looking to add on more scents, everyone's given great feedback and of course since there's a f.o. addiction I'm always looking for more.

Thats not a problem. It seems everyone on there understands that shipping cost have went up and that you have to cover the cost of shipping material. The only thing that gets to people is when you charge $5.00 for shipping and it cost $2.00. What I usually do before I even put in a shipping price is box it up and then pick a zip for one of the states that is furthest from me and get that quote off USPS.com that way my shipping cost is pretty close if not exact

Yes you can, its posted along with your ad. Thats why with some items its better to pick a higher shipping price and tell them youll refund the over payment if there is one. There is no set shipping from ETSY you have to enter your shipping price. After a while you know what the cost will be kinda like my tea lights for 6 of them in an envelope it cost $2.16 to ship unless its out of states.

I found this.....help any LOL http://www.scentforum.com/search-fragrance-oil.php

winter candy apple? That sounds good who makes that

I"m trying to find some good fall/winter scents....obviously Halloween and xmas specials too ) Ive been checking all the suppliers and different scents and am over whelmed LOL also Im looking for them to be B & B safe. Soooooo Lets hear everyones suggestions and suppliers:yay: Oh and im working with 100% soy

Ya with ebay its pointless in my opinion with all the fees they charge. As to the shipping you dont have to put a shipping price on there I believe dont hold me to that but im pretty sure some of the sellers I have talked to didnt put one because some items vary. I know for shipping outside the us and canada I put ask for quote in description. Alot of items are pretty standard shipping though and you end up getting a feel for the price. Also if nothing else you can charge a little more than you think and put in the notes that youd return the excess amount. The only problem I've read with that is that it turns some people away not having a shipping price to see when considering the items. As to the forums THERE'S TONS!!!!! Very addicting (like this one LOL) but you can also join street teams as well that help promote each other, and theres a treasury spot to showcase favorite sellers items NOTE: You can add one of your items its about 1/2 and 1/2 some frown upon you adding your items the other half dont care but they see it rude to promote more then one of yours. Your able to pick 12? I believe and it can be themed or not, but it helps with exposure because if you pick 11 peoples items to show MOST will take a peek at your shop as well Also it seems the more items you have the better the sales, bigger variety I guess, but when I had 10 listed I didnt do so well but after I added more it picked up and so far I've been pleased Just my opinion

I have a shop on etsy, and right now thats all I have since so many people have told me that they have their own website and havent sold much or that they even closed their website since sales have been better on etsy. It took me about 1 month to get my first sale but after that I've done great. Now I did have to go into the forums and post some of my listings every so often to get recognized but after I sold some items it picked up and I have tons of return customers. The listing fee isnt bad. Ya its $.20 but its for like 6 months! Opposed to ebay which kills you on fees. Etsy even allows 5 free pictures and puts it in the gallery at no cost, ebay even charges you for that. Once again, its just my opinion but I LOVE ETSY. Its easy to maintain, cheap, and for a listing that doesnt expire in a week.

Id have to say Just Scent, they also have vanilla patchouli and thats a big seller for me as well
