    hmm, if you push "order Now" it takes you to a paypal screen and it says * Includes Shipping & Handling Fees If that is not the case then that is misleading, atleast to me it is..
  2. chrisasst
    well, not when you add in the shipping. If I am reading it right, frontier price included shipping and I will get it in about 1 day.

    I need a votive box that holds 2 votives. I found the ones from frontiercandlepackaging http://www.frontiercandlepackaging.com/Votives.html has any one used these? Are they worth the extra 50 cents I would have to charge? can I find any other boxes any where else or any one have suggestions.. thanks

    WSP shipping for 100 wicks (just example) 9.95 Shipping & Handling: (change)$8.95 Taxes: $0.00 Grand Total: $18.9 Candle Science shipping: USPS Priority Mail (Ships within 24 hrs. Tracking Not Available) $4.80 : $12.75 : Shipping Charge Total Price (with Priority Mail) I guess they don't work for me...

    I test burn 4 hours. I use the 4794 wax with a cd6. What % fo do you use, I use 6%..

    The outrageous shipping charges has, in my opinion, ruined the web sales of candles. Unless any of you have ideas that cut down on shipping.
  9. chrisasst
    Do any of you offer a candle of the month club or similar idea? How do you set it up?
  10. chrisasst
    ok, I usually use Cinnamon Candies from WSP. Red Hot Cinnamon from CS is cheaper, which one smells spicer or are they equal? Can any one help me out here. Is there another one from else where you recommend?
  11. chrisasst
    do you know candlewic has it for $48
  12. chrisasst
    who are these manufactures?
  13. chrisasst
    I do a search for C3 and nothing comes up? anyway, I just started testing this wax, I used 7% fo, I have tried a cd8, resulted in no melt pool. I tried a htp 83, resulted in no pelt pool. I tried a htp 105 this morning and I finally got a small melt pool. I am testing the 8oz jelly jar. Does any one else use this wax in this jar? What wick do you generally use?
  14. chrisasst
    well I tested a couple votives and with a cd6 it burned / tunneled one side only in about 3 hours. so I don't know if I can use this for votives.
  15. chrisasst
    I tried V1 a while back and I could figure it out. Cracked even with the SA in it and major spots.

    Can natures wax P1 be used for votives?
  17. chrisasst
    well I ordered 10 lbs of C3 and 5 lbs of 125 and 5 lbs of P1 while I was there, so I guess I will see which is better. Of course I don't know where to being with the wicks, hopefully it is not to far off from what I am using now.

    I am currently using GB 444 container wax. If I changed to Soy-125 from candlewic or to NatureWax® C-3 will I be disappointed or will I be happier? Has anyone used these waxes have opinions on which one is better?
  19. chrisasst
    I use candle source and / or candle science.

    hi thats awesomw. I used to live in corning, may I ask who did the fundraiser?
  21. chrisasst
    thank you
  22. chrisasst
    Where do you guys get professional looking boxes for jars? The box co-op just quoted me $1.55 for 1200 minimum. I can't really afford that right now. Any place cheaper with no minimums? Do you even use boxes, if not what do you use if anything?
  23. chrisasst
    As far as I remember I have asked 2 price questions (10/17/07 & 11/08/08). I have a pretty good understanding on figuring cost and pricing if I were just selling retail. Fundraising, yep, a whole different world. I see it as volume selling. So I figured if I sell a jar candle even $2.00 above cost, you will still make out good. The fundraiser I was had inquired about involves a middleman as well. This guy goes would buy the candles from me and have the school sell them. So I got to make sure I make money, the school makes money and this middle man makes money.

    so when the kids go around to peoples house they should get the money then. which I agree should happen. Do you guys have a lot of turn downs because of this though?
  25. chrisasst
    Selling this type of jar for $14, is that too much or not enough? I know, I know look at my cost etc....I have . Just curious what is the going price for something like this? Total amount of wax / fo = 12oz Also do I advertise this as a 12 oz jar since I only put 12oz wax in it or a 14 oz jar ( holds 14oz completely full.) :tiptoe:
