  1. I carry them. How many do you want?
  2. The local historical socierty called today and wanted to see if I would like to demonstrate candle dipping at their Heritage Festival. ANyone ever do something like this? Everything I have is electric :undecided
  3. irvins in aboutthe only one, however they are starting to import a lot now, so it wont be for long until they are imported you can also try mindys tartwarmers
  4. Mine just took a crap!!! THis is my 3rd brother only cause i hated to waste the ink. I just purchased $150 worth of ink this week, only to find out its broken and wasnt out of ink at all!! And it is 2 weeks out of warranty!
  5. I have a brother HL 4040 CDN Hate it! I clean and clean the rollers and still spots over all my labels. It so slow to start out printing too. Takes about a minute to print out a letter.
  6. I stopped at a YC store this week and smelled them..AWFUL!! I was with a guy and he didnt like them either, he went straight to the fruity stuff.
  7. There are a thousand different parameters you have to guage against. Whether the store sells it or promotes it to them just forgetting you and moving on to another line to having the next best thing or the same thing everyone esle carries. We have customers ranging from $100/yr to tens of thousands/yr. It really depends, and is not something you can guage. There are a thousand candle companies out there wholesalinthat cant make it while the next one thrives. Its all about what you got and your price point.
  8. i would do the craft show, I never had any luck at conferences.
  9. thanks david..but i need one....too many employees and hands in the til.
  10. What do you use? I want something reasonably priced that can do basic inventory and create and scan barcodes..
  11. would be interesting to take a whole bunch of made in china crap and see if you got in ... problem is most of them wouldnt know whats made in a factory vs handmade. I would jsut take what you are going to sell.
  12. thats why I no longer ship USPS, they do not guarantee their shipping times. With all the post offices closing around the country, im sure they will become extended even more.
  13. i also post what i am pouring that day, and shows coming up, etc..
  14. look awesome!!! i wish i had time to try those, i wouldnt have the patience LOL
  15. sounds like an alternative band name..i dont get it, and based on the name I wouldnt even look at what you have.. ..imo i would choose something else. how about making that name your signature scent?
  16. I just bought the LX900 too, for some reason, i cant get any labels to print correctly. nothing seems to line up right, and they are all off center are you using the nicelabel program?
  17. I sell them , but dont carry that one. I may be able to get one for you though next week.
  18. truth is, most likely you will never collect, especially if she is out of state. send her a certified letter, which is what you will need to do first, then threaten legal action, maybe she will give in
  19. I went to mail a package the other day..PO closed at 430, I got there at 425, just in time, I thought. I took the package to the desk...she gave me a nasty look and said..we close in 5 minutes! Um yeah,...i just made it. She was rude to me the entire time. Im kind of glad most of them are losing their jobs, they did it to themselves. The nice employees will find other jobs
  20. We dont do consignment either..had a store owner ask me recently here in town...i just laughed..um no....maybe its becuase you steal everyones money and owe all your vendors $$$$$, including me!! She has been in business for over 15 years. Not sure how she stays in business (well i do know why..."snickers" ) But you need to really check refrences I think , talk to the other consigners they had and have now. Basically, do a reference check. You would be surprised how many scams and stealing is out there by business owners, its pathetic and sad. Crazzie, if you dont hear back, maybe make a call to the district attorney and have them make a courtesy call, it has worked for me in the past
  21. im from Pa also, so i can share some insight. The courthouse wont give or tell you anything. You will have to check with your local township/city on zoning for your business. You will have to file a PA 100 with the state. PA 100 questionare will help you with most of your licenses you will need. You will also need a fictious name license as well. ALso, you will need to check with your insurance company for liability. You are better off calling you local chamber of commerce or local economic develpment office to get some insight.
  22. ive done more damage to myself doing paperwork then making candles...darn papercuts anyway :cry2:
  23. I seen rewined candles display in atlanta. Was really neat line of candles. Everything was wine scented. Reusing wine bottles has been a big trend.
  24. my candle is still stuck in my pvc pipe...cardboard tubes might work
