There is no New Durham, NC. CS is in Durham, NC. Tennessee Candle Supply is in.... guess? Tennessee. Ky Candle Supply is very close as well. You have Tri-State in W.Virginia. There are too many to mention in Pennsylvania and Ohio. I refuse to buy from Peak Candle (closest to me) so I do a lot of purchasing from that area.

Monkey farts sells because it's named monkey farts. I find, especially to a younger audience, that a bit of a rebellious or unique name will promote a product in ways that the scent alone can't.

I bought one of those that are supposed to center your wick in the jar, not the plus sign ones, the other ones. But, it won't work on the tumbler I use. User error?

Making a sale doesn't make one successful. It is thrilling to feel that rush of a sale, that someone likes something you made. But, that does't make one successful. It is very, very rare to be an overnight success. For most successful businesses, it takes planning, organizing, testing, failing and learning from that failure, practicing, perfecting and time. I don't think anyone is being rude. Anyone who can remember their first sale will pat you on the back and congratulate you. However, when something is done to potentially harm a shaky market you should expect a small amount of harshness. I'm sure that a knee-jerk reaction is to be defensive of your actions, but maybe if you cut through the defensiveness and listened to the advice wrapped in harshness it will make some sense.
