This irks me! Guess what? That's what we do as candle makers too! We front the money for the supplies, we are guessing at what our customers will buy, we have our money sitting in oils, supplies and finished product. It's all part of being in business. We can't continue to raise our prices, so we eat it. And then, when something like this comes along, we are faced with making a decision, to either eat it or look elsewhere. Sooner or later, you have to look elsewhere, because the other alternative is to do what we hope we will never have to do, close our business! I love Stacy's oils, but to be honest, they are on the expensive side and I will really have to work the numbers to continue carrying her oils or look elsewhere.
