  1. I just bought 96lbs of melt & pour soap there 10 minutes ago and forgot to uncheck the charitable donation...I bought the 24 lb blocks..I believe I paid something like $57.48 per 24 lb blocks...Free shipping...I haven't ordered base in at least a year. I've tried other companies base but I like wsp's ultra white the best...I have to go thru the desktop emails to see how long the free shipping is for...I've been out of the loop for so long it didn't seem high to me...with free shipping I might as well order another 48 lbs. I haven't checked other places but is the price I paid that steep?

    sounds like a good deal to me..

    As far as them changing prices..I thought it was ok at first since you could go thru and each day the pricing is changing to my understanding..Just as a live market or ups and downs of a stock market.So some days will be up and the next day it may be very cheap.

    Some items were $2.04 for 2 ozs.and so on..and that included the shipping.So thats a pretty good deal.Some may not be so much..but next day may be better..I think her intentions were to save us money this time.But dont like that she raised the minimum to $30.00.and no discount for pick ups either.So its kind of like giveth and taketh away.

  2. Is Southwest a brand new company or has it been around and I just didn't know about it? Just wondering if it's a reputable company...

    I think it has been around for a little while..Just mainly locals probably knew of it.

    But she actually worked for JBN about 4years ago.And has made arrangements with them to buy the oils.She was a really nice lady..Seemed like she wanted to please and do what she can to get more business.

    Her #is on the site.To find out more info.Im so happy to get the Tuscan Patchouli.She is gonna send a sample out to make sure she has the right one..When she gets it.Im so glad.:):yay:

    She said she didnt know why they shut down other then just tired of doing it.

    I would guess there is more to the story then that though.

    I dont think it we get a chance,to get some companies to try and dupe the oil though..Just in case.any problems arrise in the future we have back up.lol

  3. they did shut down..There is a company that is taking alot of their oils.And supplies..She said that she used to work with that company about 4years ago.

    Her Name is Janice..She has a website and her store.Its

    SouthwesternCandleandSupplies.com

    Anyways she also has another page on facebook now.When you go to the JBN website,it takes you to hers now.And she has some of these oils on hers already.And is working on the Tuscan Patchouli..She is gonna send out a sample to make sure its the same when she gets it.

    But hopefully this will help.I agree it really sucks that they did this to people.

    And I can do without most of the oils..But the Tuscan Patchouli,just cannot find anyone else selling it.HTH

  4. Ok I just got off the phone with them.

    And the lady use to work with the JBN company for 4years ago..And she is buying most all of the oils that just by nature had and most of their supplies and such.She is close to the same location..

    I told her what we were wanting..with the oils and such..And she is working on getting the tuscan patchouli for us..And will test it when she does.Also,she has the coconut and the graham crackers one that was from JBN..on her site she said.which I checked and it does have it.Also she has waxes and other items..Nice site..Nice lady..I told her that JBN just left everyone up in aww no

    notice or warning that they were shutting down.

    HTH.Atleast we have some hope .

    yeah,she is on facebook as well.

  5. Here is something weird I just found..

    I went to twitter..and it pulls up the last twitters they had.And when you click on their website link.It goes to this

    http://southwestcandlesupply.com/

    So I wonder if this is there new website?Its out of Mesquite Tx.

    I dont however see the tuscan patchouli.Maybe it hasnt been added yet?

    But has the coconut etc.:confused:

  6. I know this post is a little dated..

    But has anyone heard anything else about JBN?Or if someone else bought their oils if they are shutting down?I am with Amber..the Tuscan Patchouli has such a nice unique like scent..Its a one of a kind..I loved it just for myself..Wished I would have ordered more if i knew they were going out of business.But not out of business sales ..nothing.

    I wished atleast someone else could buy the formula..if they dont plan to open back up.

    Does anyone have a # or email add.they can send me for them..just for grins and see what happens.:)

  7. I was just reading on another forum ..And it was saying that Rhonda use to be the owner of flickers..So,I am guessing that is the connection there.I never knew that,lol.

    But I dont think the patch rasp.that aroma haven has smells as similar to moonworks brand.Its not bad..But I would really prefer the moonworks one by a landslide..

  8. Hi I made some tarts in portion cups with the joywax and the scent throw is very good. Is there some other wax I can mix with this just to harden it up a little,,I was thinking ecosoya PB :confused:

    any palm wax will work ..bees wax..

  9. Well, they were sold by Moonworks until recently. Moonworks is the original Flickers. THose scents are still listed on the Moonworks site too. Maybe Rhonda is going to start selling them again.

    I sure hope so.I just ordered some myself.. I love anything with patchouil and I know the patchouli raspberry was awesome..

    I hope Rhonda does..She mentioned about getting alot of oils stocked and staying stocked and trying other oils to add like bakery and foods etc..

    I hope she will see this and consider carrying these again too.

  10. i didnt seem to have a problem with his oils when i bought..There were some good ones..cedar patchouli,powdered sugar..and rice milk and honey ( i think that was the name)But I did have a problem with his professionalism..I had called to place an order..and he answered from a bar ..said he had a few drinks..and his gf said she was preg.and trying to find something to write my cc # down on.That was really scarey to me..Needless to say,when i did get the order..I was short one..and called to tell him and he said he double counted and they checked before it was sent..And never would clear it up..and send my other.So,that scared me away.It was sad..Because I think he is his own worst enemy..The oils.never seemed diluted to me.Just bad service..And I really liked the powdered sugar..wished I had more and the rice milk and honey.

  11. No we (Aztec) are not being sold or changing ownership. We did purchase Missy back in 2004 (I believe that was the year) and have now been in business for 28 year and are IGI's largest distributor!

    Thought I would clear that up.

    yes? You sounds as if you know them?I dont care honestly were they take over it was a general question..I can do with or without.lol

    But ok..You have a good day to Jon:)

  13. patchouli with chocolate and amber is nice..Also..with a fruit scent.
