"s far as not receiving the 415 you already ordered - from whom did you order it? They have shipping numbers, information, etc. on their website that will tell you when the wax will arrive." I had a "friend" that told me she would send me some to try out so I bought it from her. said she sent it last thursday so im guessing she really didn't. oh well, cut my losses and move along. lesson learned that once again im too trusting "We are NOT going to make purchasing decisions for you. You've been given good advice and opinions. Now you will have to do the research on suppliers near you, waxes they carry, cost plus shipping etc. that everyone else has to do. Sorry, but while advice and opinions can help guide you, you have to do your own homework." I don't recall ever asking a single person to make a purchasing decision for me. And yes I agree that there is some great advice and opinions in this whole forum, I have been reading non stop just this forum since I found it. Prior to this I was researching and reading, watching every video I could get my hands on about soy candles. There aren't many suppliers even in my state, and the shipping costs are about the same from candlescience as the ones here. I am most deff. doing my own homework, I have about a half notebook FULL of notes, ideas, suggestions, tips,ect. that i have not only researched in but then written down. I am not asking anyone for specific formulas to their candlemaking, obviously no one feels that is something they like to share (me on the other hand will share mine when I get it down to help others because when I first started reading up thats what I was trying to find and realized it doesnt exist). I understand ppl invest tons of $, time, energy, sanity, ect. into this and hold their exact ways of doing things pretty secretive, thats fine. all I wanted was suggestions so i dont go and buy $100 worth of crap, as I do have a baby due in december and a 3 year old at home. The last post was what I have decided to do after reading all the helpful hints and tips from others and reading all the other topics relevent. Just thought I would share my gameplan. Anyways, I hope to order this stuff on friday, payday, and Idk how long it will take to get here but maybe by next monday or tuesday ill be actually putting all my notes into use!
