chrisasst Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Any one use these guys, I can't find any search info on them?http://www.candlesandsupplies.net/They are only 3 hours away from me, so a day trip and/or cheaper shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beckemmons Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I have always been pleased with my orders from them. Except shipping kills me but alas I live in mo. Your lucky to be so close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftsbychris Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I go there since I can drive there. Have been happy. Candlewic is 20 minutes away from there. My drive is about an 1 1/2. I only buy wax and jars from those 2 places. Shipping those heavy items is out of the question for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 (edited) When I make a trip to PA to pick up supplies I stop at CandlesandSupplies (soap supplies & FOs); then on to Candlewic (palm wax and wicks); then to Fillmore Container (jars & more FOs). I just make it a day trip. With one tank of gas it sure beats the heck out of paying for shipping.I use palm wax and its cheaper at Candlewic. But C&S has such a huge selection I'm sure you can find one or two you like. They also have a ton of wicks and lots of glassware. I usually buy my wicks at Candle Science (CSN) or CW (RRDs). I only use soap and lip balm supplies and FOs at C&S. They actually have the best organic lip balm base I have used and I've tried lots of others.One of these days I would like to stop at Backwoods but think its in another section of the state.

Belinda Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Wow Candybee! I thought I had it good being within driving distance of Daystar, Texas Candle Supply, Houston Candle Supply and Bittercreek south! LOL! Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, but the only one that has a showroom or store front is BCS. The others, except HCS don't sell wax or jars, and they don't sell the wax I use. I'm green with envy LOL!If I had only known last July that I was going to be obsessed with FO's and wax I would've stopped at some of these other places while I was in Pennsylvania on vacation! Sigh!

Candybee Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 i'm not that close-- its a 4 hr drive from VA to C&S. So a round trip is 8+ hrs. So I turn it into a day trip. It still saves me a boatload of shipping. While they do have showrooms CW and Fillmore ask that you order ahead. C&S you can just drop in.

Belinda Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I wish Daystar and Texas Candle Supply carried more things. Daystar is only 10 minutes from my house and TCS is about 25. BCS and HCS are about an hour. I've been meaning to plan a trip to Houston to BCS but haven't done that yet. I absolutely hate Houston traffic! HCS is actually a little closer but I don't think they have a show room and to pick up from them at their warehouse you have to order a certain amount and if I'm not mistaken you have to order ahead also.

chrisasst Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 Something to ponder. I order from C&S and Candlescience on the same day. I live in NY, They both arrive on the same day.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angielyn Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I have ordered from candlesandsupplies and never had any problems. I'm only an hour drive and my daughter is only 20 minutes. But, I still have it shipped because it would cost me more in gas to drive lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweety Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I have order from them before order their scent special shipping was ok for 5 2lbs bottle. shipping was quicker then i thought it would be I had to call order in because website wasn't working. I used fedex because on their website it states that the mailman doesn't pick up packages everyday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
