Plug for Columbus Foods...

[Gypsyjen]

I just wanted to tell you guys, that not only does Columbus Foods have the lowest price per pound for soaping oils & butters, but I placed an order with them two hours ago and ALREADY have my UPS shipping notification tracking number! These guys work FAST!!!

You are officially NOT allowed to talk about being able to drive there!! OMG... green with envy here. LOL.

I fifth (did someone fourth) CF. They rock. *getdown*

I have not personally ordered from them before, because it's cheaper on the shipping for me to get from a place nearer, but I have heard a lot of good things about them.

Those who live near to them are lucky - they have a very large selection of ingredients.

Sara - when is your pig coming back?

Ooooohhh, I am very, very jealous! The only thing right by me is sunshine container.......

I love Columbus! I once emailed them with a question about larger orders/cheaper shipping. All I expected was a quote but Mike actually called me to talk to me about my options! Their product quality and fast shipping are fabulous, but their customer service is just overwhelmingly good.

:highfive: to Mike at Soaper's Choice!!

I order from them also , their prices are good and their shipping is not bad.

Mary, I don't know if they have a store front, but you can place an order online and go to their warehouse to pick it up. Lucky You!!

I placed my first order with them a short time ago. I like the fact I can mail them a check instead of having to do a credit card!

Very happy to hear all the good things about them. :smiley2:

I was just wondering how long shipping takes..actually with shipping their prices are WAAY cheaper than buying things here and there(which is what I was doing) and also the time and gas to go around and buy stuff.

I couldnt get 50 pounds of coconut oil from anywhere local.So,really with shipping it was still WAAY cheaper.

I hate paying shipping too but putting that into the price of oils its totally not bad..I do wish I lived closer to them..and heck,I'd just love to see how a drum of coconut oil looks..WOW!!

Mike has been in this industry for a long time and has always gone above and beyond in way of assistance and top notch customer service. He knows his stuff and is always a wealth of information. Additionally, Columbus foods and Mike have always been very generous in their support of soapers and their gatherings and soap making events.

I live in Indiana. I ordered on the 17, got notice on 17th and got my order today 18th. I couldn't believe it.

[kingfisher]

I am so jealous of you that can go and pick up from there. the shipping doesn't work for me, but sometime when I'm somewhere in the continental US for a week or so I really need to make an order. their prices cannot be beat! and I've looked!!!

[IndulgentCreations]

Yes they are awesome! I usually have my order the next day but I'm close. My next order I'm looking at ordering more than I used to (300-400lbs) so I may go pick it up depending on the price of shipping. I'm about an hour and a half to 2 hours away.

[Scent Cellar]

I am pretty close also and get next day delivery. I order a couple hundred pounds at one time but it's worth it to me to have it delivered UPS as my UPS guy carries each box to my storage area.

I live on the west coast..and I have found that if I buy 6 ..1 gal. sizes..

the shipping is less expensive than some of the suppliers that are on the west coast...and they are cheaper on their oils too...

I also talked to Mike and he told me to try to buy in quanities of six..because they have a box for six 7lb. jugs....and the shipping is really reasonable..

[Scent Cellar]

6 7# jugs of babassu would be nice and would fit in that box just great.

[Christy Doc Holley]

i think i placed my order on thursday and it will be here monday

[Just Julia]

They are very quick and professional! I ordered quite a bit of oils on Monday and they were at my front door on Tuesday afternoon.

Their oil are very fresh too.

My favorite supplier, by far. When I first heard about them I was needing to melt down larger quantities of shea butter. I called and got Mike on the phone. He talked to me a long time, giving me some very valuable tips. Besides incredible customer service, great prices. We have been ordering a couple of years now, and couldn't be happier. Very, very quick turn around, and very reasonable. High quality, can't be beat, I don't even intend to try.

We decided first order to pick it up instead of paying shipping. First and last time. It is downtown Chicago, . We are in Iowa, and the shipping is very reasonable.
