leisa2003 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Whats everyones thoughts on this? Curious because she's sold in the past twice before this and closed down her supplier business without much notice to her customers. www.fpfragranceoils.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisymay66 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 So she had this one oil I totally love..wonder if she'll have it back! I would be sooooooo happy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshine Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I have never purchased from them before but just from my experience with having a lot of my product from MW....I will not buy from suppliers that keep closing and re- popping up ever again- that was hell to find and test replacements- thankfully FB has the majority of them and pure fragrance oils is trying to stock them but they are limited in what they have I kept select few and moved on in finding others from companies that have been around- not to say it can't happen to them but I will not change it- besides they only have a handful of oils looks like 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshine Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 That was supposed to be- I will not chance it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leisa2003 Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) She did have a few that I loved that I couldn't find ever again when she closed. I know ICS took over SOME of the Snowtop oils she sold way back when, but even those slowly went from ICS. I wont buy from FP for supplies even as good as they were back then just because of the Snowtop business and the Miami Erie business she closed and without much notice. And YES,..I LOVE Fragrancebuddy...I have been ordering the MW oils too!!!!! <3 Edited November 21, 2014 by leisa2003 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcuset Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Don't know. I think alot of us are very leary of the same thing happening again. She had some great oils, no question of that. Lots of great suppliers out there though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravens Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 They carried a FO I liked very much, but after the MW's burn - no more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorelei Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I loved her oils and tartwax but it left me in a huge bind! I do have to take a look, what fragrances couldn't you live without? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kandlekrazy Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 If you love oil from them buy it. Supplier close every year, it's really a bummer for us but with this boards tremendous help we are almost always able to replace a fo from aclosed supplier (unless it's their own special blend). I've gotten to the point where I tell my customers that a fragrance I can no longer get was a short term promotional scent andis no longer available. Try not to beat up the little guys that are trying to make a go of it. No, I don't sell supplies, but I am a small business owner who knows just how hard it is.

leisa2003 Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 (edited) Kandle Krazy We are not beating up the "little guy". Its our personal preference. I don't feel that a supplier is "professionally loyal" to her customers when before she closed she sold particular wax and then without any notice, the wax went "poof" from her website and so afterwards the owner makes a post apologizing while she continue to sell oils, then without much notice closed her business. And your right, business' do close but most don't return and repeat that same business practice twice either and then return for a third time. Naaaa, to many solid suppliers out there. JMO!

moonshine Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 IMO- a professional business will let their customers know that they are struggling and will be having to close - this gives their following an opportunity to start finding replacements and stock up on what they have left....not leaving them high and dryIf it happens once that is totally different and different circumstances can happen but individuals that have made a "habit" of this I do not respect and will not purchase from Suppliers that sell their business is different because the product will still be made available....if it's a supplier that can afford to stock all inventory and not have to do pre-buys and hope they reach minimums to get your product Small business is hard and I don't place blame on people trying to start over but it's how they end it that makes all the difference to me as to who I will continue purchasing from 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
