beesweet Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I was all set to order sample packs to try the new ones but $18 shipping is too much for me. I believe I'll wait to see what some of the suppliers who offer USPS or Fed Ex get in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe I'll wait to see what some of the suppliers who offer USPS or Fed Ex get in.FedEx does show up in my choice of shipping options but still as high as UPS for my location. I wonder why they don't use the Priority Mail packages like Aztec. Aztec's website says they can get up to twenty 1 oz. bottles in a $5.70 Priority Mail package.

Candybee Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) Because Priority mail ships by air and FOs under 200 FP must ship ground. Not my rules. Fed regs! Those suppliers shipping by priority mail are doing so at their own risk. Edited July 28, 2015 by Candybee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_35550 Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 AH/RE has always had high shipping charges. South Carolina is just a hop from Alabama and it costs more than an order from Australia,, lol. It all works out for the good when you look at the regular prices of the 1 ounce bottles. I bought 20 and hope to actually test them and not have them sit and stare at me everyday. I just can't resist a so-called bargain.

Candybee Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 So what did you end up getting? (Sadly I spent all my money at EBB, FB, and TKB so not getting any new FO samples!) But I do need supplies from AH... how long is the sale? Can I buy something after Wed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-GRAN-ONES Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I think this sale goes thru thur.at 12noon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbenimble Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I refused to purchase this sale because to get the dollar discount you had to purchase the 20 for $20 and I really only wanted to get a few of their newest fragrances plus larger bottles of scents I already use. BTW- if anyone wants a basically full pound of Cuban tobacco FO from AH I'll sell it to you. Cannot get a HT from it in soy. Shame. It's a good scent.

bfroberts Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I received my 40 yesterday, and I hate to say so, but OOB I was a little underwhelmed. I haven't put any in product, and I am hoping to get that done today. I chose a good variety, looking for B&B scents as well as candle scents. Most of my choices were well reviewed, so I am expecting to get a few pleasant surprises when I get them in product. OOB, a few that I am pleased with are Patchouli Rain (a softened patch scent), Woolen Blanket (gives me the warm fuzzies), Strawberry Musk (more strawberry than musk), Passion Melon (strong), Tuscan Fields, Vanilla Sandalwood, Badedas (lovely spa scent), Wine by Candlelight (nice, realistic), Sweet Pumpkin (I really like this pumpkin), Apple Clove Butter (very apple buttery), and Oak Barrel Cider. The Oak Barrel Cider is probably my fave OOB, and I didn't really expect it to be anything special, but it is quite nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darbla Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Isn't this just their normal sample pack that they sell for the same price every day? After I read the info about it that's what it seems. If so, I don't have to rush to get any special deals now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(ends at noon today) It's not available the rest of the year, just only now during the sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Is there a special code at checkout I use or do I just get 20 FOs to get the special price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_35550 Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 Just the 20 for 20, no code. The usual sample packs are for new fragrances or specific sets of fragrances. I wish I had gotten two sets for better sample soap making. I soaped the Purple Sandalwood last night and it is very nice and not too overpowering. There was a little acceleration but my recipe is heavy on tallow and I soaped at a hot temp. The purple morphed on me (damn it) but otherwise the result was good. Hope the scent sticks and doesn't fade. I loved the pumpkin fragrances and most everything else smells strong oob. I' m happy. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Thanks. I ended buying some samples with my regular order but I really didn't find twenty samples I wanted. But here are the ones I got to try out for CP soaping: Awapuhi SeaberryBadedasFlannel SheetsSatsumaSea Salt and Rice FlowerSea Salt and YuzoSucculent Aloe The free samples I picked will probably test in candles:Cranberry SalsaVolcanoApple & Pumpkin Struedel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_35550 Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 I think Badedas is one of the best fragrances (very clean) but couldn't sell it. Satsuma, Cranberry Salsa and Apple/Pumpkin are very nice indeed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't show up once the sale is over. It is on the "Specials" page. Sorry if this has already been answered. HOT thread! Also, if you watch Facebook, they have flash sales for this 20/20 sale. Also had a $15 off $100 order a week ago which would have paid for shipping. GoldieMN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I ended up not buying 20 samples. Just a few to go along with my order so I'm happy. Sale is over now anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
