wthomas57 Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 wow... just checked out their site, thanks for the link. I was surprised to see the amount of waxes they carry. Many of what I use they have as well. Interesting... And you haven't had issues with the quality of consistency in the wax? I guess I am wondering... where do they get it ya know? I'd like to try them but bit nervous about their quality and their quality control. They are about 10-20% on their wax prices it seems but still save more then having to pay for shipping elsewhere.

justajesuschick Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Only after breaking down a couple of cases of the wax did I notice that the slab paraffin has a manufacture date which is a few years old. Makes me nervous but I have read that paraffin has an indefinite shelf life. It certainly seems no different than previous cases of the same wax which I store in big Rubbermaid bins. One bin is now full of the wax I picked up yesterday but the other bin is now a combination of the wax I picked up yesterday and the wax I had in use. Hope that I have no issues. Especially now that I commingled them before seeing the manufacture date. My order is not shipped there from Illinois to fulfill my order. They must keep my wax on hand. Once I place the online order, I call and can arrange pick up right away if if works for me and them. I'll continue to order from them unless some issue arises. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main facility in Illinois runs more like a typical wax supplier. Yes, the wax price is a bit higher but it is still far less than paying for shipping. I was paying $125 or more in shipping each order. My boxes are also in better shape. My cases that come to my door are typically dirty, broken in some way and wax is falling out of the corners. I wish the wax I picked up was manufactured more recently but I read and read last night about paraffin wax and unlimited shelf life. The consistency is exactly the same and the packaging is exactly the same as what I have gotten for years from Peak and Candle Science.

wthomas57 Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 good to know. I think the fact that boxes are in better ship without wax seeping out or getting weathered may be enough of a selling point for me. I sure we in the midwest had more close options though!

justajesuschick Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Yes, these last 3 cases have not required me to dig cardboard out of the wax before using. I wish we had a full wax supplier, like a Peak, NG or Candle Science where we could pick up things, smell new fragrances and really have a resource beyond a distributor. May have to just be happy with this if it continues to work out for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You start one and i will be your first customer! In addition to my now nearly full time wax business, I have a 30 year career with that "little" Greeting Card company here in Kansas City. Consider me at or past capacity! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a 1 year old? You should have plenty of time, money and sleep-hahaha!! Too bad. I'd buy plenty of wax from you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wthomas57 Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 yep just turned 1 couple weeks ago. He also has two older brothes in grade school. So yes... busy busy. But its also why I do this. Its something I can involve them in little by little as they get older. Nice family business ya know. Its enjoyable and they can learn a lot about math, science, business, and so on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping they'd stock stearic because I don't want to pay shipping now lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
