chuck_35550 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I come up with a kick ass soap formula that uses Babassu and Mango Butter. I go to Soaperschoice and lo and behold, out of stock. Both out of stock. I've located alternate providers but the shipping and delivery time is a deal breaker. Please help me to find patience until Soaperschoice restocks?

kandlekrazy Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I'm really getting frustrated with all the items out of stock no matter which supplier I need to order from. What is going on? Sorry, I'm losing patience myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuck_35550 Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 I called them up to see if there might be a stash in the warehouse, nope. They didn't know when the order would come in to the warehouse, so I check everyday. I haven't introduced this soap and have some testers but it's looking good.

chuck_35550 Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 Thank you Barbara. I went ahead and ordered from multiple companies, as it looks like Soaperschoice may not restock any time soon. I'm worried at the shortage of Babassu and Mango Butter. You're a good friend. Wish you would come to the Alabama Soap Association meeting in June at Prattville. Lots of good information and freebies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_35550 Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share Posted April 3, 2017 Back ordered! I finally got some mango butter but no babassu! Give me a break Brazil! I've got a wedding order for this soap and more customers wanting this and can't deliver. Oh woe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 (edited) i checked and found 3 suppliers that have babassu. Camden-Grey looks to have the best price.

chuck_35550 Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share Posted April 3, 2017 Thanks CB, Camden has insane shipping costs. I bought from Bulk Apothecary and then get an email that it's out of stock and not expected for 2-3 weeks. I'm trying to just get over it and be patient but soap orders take cure time.

Jcandleattic Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Soaper's Choice has been out of stock on and off on a ton of items ever since they updated their site. Not sure what's happening with them, but it's kind of irritating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuck_35550 Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 New Directions had the same high shipping Phoenix. I wonder what the deal is with Soapers Choice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_35550 Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 Down to one bar and still no babassu! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) Are these guys out? http://www.bulknaturaloils.com/bulk-babassu-oil-organic but I get that the price is costly, but maybe it changes if you have an acct. It seems to be the less expensive option out there right now ... The Sage indicates it has it too. ... Again the cost, but the sizes are different than other vendors I think.

Scented Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 And maybe, just maybe, because coconut oil, babassu and PKO have similar properties ... not exacts, but close, what about a PKO sub or coconut to replace and superfat the heck out of the soap maybe? Just was thinking about it and hunting for possible babassu replacements, though I personally love babassu in soap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_35550 Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 I could and probably will sub coconut or up the pko. If some of the distributors would list it as out of stock, I wouldn't be on the hook. Although there was an offer to refund, I felt this was my best option. Hopefully, I'm at the top of the list. Thanks for the advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_35550 Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 I've crunched these numbers until I'm blue in the face. Shipping is the usual deal breaker. It usually doubles the cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_35550 Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 Heads up! Soaperschoice has Mango Butter and Babassu Oil in stock! Got my order in and cancelled the back ordered one at Bulk Apothecary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
