lovelyscents Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Just an FYI, Bulk no longer carries IGI wax if anyone purchases from them. They kept stringing customers along saying IGI wax would be back in stock soon, then took it away completely without notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jcandleattic Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Same thing happened with my 5oz apothecary jars. Well, they say they will be back in stock "in 2 weeks" but have been saying that for 6 months, so I am also going to just assume that they are discontinued and will no longer be available. I can't find that size ANYWHERE anymore. Sad because it was a giant best seller size for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I wonder if BA is realizing that candle supplies are a black hole and not a huge moneymaker. Likewise bath bombs are not at their peak any more, so their business model has to change pretty quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovelyscents Posted October 23, 2018 Author Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) At this rate, the handmade market will become limited. So many suppliers closing, raising prices, changing formulas and discontinuing things we need. Keeping up with shipping and all of these issues just makes things so difficult anymore, it's so sad. Nothing against anyone who does direct sales or just buys already made items to stick their label on and sell, but these things I feel will become more common. The craft shows I attend are already filled with these types of sellers. It's one thing that we already put the time and effort into all of this including testing, just to have it ripped from us in terms of availability.

I will have to call them, as it says the lids are included but it doesn't say what type. If they are the bubble lids it's a no go. I use the flat lids, and the flat lids will not fit the jars that originally have the bubble lids. I've made that mistake before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jcandleattic Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 HAHAHA - So, the place I knew I had bought these from before, for some reason I could not get to come up so thought they had gone out of business. 5 pages later in google, I found them - finally - at of all places - The Jar Store. I tried finding that website for weeks. Could never come up for me. Not sure why? ? Maybe a firewall issue with my last computer (my work computer just got restaged on Monday because my old one bit the dust!! LOL) IDK but I'm happy now, so it doesn't matter. LOL I thought for sure I did look for "county comfort" and "country kitchen" jars, as well as "apothecary" jars, but obviously I did NOT. @ScentedPleasurez Thank you so much for your help, it's appreciated, but I did finally find what I was looking for and placed an order. Hopefully they will be here in time for me to make some candles before my next show on the 10th/11th... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jcandleattic Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Just now, ScentedPleasurez said: You are welcome. Glad you found them! Yeah, they are the country kitchen jars from the jar store. But I swear, even not searching for county kitchen jars, I DID try and find the jar store because I've bought from there several times in the past, but no matter how I tried to put it into my web browser it wouldn't come up, so I thought they went out of business. I think it was part of the myriad of problems my last work computer was having before it finally just died a slow painful death last week. (I' had been limping it along for about 3.5 months!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried pulling up sites and on my phone they will come up,on my laptop they will not. So believe me I hear what you are saying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strugglebrother Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Sorry to hear that your wax has been taken away. Bulk Apothecary is a very unreliable company https://www.yelp.com/biz/bulk-apothecary-aurora I would not consider them my main supplier in any way... The few good reviews on Yelp are obviously doctored by mr Gary P himself, hence how they are phrased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that they are only a few hours from me but my first order from them took over 7 days to get to me from the day they shipped it yet they said it was coming Priority Mail. I could have gotten something to CA in less time than that. They do not respond to emails AT ALL but spam you with requests to post good reviews about them on Google. I was really not happy with their level of service. The order itself was great though so there's that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really not happy with their level of service. The order itself was great though so there's that. It took me a week to get 1 item but was supposed to only take 2 days,and like you I could've ordered from cierra (west coast) and had my order in the same amount of time. I was constantly getting emails that certain items were back in stock,I'd go to the site and it wouldn't be there, also about leaving feedback. They all go to my spam box now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So just wanted to make sure. 👍 Thanks so much for letting us know! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
