Bank10 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 I bought some IGI Paraflex 4625 today and the problem is it is very expensive to ship like all 10lb slabs. I did some math and it looks like the manufacturers could melt it into a large priority flat rate shipping box and get around 21 pounds of melted wax in a box, and shipping costs would be $18.90. The medium priority flat rate box would hold 18 pounds and cost $13.65 to ship. Any feedback to this? Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franu61 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 (edited) Hi Dave, welcome! If only they would do that...(sigh). Shipping is THE most expensive part of this business/hobby/obsession. At least it is for those of us who live far away from a supplier. The best we can do is try to find a wax that works, from a supplier closest to us. Sometimes we get lucky and they will offer free shipping. I just got in on EAP's free shipping a few months back...cut my cost for wax in half. If you tell us your location I'm sure someone on here can tell you the nearest supplier to you of your wax.

ScentedPleasurez Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 (edited) That wax would have to be put in a bag if melted that way. Could you imagine the waste from scraping the box off the wax? Not very economical for them to do that. EBay and Amazon have wax with free shipping,but you will pay more. Your only other alternative is buy closer or wait for free shipping sale and even those will require more than a 10lb slab purchase.

Kerven Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Does it irritate anyone else when shipping costs as much as the order or more. Then, when you receive the box, about >40% of its contents are packing peanuts that have been dumped in on top of everything. Not some on the bottom, some on the sides, some on top. Just dumped on top to keep things from rattling because the box was so needlessly large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered molds and my shipping was more than the purchase, they couldve been put in a padded envelope, only 2 people had the mold that I wanted,or I wouldn't have paid that much. My box came and it was full of paper lol Edited October 28, 2018 by ScentedPleasurez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, this why there are a few suppliers that others RAVE about but I refuse to buy from because when I get to my cart and calculate, the shipping is more expensive than the items and i just cannot justify that.
