burnsv1 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Has anyone here purchased candle jars from overseas via Alibaba? If you have, what’s the good, the bad and the ugly please? I know it’s always best to buy USA made but the particular jar I want has no USA suppliers that I can find. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The jars were gorgeous. Performed well too. BUT, you’ll likely notice that upon reordering, the price jumps up. Plus I’m fairly certain my CC number got stolen. It’s just super risky. But in the current landscape, do what you gotta do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnsv1 Posted September 8, 2021 Author Share Posted September 8, 2021 Thanks StanfordP. Sorry you had a bad experience. I decided against it and from what you said--glad I didn't do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErronB Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Apart from everything that's already been said, the shipping costs from overseas are absolutely insane right now and it's going to be quite a while before it get's a bit more sensible.

Thanks Just find whichever jar you want and talk directly with the manufacture. You will get broken jars but thats just the nature of ordering glass. All the big candle wax suppliers buy them from Alibaba. I found the exact jars Makesy sells and they are only 50 cents each then they mark them up to $6 lol. I have also seen all the Valuspa jars there. Only downside is you have to purchase 500-1000 at a time. They want your business for a long time, so just talk with them and work out a deal. I have ordered a lot of my fishing gear ( not cheap gear) from China and Japan and haven't had a bad experience yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
