Candle-Lady Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 They are out of business and selling small amounts of oils they have left in their eBay store. No notice to any of their customers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Ouch. That hurts. Sorry for their customers left scrambling through the closure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzy Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Wow, I was just emailing with Loren last month and he ensured me he was looking for a replacement wax still. Sad to see that customers mean so little to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdcharm Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Well, that's what I get for finding a scent I really like. I ordered from them about a month or so ago and blended two of their scents, really enjoying the result. I wonder how wrong it is to ask how to find those scents, if they would answer, or if that's just not right to do. I guess I can look on the bright side that I got an order in before they closed!

The way I see it, there is no harm in asking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belinda Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 I hate to hear this. They had the best tart wax but their shipping to me was too high so I quit using it. I wish I could get ahold of them to see if there was another supplier who carried it. I've never been able to find it anywhere else. I also liked some of their oils too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loren was out of wax for over a year. Not the first time this happened with TCS. He would never say where his wax came from or if another supplier carried it. Some of us figured out that Swan's carried it but I don't think they do anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaxingPoetic Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Oh no ! I had no idea. I LOVED their Pink Sugar, Butterscotch candy, & Creamsicle oils in particular, Also their Mint Chocolate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think they would be offended if I asked them where a couple of their scents were from? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are nice and forthcoming. Did you ever buy from Moonworks? When she closed she shared all of her sources, and PFO ended up carrying the line. 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just emailed Loren and asked if he'd mind sharing where his oils and wax came from. He was never very forthcoming about his wax but maybe now that he no longer sells supplies he will share. All we can do is ask...and all he can do is say yes or no. I know I will be crying rivers of tears once I get low on some of his oils. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just took me way too long to get around to ordering more samples from them. At least I did order a couple of larger sizes, but it was the Floating Driftwood that I took a liking to, along with South Pacific Waters (2:1), those two seem to go well together for some reason ... on their own they were okay, but together, very nice!

I have a friend who has emailed him in the past with no reply. That's why I didn't email him about his wax. I really liked his sugared cranberry and the great pumpkin oils too and a few others. That was pretty crappy to not let people know what was going on. The least they could do is refer their customers to other suppliers that may carry the same oils and wax.

This is only the second or third time he hasn't replied to my emails in the last 17 years so I'm not sure what to make of it. I have always had a decent " email relationship" with him. He's always been very helpful in regards to questions about usage of his wax and oils. Just not very forthcoming with actual facts about his wax(es) which to a degree I can understand if it was proprietary. Other suppliers don't give much info on that front either. The Google says "temporarily closed" now ....not sure what to make of that either. I know I will miss his goodies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope everything's ok with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't heard a peep as of yet. I am guessing oversaturation and insane inflation of the market in general might be a factor. He's kept his prices pretty decent. The whole suppliers/maker market is oversaturated and prices are completely ridiculous. Not to mention shipping. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzy Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 So...I got an email from a friend saying that TCS website is back. I checked and it is. Same as before. Does anyone know if they're back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
