Candle Makin Momma Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Did you check out the Pepper Tin person's website? It's like she poured wax in any container she could find and all wicks are off center Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daisyd'Light Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 The more I think about it, the sorrier I feel for these people. I wouldn't think of letting a friend walk around the office with a booger in her nose, yet her/his friend's have allowed them to put this on the internet for the whole world to see.

hawaiiansun Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 What pisses me off, is that I have listed about 10 times with my candles. They look WAAAAAYY freaking better than that, yet I cannot sell any. But these people put out crap votives, mark them up way high, AND people buy them? WTF? Your prices are too low Tess, raise them and they will sell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 That pepper tin takes the cake. Is that actual pepper there on top of the candle? :rolleyes2Looks like it to me, I guess they did not wash out the tin first.WOW!!! What some people will do to try to make a buck. They are SOL when it come to repete customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creative_candles Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Oh my. What a shame that such threads as this start out as unfortunately this one is, as ever, ill-informed and misleading to say the least.I know of this seller as I recognise the item and I almost bought because they were priced rediculously cheaply - no doubt reflecting the quality of the offering. We are all candle makers (or at least interested or we wouldn't be on this forum) and I wish for anyone who has had a duff batch of candles to step forward. At least this seller was prepared so sell them as seen for a sensible (in UK terms anyway) price.I have bought several items from this seller and as far as I am concerned the quality and service could not be faulted. Really, the person who started this thread must have better things to do. It is truly pathetic and waste of 6 pages of web space, not to mention all of the time of the individuals involved in the thread.May I suggest that this subject be brought to a suitable and timely close for everyones sake.....or does anyone really wish to extend the timewasting further.........??!

I either call them oopsies and sometimes give to my family to burn ( but not all the time) or I remelt them or I use them for myself, but never once ask for a dime for those kind of shitty candles! Geesh. These are horrible. The quality and service could not be faulted?? You must have low values !!!

Demenshia Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Not only is it a "bad batch" of candles but it's a safety issue with the wicks so off center. That is the main shock I had in that they were selling them that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would rather give your family your duff ones than sell them at a fair price!!? Oh dear.Anyway, you can say what you like about my values, but the fact that you felt moved to post further on this thread after I had suggested that it was prudent to bring the matter a sensible and honourable close rather suggests that your standards fall some way short of my own....Get a life.

Yeah, I would rather give my family members ones that dont look all that great then to sell them at a fair price and have my future customers think my candles are crappy like those posted on this thread. I value my candles , my testing and my company. If you arent the person doing this, then I apologize, but even for you to stand up and think that what she is doing is right-- well, just says much about what you think a candle should look like. And how long have you been in business? Just because you suggest something- doesn't mean I am going to follow it. This thread will be closed by the moderators if and when they think it will get out of hand. Not for you or I to say! When it comes to candles, I think my standards are very high! I sure wouldnt sell something like that. They are a hazard, horrible looking and the maker should be ashamed to even put their name with those candles.

It just seems a little strange that your first post is supporting this crappy candlemaker.. ChristinaPlease. Your ignorance is painful.Think about it. What experience do you have of dealing with this candle maker. 'Jack' I would imagine so your are clearly unqualified to comment (although this obviously doesn't seem to inhibit your enthusiasm any!).My point is that I have actually bought from this seller and I have no qualms whatsoever in saying that they were high quality products. Period. Perhaps we should all make sure that we buy personally before starting or contributing to such a demeaning and trivial thread.Maybe it is time for the moderator to step in.....?

Excuse my picture- I make them better than what they look like on here. My camera is broken and this is all I could find.2. This is what you get, a nasty votive , uneven 2nd pour and uncentered wick.. But then again, I think this is funny. Someone doesnt have high standards on his/her product!Fill your home with the scent of Cranberry.You will receive one dozen of these red Cranberry scented candles. These candles are hand-poured. They are highly scented and the scent and colour are all the way through so they last right to the end of the candle. The wicks are 100% lead free. When burned in a proper votive holder, these votives will completely liquify when burning and will burn for 15 to 18 hours.Please be sure to visit our Ebay Store to view other candle items!
