wildangel112 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Shipping is getting so outrageous these days. Can anyone recommend a reputable supplier of basic soap supplies (preferably reasonably priced:wink2: ) anywhere near La? I've been getting most of my oils, cocoa & shea butter, etc. from California. Thanks for any and all suggestions!!:smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudsnwicks Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 If you can't find anything nearer, Columbus Foods in Chicago is about half the distance to California. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Lilac Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Here is a link for suppliers by state - maybe you can find one close to you.Mike at Columbus Foods is great to work with and very prompt shipping - I placed an order in the am and got my products the next day ( I am not thatfar away but with gas prices the way they are it was worth the shipping).HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purple Lilac Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Sorry it appears I forgot to put the link (or maybe I just didn'tdo it right) :embarasse http://www.candleandsoapstuff.com/Suppliers_by_State.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michi Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Rena, you said that you've been getting most of your supplies in CA, could you tell me what sites you've been using? I'm in CA, so that should help ME with shipping charges. I'll keep my eyes open for any places closer to you also. TIAMichelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildangel112 Posted August 17, 2005 Author Share Posted August 17, 2005 PM'd ya Michi & thank you very much for the supplier suggestions, teercreations. I'm looking them over right now.:smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniedb Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 MMS is in Utah, and I used to order to AZ and got a great shipping rate. I think their prices are outrageously reasonable, I never found a better price on oil or butter.www.thesage.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Columbus Foods has great oils and shipping is VERY reasonable!! :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockmonkey Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Have you checked out wholesalesuppliesplus.com? They're in Ohio, still pretty far away, but I've found their shipping to be reasonable (I'm in Indiana) and ship lightning fast. I just ordered from them on Tuesday and got it this morning.Another place is craftlobby.com. They have a lot of b&b stuff, and some decent prices. They're located in TN. I haven't bought from them too much because they really rip me off on shipping, so what I save on prices is canceled out by the high shipping. Perhaps shipping will be more reasonable in your area.I forgot a few...camdengrey.com (FL)floridasoapsupplies.com (FL, obviously)bayousome.com (LA. I don't think that have that much in the way of soap supplies, but they do have a nice and reasonably priced selection of bottles and jars. They also have good shipping rates) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
