MommaD Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Do any of you ever buy scents from him? Are his any good? I am not sure if this is an appropriate forum for this question, just delete it or move it if I am wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mtngrl Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 I'm a bit leary about buying candle stuff from ebay. I have a friend who really likes the Asian Sandlewood I bought from Peaks. When we went to pu an order of mine, she bought a 32 oz bottle with the intention of pouring it into smaller bottles & selling on ebay. She doesn't know anything about candle-making, doesn't want to hear anything about candle-making, & I have to wonder, what the hell is she doing selling a product she doesn't understand? What if she were to sell it to someone who isn't making candles but wants to use it for ... god-only-knows-what? Would an FO be usable for other applications? I don't know. So, she makes me suspicious of other ppl selling stuff that is very use-specific. Yeah, I've tried to tell her she's wrong to sell it, but she's got it in her head this is a viable way to make some money :rolleyes2 & won't listen to me. She's not being a very good friend right now. I think this is a strong case for reading buyer's comments about any given seller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystical_angel1219 Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Candlechem is a very high rated seller on Ebay. :smiley2: I have never purchased any FO from him. However, I will tell you his candlemaking equipment is not of cheap quality. He is a very fast shipper and answers emails quickly. You can probably find scent reviews from Candlechem on the TSR Board. www.thescentreview.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugenia Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Candlechem is a very high rated seller on Ebay. :smiley2: I have never purchased any FO from him.

You can probably find scent reviews from Candlechem on the TSR Board. www.thescentreview.comAs Mystical noted, he is a VERY reputable seller with a website, not some John Doe selling FO on Ebay. His customer service is top notch, as are his molds. I was pleased with most of the FO's I bought over the years.e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonrose64 Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 I also think very highly of Candlechem..His customer service is great and his scents are good.I only ever got 1 scent from him that I didn't like.He works with you too. I had a problem and he helped me out.Not to mention his awesome prices. His prices are much better on ebay than on his site... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mtngrl Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I'm always very happy to learn about vendors who are highly valued by members of this board! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanaE Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I've never ordered fragrances from them, but they have some of the best prices for things like 4 lb pouring pots, large quantities of votive molds, stearic acid, etc. I get my orders so fast that I feel like they must live next door. I highly recommend them.DanaE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meshman Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Yes! They are awesome! I just recieved a shipment from them today. They sell for $495US for 4oz.

blondiee Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I've ordered from CandleChem a few times and was very pleased. I must admit, however, I'm relieved to see this thread and that others rate it so high. I've never head it mentioned before and thought maybe I had just gotten lucky before!!

ajl Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I've bought lots from him, molds, wicks and fragrance oils. The shipping is a bit of a pain for me but, the service and products are always quality :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michi Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 So, what did you order from them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nay2120 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I am trying Fall scents.I got Cranberry woodland spiceHarvest SpiceHome Sweet HomeMaple PecanApple strudelCinnamon BunSo far, these scents smell great oob. I am a little concerned bx they dont seem as strong as I would of hoped. I will see. I guess you can never tell how a scent is going to throw when its hot. I am waiting, not so paitently, to burn these. I use Snowtop 100% Soy, and they reccommend 48hr cure time.Its the easiest wax I have used so far. I will keep everyone posted!!! Hope with good results!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geekrunner Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I too have purchased from candlechem when I first started ab 6 months ago. Have not tried his FO but I may have to. I actually bought my first FO's from Gemlite and was pretty happy with three out of six. Their French Vanilla was VERY strong! I haven't tried all my FO samples from Peak's yet, but three out of four I tried I like alot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scents for me Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Lots of suppliers we now buy from started out on ebay. They doesn't mean they are all good. I have heard candlechem has some good ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
