Yola Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Does anybody know where to buy wax in South Africa? There is such nice places overseas but I can't find once in South Africa. I will even look at importing if the prices isn't so bad.Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgia Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 katinka is a member and also in South Africa. She posted this thread about finding wax in her country. I suck at geography, but I hope this helps.http://www.candletech.com/forums/showthread.php?p=161175#post161175 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katinka Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Hi there and welcome to the board!!! Finding wax in South Africa sucks, but there is a couple of places I can help you with. Pm me or email me on katinka.bezuidenhout@therapybar.co.za and I will help you. Forget about importing it, I looked into it when I started a bit more than a year ago and the cost is just totally crazy - for one you would never be able to sell them. Also forget about making all the nice soy candles people always show off on this site, there is not a single source of soy wax available in South Africa!Now, having said all of that, there is some local suppliers of paraffin wax in SA. I got all my molds from Candlescience (www.candlescience.com) -Dan is a darling - and my fragrance I get mostly from Just Scent (www.justscent.com) - Becky is really super and both of these companies are willing to ship internationally. I suggest you use United States Postal Service and just insure it, I have only had one parcel go AWOL, LOL!Need any help, just give me a shout!Good luck and once again welcome!Katinka:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvcandlecrazy Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Yola~I agree with Just Scent & Becky, She is located not far from me and she has always been so kind and her scents are really great and she has so many to choose from, I think I have just about 1 of each of her samples, or close to it . Welcome to the world of candle making!!!Sue Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
