airforcewife Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I use candlesandsupplies, and creativilluminations.com, I like there prices and they have good shipping rates. But depending on where you are located you may be able to find a supplier close to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSR Candles Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Most of the suppliers offer 10 pound bags to try things out with. Due to the shipping costs of wax, it is highly suggested to you find a local place to purchase it, or search out a supplier in your area to order from, elsewise the shipping costs will eat you alive.

Candlebuddy Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Where do you live? When possible, buy from a supplier near you to save on shipping. Tell us the state where you live, and we can give you some recommendations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindy5140 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 This might help you out.http://www.fragranceoilreviews.comThere are quite a few types of soy waxes out there, but for us to tell you what we prefer would be pointless. What one person likes another might not like it. Same goes with you, I sugges buying/testing each different soy wax till you find one you like. I also suggest buying wick sample packs, to test in each type of wax to see which one works best. Also buying 1oz samplers of FO to because not all FO's throw well in soy.Also if you want to make pillars, I suggest buying a Pillar/votive blend. You can't use straight soy because it is to soft.Additives, you don't have to add any except maybe something to harden your container wax if you like. But for that information, I suggest you use thesearch button to see what others are using.Mindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kforbs126 Posted December 23, 2006 Author Share Posted December 23, 2006 Thanks for all your help and advice, much appreciated. I live in Florida and it seems there are NO distributors/wholesalers at all down here. Shipping is at least $25.00 from all the most popular sites. If anyone lives in Florida and knows of a good place, please contact me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luci Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Another candlescience fan here. Everything about the prices and cs stated here is true. They also have some great fo's that have worked well for me in soy. Good glass as well. The wicking chart is a bit off, though. Wish they carried cd wicks.

Candle Makin Momma Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 You guys seriously rock! I just did a price comparison and I will save almost $10 on shipping 50 lbs of wax by going to Candlescience! And the wicks are cheaper too.Thanks a bunch!

BubbleBath Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 soycandle.com is the best place I have found to get wax from! Fast shipping, good prices! Their oils are great too!I agree, mothreofalltrades. soycandle.com's prices are sooo great that I can get them shipped to Louisiana and still have the total case cost be less that purchasing wax from an in state supplier. Also, Melissa's FOs are awesome; I have had none that didn't throw well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
