Mnhorsemom Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I ordered 3 cases of 10oz apothecary jars with the metal lids from Candles and Supplies. The total for the jars was $66 and change and when I got the paypal request I am being charged 27.57 for the shipping. Now I just sold some rubber stamping stuff on Ebay and the box weighs over 100 pounds and I am only spending $69 to ship that out to Washington state from Minnesota. I ordered some square masons from BCN the other day unfortunately they don't carry the 10oz apoths Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Makin Momma Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Yep that's just about right. For me to order jelly jars from BCN to FLorida, it is almost the same amount for shipping as it is for the jars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaP Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Yes, I can believe that's true. I have been ordering gel wax from Iowa and having it shipped to florida. The shipping on 25 lbs. was about $12. The last order I had shipped the price jumped in one month from $12 to almost $20.There's got to be a better way...lolBill and DonnaJacksonville Fla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 If you search this board you will find that Candles & Supplies has outrageous shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creeksidecandles Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Well, we live in PA, and C&S charges us reasonably well, but understandably because they are in PA too. When we order from Ohio or any other state for that matter, shipping charges are always high..IMHO. I realize the product cost may only be $66....but it also depends on what delivery service is selected. IMHO shipping charges are an outrageous amount wherever you live.

MissyK Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I think all shipping charges are outrageous! I wish I could find some place in New Orleans for supplies but my closest so far is in Texas. I ordered from Candlescience yesterday and my total weight was about 70 pounds and my shipping cost me $45.00, which actually I thought was somewhat reasonable. My brother lives in Dallas and I have him pick up some wax for me whenever he comes to New Orleans. Shipping is outrageous!!!Missy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavenScentU Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Yup. I always call if I can't get a shipping cost online. I hate to be surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beth-VT Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Smaller (although somewhat weighty) lots cost more too. If you can swing a larger order, your shipping cost per jar should go down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelaVA Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Candles and Supplies is very close to Fillmore Container. I buy from Fillmore because their prices are cheaper and shipping is extremely reasonable. You may to check to see if they have what you want for future orders www.fillmorecontainer.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
