Malamute Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I want to sample some paraffins from suppliers in NY state. With Fedex and UPS prices going up, I'm paying almost the same for shipping as the cost of the wax. Does anyone have any suggestions/know of good suppliers in NY?

NancyJo Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Where in the state are you? I am by Niagara Falls and get my wax from Wholesale Supplies Plus in Ohio. I usually try to pick it up from them to save on shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Strahl & Pitsch (www.spwax.com) is the only wax supplier I know of in NY (West Babylon). Nice waxes but pricey. They don't list any prices on their site, you have to call or email them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malamute Posted January 9, 2007 Author Share Posted January 9, 2007 I live in upstate between Buffalo & Rochester, I currently get my wax in OH but the shipping is just getting way too high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jane42 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Hi, all! I am about 25 miles south of Rochester, NY. I currently buy my wax from Candles and Supplies in PA, but their wax prices are higher than other companies. It is too far to drive, so I am still paying shipping...:undecided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patience Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Hi guys,Long Island here I live in the same town as Strahl & Pitsch. The wax Gods have smiled on me. They are such nice people. Great customer service.Here's a good one for ya....I bought a kit from NG in "04, later I ordered a case of wax from C&S. When my husband took the box from the UPS guy, he said, "sorry about the heavy box". The UPS guy goes, "I'm used to it, S&P is on my route." We looked at eachother and yelled..."Strahl & Pitsch"!!!Needless to say, I now pick up my orders at S&P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malamute Posted January 29, 2007 Author Share Posted January 29, 2007 I'm in Churchville NY about 20 mins. from Rochester or 40 mins from Buffalo!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I lived in Geneva and my parents are still there - about 30 miles east of Rochester. Small world, non? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malamute Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 Sure is!! We have quite a few NYer's here!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soy_in_ny Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I'm a NYer too. I live up by Watertown. You know what? I'm tired of having to pay the crazy shipping and hearing of others dealing with it too. I think I'm going to start up a supply company. All I need is a small steel building and a large amount of capital. Then I could be a SAHM for real and all the NYers wouldn't be paying such huge amounts for shipping. Let me know what you think. I'm serious.Carrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debscent Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Depending on what you are looking for, Farmhouse has wax too. Her selection is limited, but the wax is nice, I use her 50/50 blend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malamute Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 Carrie, that is an EXCELLANT idea! I made up my mind to switch to Candlewic for wax, better quality and a lot cheaper shipping from PA to NY than OH to NY. I tried his samples and really liked them, I'm going to mix 129&141 together for tarts. I did try S&P in NY but I can't seem to get them to give me an actual shipping quote. I asked several times so I bigger supplier in upstate NY area would be AWESOME!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connie Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 That would be great. Heck , Watertown is only about 35 miles from me. Hope you would carry parrifin too, not just soy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soy_in_ny Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Connie, you're in Parish right? You wouldn't even have to come get it. I go to Syracuse all the time. I would just drop it off on my way. LOL Talk about customer service. Anyway, I would do a survey of the NYers that would do business with me to see what they need whether it's soy or paraffin. I will definitely carry GW464 as that's what I use. I doubt I would carry FOs for awhile as I like the oils I get for myself. I can't see taking on FOs right away. But I would like to know what you guys would like me to carry so I can work on a business plan. I've spoken with my husband about this several times but was afraid I wouldn't have enough business to afford to quit my puny job. I would want to be able to work this full-time so I could offer same-day shipping. PM me with your thought so I don't hijack this thread anymore.

Malamute Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 I currently use JS Vot and I'm going to switch to CBL129 and CBL141, I like the blends, but I don't care for soy at all. Nothing wrong with it, just a personal preference, I'm just a parrafin type of gal! I haven't experimented with any other waxes except S&P. I would love the lower shipping or heck syracuse is only a couple hours away from me!!! Pass it if I'm heading to Turning Stone!!! LOL!

Cindys Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Hello, I live in West Seneca , about 10 minutes from Buffalo. I get my wax from Nu Scents. They are very resonable on shipping, and VERY quick. I can have an order with in 2 days. I love them, they are so nice and will work with you Cindy:smiley2: :smiley2: :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are testing Enchanted Lites soy at this point. We pick up our jars from TV Guilfoil in Syracuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soy_in_ny Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Well, I would love to get it started but, I think I broke a rule somehow over this. I checked the rules and it's a little iffy as to whether or not I can post this stuff. I started a thread in the business section and it's been deleted. Would be nice to know what part broke the rules so I don't do it again. Anyway, Turning Stone...ROTFLMBO!!!Carrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
