Juggy Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Hello everyone,I have been using BC for wax, fo and am very happy with their products and service but want to lower expenses (shipping). I live on the Florida gulf coast directly below Alabama and could drive to Alabaster when visiting family. Does anyone use them? Would it be worth it to try and switch to save on costs or should I stick w/ what I'm happy with? Would I need to start over and retest everything if I switch suppliers? I know this is a lot of questions. Thanks for any replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredron Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Alabaster tries hard to please. I've tried a few of their FO's & they were good. They usually have deals on wax/oil packages that could save some money. Unfortunately, they don't sell the wax I use.Fredron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amachs03 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 even if you just get wax while visiting....you probably save a pretty penny on shipping!( alot of pretty pennies!)I hate shipping wax...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logcabinmomma Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Having not used Alabaster yet, if you pick up, do you have to file your tax ID number with them since technically you're in state? I'm guessing so... unless maybe you could place the order online and then pick up? But then again, you're supposed to be charged taxes based on where the items are actually delivered TO, which puts you needing to bring your info with tax ID with you when you pick up- right?Alabaster is on my way to my inlaw's new house in Pensacola.... (I already have people picking up for me all over when they go out of town lolol)...-Kristi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggy Posted February 1, 2007 Author Share Posted February 1, 2007 I talked to them on the phone today and told me I do not need a state tax id number since I live in Florida. They recommended using J223 and 464. I am not familiar with these but I think the J223 is a 50/50 blend and 464 is 100%soy. Does anyone know if the 464 behaves like ezsoy? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logcabinmomma Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 464 has soy based additives and takes a smaller wick than other soys. I haven't used EZsoy, so I can't compare.So you can pick up AT Alabaster without a tax ID? Good to know!-Kristi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggy Posted February 1, 2007 Author Share Posted February 1, 2007 Yes, he said you only need a tax id if you live in Alabama or Kentucky (I think that is where their other location is). I'm going to try to go by there in the next week or two and pick up some samples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
