Sndfrddy Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 I haven't been testing many new scents lately because the shipping is so expensive lately. I was going to try Flickers Fragrances but just to have an 8-1 oz sample pack sent to me is almost $9.00 ! They are in Indiana, I'm in Wisconsin. Just seems crazy. So I held off again for now. Frustrating me. Just had to vent. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PamR Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 I know exactly how you feel. That's the main reason I haven't tried Solas yet. Dang shipping is gonna kill me.PamR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stacien Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Have you tried Bitter Creek they are highly rated on this site. They are located up in Northern Wisconsin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tahlula B. Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Shipping is just a part of business. It isn't pleasant to be sure the last - oh, year? or more really. But, we have to raise our prices just like everyone else and realize it is a cost of doing business. Gas is high and it affects everything I do - business and personal.

sockmonkey Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I always thought NG had reasonable shipping rates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debscent Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Shipping rates have always been an issue for me, and I always try to order enough to make it worth it. Shipping on samples is never worth the $$ in my opinion, which is why I try the classifieds first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gottabt Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 This exact thing almost stopped me from ordering samples the other day. I only needed 2. They are both for an existing client and so I bit the bullet and ordered. Well, they said on the site that shipping will be figured after order was placed. I can say I was extremely happy that Vickey at KY only charged me $3.50 or so for the samples. It was a very pleasant surprise:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am assuming they could also fit it into a smaller box for anywhere between 4.05-5.15 for shipping. ???? Have you called to ask them this???

asheebeans Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 That's what has kept me from trying new things too. There are a few scents I know I want from different suppliers but I keep holding off because of the shipping. I watch the classies and see if any of them come up on the cheap-cheap!
