sisterkaren Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I was wondering if anyone else had problems with Oregon Trail shipping? I placed an order for oil samples on April 25 and never received shipping confirmation, called them last week and they said it was sitting waiting to be mailed, still no shipping confirmation. I emailed today and only then did I receive confirmation that it shipped out today. I love there oils and wanted to put some in our body line, but I am a little afraid to depend on them if I would need them quickly. None of our other suppliers took near as long to place the ship. Just curious. Thanks, Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainmadness Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Granted I have only ordered once from them but the shipping was fast and I was very pleased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freezin Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 They have been quick with shipping the few times I have ordered from them too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babyblues7 Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Maybe it's possible an item was backordered?I've only had good service myself from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sisterkaren Posted May 11, 2007 Author Share Posted May 11, 2007 Thanks everyone. I think perhaps it was just an over looked order. Everyone drops the ball once and awhile. I'm glad to hear good reports on the shipping because I love their oils. Just impatient because I live getting samples. Thanks again.

CountryGal Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 I;ve ordered from them before and always had fast shipping, maybe it's just a glitch on your order for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 I've only ordered once and I swear the box was here before I turned around. I'd say this is a fluke of some sort. Bummer though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carriegsxr6 Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 oh man i am sorry to hear this. i order from them all the time and i swear i have never had a shippment leave their shop that delayed. But i am sure it is expected to happen with every company at least once. Sorry it had to be you. Dont fret, you will be so pleased by their FOs, I am sure you will order again, and I promise the slow shipping wont happen again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sisterkaren Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 Yeh, I got my samples today. Now the big problem! , narrowing it down to 10 scents for our body line, which for now is just simple wash, lotion, and body spray. I would love to expand a few things more, but I am afraid we won't have the time to do it. Thanks for all the replies. Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In M&P it actually turns into a really "grown-up, confident" woman scent. I can only imagine how much more so in CP or HP soapAnd when you fall in love w/ the Egyptian Musk, let me knowI think you have a good little mix of oils!

Kaybee23 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I love the Mardi Gras and it is hands down, my best seller in soap. I also love the Chai Tea in soap. Almost everything I have tried of hers, really sticks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mei-Mei Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I love Oregon Trails but it takes just a little longer for me to get their packages. I always assume it's because I'm in New Orleans and even though our big hurricane was almost two years ago we still have some trouble with deliveries. I love thier FOs so much I don't really care that it takes a couple of days longer. I just plan on ordering before I need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridith Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Out of the ones you ordered, these are the ones I have soaped. Green Irish Tweed- soaps like a dream - no A& D and the scent doesn't' morph at all and holds strong. Black Pepper- this one soaped nicely but the scent does seem very light.Lime sugar Supreme- awesome in soap. Behaves beautifully and the scent really comes alive. I highly recommend these for soaping: Bonsai, Black Raspberries & Vanilla, Karma, Cool Mountain Lake, Frankincense and Myrrh, Oregon Wildberry Musk, Spring Mountain Mint and China Rain.

KarenMardi gras will blossom into something else after a couple weeks of cure time; this was a big hit at my last craft show. Lime sugar Supreme is awesome in soap; the sweetness isn’t so strong after you soap it. I blended this one with ginger and it sold out. I also blended it with voodoo berry and it was also sold outAmber dawn is beautiful in soap. But be careful, it will turn dark brown. I ended up doing a two color layer with this, amber dawn was poured in the bottom of the mold, then I poured Mountain Lake colored with blue on top of it, and men loved it!!!
