AnjieBurdett Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 My fragrance oils from the USA arrived today and OMG the monkey farts smells delicious the Fresh Peach is 'wow' too. I ordered them from The Candle Source and they are blow your head off strong! The candles I make with these are going to have a blinding throw. I'm soo happy The oils are fab and the postage was a flat rate of £12! What more can a girl ask for??Anjie,x. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wick'n'Wax Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 £12 flat rate postage? is that airmail Anjie.I was looking at 16oz bottles of FO, they are half the price in US, but thought postage would outweigh the benefit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 When you get the peach in wax report back and tell us the results. I have yet to find a peach with a strong hot throw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnjieBurdett Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share Posted June 14, 2007 Sorry Yvette, I got the postage wrong, its $12.... so £6 LOL!! flat rate AIRMAIL (and it got here in under a week!!), and they can fit 2 x 16oz and 1 x 8oz bottles in, plus they fit 6 colour blocks in mine too! If you look on the postage rates on their website http://www.thecandlesource.com/catalog/c33_p1.htmlthere are 2 flat rate options for UK shipping, one is the $12 and one is $37 and you can fit 8 x 16oz and 6 x 4oz in that one! So yeah, i's a happy bunny. The oils are out of this world too Anjie,x. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NattyCat Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 just because an oil is knock-your-socks off strong out of the bottle - unfortunately that doesn't always mean that it'll throw well in wax. Crossing my fingers for you! I have found Candle Source oils to be very hit and miss.nat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

victoriaj Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Hi, the candle source is where i get most of my FO from All of the FO i have tried have had a great hot and cold throw. I normally get the 8oz bottles that way i can try twice as many new FO in one flat rate shipping. And they arrive to the UK really quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stella1952 Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 You cracked me up! I'll bet you sniffed the monkey farts first!:laugh2::laugh2: I dunno WHO comes up with these names, but that one just slays me! Isn't it WONDERFUL to receive new fragrances? We always go out on the porch with a couple of beverages, the ground coffee container and our new scents and have us a good, old fashioned smellathon! Sniffing coffee grounds between scents really does help clear your nose for the next one! Glad you had fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramaroa Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 I love it when my parcels arrive from US. Boxes are ripped open and have to have a good sit down to sniff all the bottles, even if I have had the same ones loads of times before. :tiptoe: It is a good idea to get sample or 4oz sizes to try before committing to 16oz sizes. That way for same postage as two x 16 ozs you can try 8 fragrances. It may save you money in the long run from buying big sizes of fragrances that you just hate and will never use.

AnjieBurdett Posted June 16, 2007 Author Share Posted June 16, 2007 Yes Ramaroa, I think i'll try the 4oz sizes next and order LOADS lol.Haven't burned the monkey farts pillar yet, but the cold throw is still 'in yer face', its standing in my hall and I can smell it at the top of my stairs if the window at the bottom of the stairs isn't open. I really don't like the orange colour I poured it in, will def. go for a shade of yellow next time.At the moment I am mesmerised by Daystars Coconut Pear OMG if I could strap it to my face in a bag I would!!!! :drool: Everytime i smell it i drool!!Anjie,x.
