Lifelace Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Hi guys, I'm really itching to order some more FOs but there are so many suppliers out there I get dizzy. Funds are limited so I'm really nervous about trying new suppliers but I want to try a new one...so if you could only order from one supplier what would it be? Which one has the more <<hits>> for you? For me it would be Nature's Garden, I have bought tons and not once got one I didn't like at least a little bit. I have a few <<must haves FOs>> from a couple of places but I would love to find another supplier that has lots of <<hits>> for me. Help me please! Let me know what your all-time favorite FO supplier is! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbla Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I almost posted this exact same question the other day when I was trying to clear my own confusion over so many suppliers! I eventually thought "Nah, no way anybody can pick just one." If I had to, I might could stick with just The Candle Source or maybe Day-Star.

birdieluvr76 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I would stick with Candle Source and Bitter Creek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motherofalltrades Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I have been thinking the same thing myself...........I wish there was 1 supplier that had it all, but I don't think there is such a thing! I keep saying I'm going to cut down because of shipping cost, but it's hard too! I have a lot of suppliers and they each have a certain oil I like better than somebody elses!!!!I'm guessing Bitter Creek would be my pick they have the largest selection and good strong oils! Plus they carry my jars too!GOOD LUCK!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carol k Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 mine would be millcreek-mcsoywax.com excellent oils for pure soythecandlesource.com- great oils, inexpensive/fast shippingics-candlesupplys.com- mostly great oils, inexpensive/fast shipping.sorry couldn't pick just one.

cybersix Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I don't have any doubt: Peak.I find the other are hit and miss, while their oils are always superlative. And customers service great too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsbennis Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I guess for me it would have to be Candle Science...great service...fast shipping and most all their oils work for me! but I do have to give honorable mentions to The Candle Source and Peak...I would still buy from them so I guess there is no way I could use just one...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ring of Fire Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Impossible to pick just one. You can't go wrong with any of the above listed as well as TCS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggie Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Never in a million years could I limit myself to one supplier. If I was using 100% soy wax I would say KY Candle Supply.But since I don't use 100% soy...I use a blend...I would have to say either The Candlemaker's Store (Steve's), TN Candle, Aroma Haven, Candlewic's Ultimate line (I'm having great success with scents I've been testing in my blend), and Fragrance Oil Heaven. I recently tested a few from Daystar and all have been great. Of course KY's are excellent in my wax since her Perfect Blend is 70% of my blend.Maggie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenOH Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Tennessee Candle Supply.....wax, wicks, jars and fantastic FO's! Great customer service too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissyK Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I couldn't possibly pick just 1. My top 3 or 4 right now are:DaystarFragrance Oil HeavenFlickersCandlesciencePeaks Ok, so maybe 5. So many great oils! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaxFlower Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I'm in the same boat, wanting to try some other fo suppliers, (thecandlesource being one of them).I can honestly say that so far my all time favorite fo supplier is Candlescience. I like every one of their scents that I have tried and I've been very successful with HT results in my 415 pure soy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugtussle Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Could not be in candle business with only one supplier. I have to have Lone Star, BCN, BCS, WSP, IFT, Taylored, Peak & ICS. I would, however, love to find a decent, honest wax manufacturer. LOL Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcroome2005 Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I can't narrow it down to just 1 but I would say Fragrance Oil Heaven and Backwoods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugtussle Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 They do have really good oils, but the minimum order is 10#s. I buy a few from them. Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evesorto Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I've actually just narrowed down my fo to my top favorite 39 scents/oils....unfortunately, they come from six different suppliers.Eve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlebuddy Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Although I order from several suppliers ... TCS (www.tncandlesupplies.com), is the one that gives free shipping when ordering 6, 16oz bottles (mix or match) ... can't beat that ... they also have great products and customer service too.

Late Night Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I get 90% of my stuff from WSP because they are near me and I can go pick it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silkysoycreations Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 That's easy for me. Peaks! Hands down! I 2nd peaks especially for FO. But love the wax at GL and a lot of their FO are very unique and complex. Those are the 2 main suppliers I use other than occationally TC (only because hubby works 5 min. from there and can pick up my supplies when I need them that day). I'm lucky enough to have a lot of local suppliers that I could use without shipping but damn Peaks has awesome FO plus they give a discount on quanity which usually covers my shipping cost.
