Alohagirl Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Hi everyone. I'm finally back on my feet and making candles again. I moved to New Zealand, and a local art gallery wants to sell my embed pillars. Unfortunately I can't get good supplies here. I want to order wax and stuff from my favorite U.S. suppliers and have it sent to my sister's house in California. I can pick it up when I visit her next week.So I'm wondering how long it takes for shipping within the continental U.S. I want to order from Peak's and CandlesAndSupplies.com, but I'm not sure if it will arrive in California within a week. Does anyone know? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Alan or Nachelle could help you with Peak's turn-around. I don't think I'd be waiting much longer to order though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 candles and supplies shipped really fast to me, but I'm only one state over from them - you might want to see if you can quickly find someone closer to california Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debscent Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 This is a super busy time of year for suppliers and any delivery UPS/USPS/Fed Ex, etc., I think you stand a fairly good chance at Peak's, but not sure about Candles & Supplies. It takes me a week to get supplies from Peak to me (west coast to east coast) and C&S is 90 minutes from me. Both have options of express (quicker delivery) but you will pay for it.

Alohagirl Posted December 8, 2007 Author Share Posted December 8, 2007 Thanks for the replies. I checked out the CT list of suppliers by state. I found a West Coast source for crystallizing palm wax, so that'll save time and money.Unfortunately, I need tealight plug inserts and aluminum hexagon molds which I've only found at CandlesAndSupplies.com. But now that I know how long it takes for some of you to get your orders, I'll be on the safe side and pay for fast shipping. Thanks again!

Scented Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Be careful on paying extra shipping, because it doesn't always mean that they will put you ahead of others to get your stuff there next day, in two days or even three days, especially at this time of year. Really going to encourage trying to reach these suppliers to double check on those shipping options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alohagirl Posted December 11, 2007 Author Share Posted December 11, 2007 Thanks for that advice, J. You were right, and there was no way to guarantee it would be in California when I get there. Next time I'll order way in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
