OverSoyed Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Measure the jars to get the sq. footage. The size of the new boxes are on the UPSP.com website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LynnS Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 I have been using these boxes and really like them. I got 16-8 ounce candles in the large flat rate box. I was just figuring a tad bit and you probably could get 14 9 ounce candles.I just packed the order and just enough for what my customer ordered plus about 12 packs of tarts.Who knows maybe you can pack 16 or more of those in a flat rate like I did.I am working on more the next time.I was in a hurry to get my order out .Good LuckI use newspaper for my wrapping/stuffiing and so far no jars broke but the last order 1. To me the postmaster was the problem.I told him I made a mistake when I addressed and would like the candles to be on the bottom.I asked to do the address on both sides and have the right side up. Oh no he just said leave it.Well one broke. I was mad.I have been told I ship/mail with the flat rate boxes and happy when I come in with these boxes. Honestly I want do do bunches more. Sure isn't all I want to do but postmaster is happy.LynnS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 True! I was surprised how long it took for them to get delivered. I like the new large boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverSoyed Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 WOW... I ordered a new case of each size, and I got them within 2 days. Are you out in the sticks? We have a postal distribution center fairly close by, so maybe that's why we got them so early.So i should not have a problem getting at least 12 in the box then.

CareBear Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 it varies tremendously - my box orders take anywhere from 2or 3 days to the point at which I cannot imagine why boxes are sitting on my front porch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OverSoyed Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Oh yea... Fred Myers (has no clue) LOLThat would explain the delay! Pony express here we come!

I am about 70 miles West of portland out on the oregon coast. We have alot of small fishing and farm towns and LOTS of tourists!! We're 130 miles from the nearest wally world... it took about 2 weeks for me to get my boxes. I haven't used them yet... I'm not sure how many jars I'll be able to fit into them. For the original flat rate box, I was only able to fit 6 but I know others here have been able to put in more... guess I'm just not very good at packing.

thecandlespastore Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Isn't that the truth. I have yet to receive mine from like 3 weeks ago or so.I ordered some 5 weeks ago:( They told me right when I ordered in red at the top of the screen that they were experiencing delays. Oh well. When I order supplies from Fedex they get here the next day, literally! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sudsnwicks Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I got 6 of my 9oz hex jars into the old boxes. Since the new boxes are 50% bigger, you should be able to get 9 jars in there. Or more, if you are good at packing, like LynnS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tootie04 Posted April 8, 2008 Author Share Posted April 8, 2008 OK, went to the PO today and picked up a box. The official answer is 13!! I can get 13 9oz hex jar candles in the box wrapped in bubble wrap and peanuts or newpaper on top and bottom!!My lady in GA is VERY happy since I can ship her candles by the case and not cost a fortune!!tootie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
