Jokerjen Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 For those of you who sell and have websites, out of all the scents that you offer, do you keep ALL of them in stock (your fo) or order them in as need but still list them on your site (order form)?I want to be able to offer all the ones I have tested, but right now there is no way I can afford to keep all of them in stock, not to mention that would take up ALOT of room!I figure when I write up my faq/policies, I can state something along the lines of ...candles are made up at the time of order, please allow sufficient time for order to be made and shipping...not in those words, but you get my idea...

MissMary Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Only what's in stock. If you got an order for an FO you don't have, and you go to order it and the store is out of it - then you have to explain to a customer what's going on (or lie to them). Either way, you wouldn't be able to give them a product they ordered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlelady Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Yes, definitely. If it's on my website for sale, then I have the FO in stock...always keep at least 1 lb. on hand of each FO I offer. Not to mention, candles are in inventory as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfcat Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 If its listed, then it is in stock. I also will take custom order so if there is not a scent listed then they can contact me to order. That's why I typically carry seasonal scents and rotate them throughout the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number2of7 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Yep, all 200 are listed and in stock....You could always do something like: Pumpkin Pie Spice (available September through December only).....you get my drift. That way, they'll know what you have and it gives you plenty of time to order it without having to keep it on hand 24/7 if you don't have the room.

DaisyChain Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I keep it in stock and usually have a back up lb of my best sellers as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SliverOfWax Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 When you ask questions like this, ask yourself how you would feel if you ordered wax or fo from your favorite supplier only to find out it was out of stock. Most questions can be answered by putting yourself in the other person's place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
