Asher Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 http://www.earlyamericancandlesupplies.com/Any experience with this company? I found some wicks that were half the price of what I had paid on another site. While I was there, I also decided to order one of their scents. Anyway, I have yet to actually try the wicks, but they are 34-40 SP votive wicks. As for the scent, I wanted to pick up one I had gotten from Lone Star Candle Supply so I could compare. They are $1 more per ounce than Lone Star, but the eucalyptus almost burned my nose. They would appear to be more concentrated I placed my order on Friday afternoon and it arrived yesterday (Tuesday). I didn't have any problems whatsoever. There are just so many candle supply companies that you almost have to sample them all to find the best 5 or 6.By the way, I've heard great things about Wick Your Wax (WYW), but on my first trip to their website it was loading so slowly that I gave up.

3-boys-4-me Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I visited Early American several years ago. They are super nice people. They showed me around the factory and gift shop, loaded me up with TONS of wick, wax, and jar samples, then helped my husband load the wax I purchased. I didn't buy an of their FO's, just wasn't looking for anything new at the time...but I did sniff EVERY FO they offered and they all smelled wonderful. I get my wax and wicks from them. They are quick to ship and they have never messed up an order. If you ever have the chance to visit them, I would suggest it. It's a neat place and like I said, they are so nice there!Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asher Posted November 16, 2005 Author Share Posted November 16, 2005 Thank you, Lisa! I'm glad to hear this. I had never heard of them before a few weeks ago, but I was not at all disappointed with my experience. There are so many companies out there that you just have to find one and try them out.

Margaritamama Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Being in Tennessee, you might also want to try CandleScience in North Carolina. That's where I get most of my supplies, and they are always super quick with delivery. Last week I ordered some molds, and they were at my door the very next day!!!! They are also very helpful and answer email queries promptly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asher Posted November 16, 2005 Author Share Posted November 16, 2005 Whew! So many choices. I also heard of one located somewhere in Tennessee. I wish we had one locally so I could just drive over and pick things up. It's hard to order samplers from different places when you have a minimum of $6 to pay for shipping. Oh, well...that's just part of it I suppose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueH Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Ive ordered from them twice and they've been great!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredron Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Just thought I'd chime in. Early American is sort of like Wal Mart in a way. You can get some good buys there, and the people are friendly, but mixed in with the good stuff are some less than quality products. Wicks come to mind, and I don't care for their fragrances. They sell quality waxes, and they have good supplies of containers and molds. I buy a lot from them, but I shop carefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shafferbuns Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I got a couple of bottles of their fo's off the classifieds here, I like both of them and they both have a great throw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
