Debra Phelps Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I went in to stock one of my stores. She was selling Tyler Candles. I had heard they might be out of business, so I ask. She said no, but they do not sell wholesale......I am looking at all these Tyler Candles wondering why she is selling them. I ask her what they charged her for the 12oz tureen. She said 12.50 each. I looked on the bottom and that is what she is selling it for. I ask about another size. Same thing. She said her customers love them. DAH! I don't get it. She isn't even charging for the shipping. Maybe she will buy mine retail. lol Blew me away. Had to share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heirloomoriginals Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 How can you sell something if you aren't making money on it? I would be confused, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunt Bee Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I think she was playing with you. Tyler advertises in all the wholesale trade magazines. Of course things could have changed recently. Most shop owners are protective of their wholesale information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VerticallyEnhanced Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 It could be just her, too. Tyler is very picky where they place their candles and they may have turned her down on a wholesale account. She may have just gone and bought them herself.

Debra Phelps Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 I tried to look them up, of course their site is still down. But I read the same thing. You have to talk to someone, and they are picky. They only allow so many in each area. She has a nice store. But I bet she misunderstood. Beats me why she bought them retail. But she did. She is Mexican, no offense, but sometimes they can misunderstand. That is ok, she will stock more of mine. She lost my number and couldn't remember how to contact me. It is on the candle, but lets not go there. lol :lipsrseal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
