Candlebuddy Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Just wondering if anyone has ordered from BG since it was sold in January? Their first newsletter came out around that time, but I haven't heard anything since then. They said that they were going to offer 4oz size samples (reasonally priced) and I think flat-rate shipping ... I'm anxiously awaiting their new website.

carol k Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Nope, haven't heard a peep out of them since they first posted on the board that they had bought bluegrass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-GRAN-ONES Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I did email them about their samplers..They wrote back and said they have been so busy gettingeverything back up and going, that they just have not had time yet for posting samplers..But they did give me a price, and told me just to email my order to them..I did order 12 samples from them, Sat. so I am anxiously waiting to get them..I have never ordered from them before, but from what I read, they use gb 415 for their testing, so I thought I would give them a try..because from reading they have some awsome oils...and i use gb 415..

Candlebuddy Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 I had high hopes when I heard about the new ownership ... I guess we'll see what the future brings. I think I'll wait for the new website to see exactly what they're offering (product/price/shipping). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-GRAN-ONES Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 The prices for 1oz samplers were...6 / $12.95...I2/ $24.95..so it totaled out to $2.08 per ounce bottle...I was a little disapointed in the shipping though...and maybe this is not high...if you all think this is in the ball park let me know..Shipping for 12 1 oz. bottles was 11.95 ups shipping...now that is coming from the east to west coast for shipping...

*Dee* Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 i dont think the shipping is that bad considering other places prices. for NG to send me 1 bottle of oil it costs 9.10 and they are only like 3 hours away. Ky and MC are around 12-13 to ship to me here in Pa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyppyjr Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 In march I ordered a case of wax and several pounds of oils, and the shipping was what I was expecting to pay. I didn't think it was high. Got my order super fast and the oils were just as fabulous and I remember! I was having Maui Baby, Key West and Lavender in Bloom withdrawals.So far the customer service has been top notch for me.hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynnS Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 That is why I don't like UPS.High. Not sure if they can be mailed in the flat rate boxes for USPS. I remember some being asked if they were shipping liquids. Almost $1.00 per 1 ounce.WOW. No wonder getting a bargain at the cost of $2.08 for 1 ounce. Most places the 1 ounce are $2.50 each.LynnS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wickerstix Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I had been in contact with angel (the owner),she seemed really nice,and was trying really hard to listen to what the customers wanted.I do know they will ship however you want them to,if you ask them.They did with mine.And they are not a very big company,but like some hometown hole in the wall rests.(mom& pop diners)Sometimes,they have some of the best scents.I had mentioned that I would really like to see them keep the name.They had considered changing it since they were in Indiana,I think?I absolutely love the mixture of the baby powder oil,so strong,but that mean you dont have to use so much.ANd the butterscotch is so awesome!Shipping was real reasonable.

8-GRAN-ONES Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 All their emails to me have been very very nice..I can't believe how fast they got my order out..I ordered late Sat. night so I know that they could not doanything about shipping until Monday..And my Tracking # says it will be here May 1st..Now that is fast....And I did look at the shipping notice..for my order it was 2lb...so I won't complain about the shipping...and especially how fast I am getting it...From Indiana..to Calif...Can't wait...I will update on OOB..and let you know how they do in my 415...

Sharon in KY Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I order all the scents I loved and the OLD owners were OOS. Getting ready to order again, hope they are around for along time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
