MarcyHK Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Hi, all.I live smack in the middle of Manhattan in NYC and I'm wondering if there are any other New Yorkers here who have a fairly local supplier for wax, wicks, etc.As a hobby candle maker I get so annoyed at having to pay large shipping fees when I'm only buying small quantities or a few items at a time.Local stores like Michael's, Lee's Art, Pearl Paint, etc. either don't have supplies or are ridiculously expensive for the limited items they have.I checked the "Supplier By State" list and didn't see anything...

Starr Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I could've sworn there was a supplier in or around Staten Island. *goes to check her stuffs* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I have a similar problem in Virginia. I have to order supplies from out of state. But there are suppliers on the east coast;Pennsylvania has: Candles and Supplies; Candlewic; Backwoods; Tri-State Candle Supply; Early American Candle Co.; Fillmore ContainersNew Jersey has: Farmhouse Candle SupplyNo. Carolina has: Candle ScienceI order from many of these but my favs with the fastest shipping and prices, customer service, etc are C&S, Fillmore, Backwoods, and CS.

Starr Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Nope, wasn't Staten Island. It was Brooklyn, not sure how I mistook the two. http://www.saveonscents.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcyHK Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 Thanks for the ideas.I hadn't known about Saveonscents.com, I'll definitely check them out.Most of the supplies I've ordered are from Peak, Candle Science and I've recently tried Candles and Supplies.

topofmurrayhill Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 There's onestopcandle.com, but I seldom order anything from there because the more distant suppliers are better. Also no sales tax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcyHK Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 Thanks, ToMH.I hadn't come across onestopcandle.com but I see they are quite limited.I guess I will have to accept that quality, selection and no sales tax balance out with shipping charges over the long run!
