ladysj Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I'm not having much luck finding the types of boxes I want without having to order 100's at a time. I had a link once for a place that made crates for candles but alas it's gone. Does anyone know where I can find these or something similar?http://www.lightthewick.com/candle-gift-crates-p-988.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovemylabs Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 OK, was just wondering about Sugar Creek Crates. After I saw the post, I checked out their site and couldn't believe how cheap they are. So, I placed an order. That was last week. So I'm waiting for them to get back with me on shipping charges and payment (as that is what their site said they would do). Does anyone know if this company is legit? If they aren't, it seems kinda odd they would still have a website for which they are paying for a domain name and hosting, if they aren't going to actually follow through on orders. Maybe I just need to be a little more patient. Maybe I'm used to excellent service from our candle suppliers and think everybody is that way. Besides, maybe they have to make them special order the way we do some of our orders. But...any insight anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaxxcandles Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Looks like just a yahoo email address and no street address. Has anyone ever successfully placed an order with them?Jackie http://jaxxcandles.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aunt Bee Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Sugar Creek hasn't done crates in years. The site was closed last time I checked...not sure why it's up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B@BlissStreet Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Thanks to all that replied to this post. Odd that they are still an active email reply addy. Thought Yahoo would boot you after so long...:sad2:just goes to show, when it's too good to be true, it quacks like a duck! hehehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I alerted them today and found they are working on a new site that will replace the crate site and never dreamed anyone would still be trying to order after all these years. They are clearing the pages to prevent further confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol M Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Too bad; the Sugar Creek crates are (were) an amazing value and top notch quality, too. I thought she wasn't doing them anymore; then, when the link was given, thought maybe she had picked it back up. I still have several dozen that I ordered years ago; use a few here and there for donation raffles for the fire department, etc. Always a big hit.

I still have several dozen that I ordered years ago; use a few here and there for donation raffles for the fire department, etc. Always a big hit.Thank you Carol! I thought I'd better come apologize. It seems our front page got reopened recently by mistake and we found the back pages had never been closed. A few links of those were still floating around and then shared on several different sites. I think we have them all closed now.I'd love to still be offering the crates. DH and our son milled all the wood themselves keeping the cost down. Several factors contributed to closing the crate business including timber being much harder to find and more expensive along with my own candle and soap business becoming more demanding. Increased shipping was probably the biggest factor. They were very bulky to ship and shipping usually amounted to more than the cost of the crates.Believe it or not, I don't have a single crate or display left myself. If DH ever retires, we may start back up but no time soon.Thank you to everyone who bought from us and once again I apologize. My yahoo email addy is still in use and I've replied to any inquiries I've gotten but I haven't accessed the web site addy in years. Connie I'm sorry you didn't get my reply but congrats on doing it yourself...always a great feeling!There are many good crates manufacturers out there and another right here in my own state and she may be a member here. If I can find her addy I'll come back and post it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJ~SC Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Here are the links I mentioned. Hopefully they will help someone. I've never heard anything but good about both places. Ladysj this one is in Arkansas so should have the cheapest shipping for you.http://www.candlesandwoodcrafts.com/This one is the manufacturer of the famous "tank" soap cutter.http://www.forcraftssake.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
