deb426 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Since containers and wax are your heaviest supplies, if you can find a local supplier that allows you to pick your order up, you will save a lot of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esgaisford Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 ahh i see. i was thinking of just using the dollar store or walmart or even yard sales! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricofAZ Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I found a dollar store that can order a specific container locally and it takes 2 days if they are in the warehouse. It really is the way to go if the store can get you more. As for the wax, the shipping has a lot to do with how far away you are. I found that Genwax and LoneStarCaneles are the two closest to where I live and they have the best shipping rates for wax. Actually, the rates are quite affordable. I think Lonestar wanted $28 for 60 pounds of wax. So even if another company "might" have a sale or a lower price on wax, if it is too far away, the shipping will be much higher.

chuck_35550 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Tumblers are always in style and plentiful. Lids are usually not available but you can cover with a piece of the sealing saran wrap that sticks and then remove it if you are gifting or selling. I think starting with jelly jars makes the most sense and if you don't like the lids you can buy them almost anywhere for about .25 cents apiece from a distributor. HTH.
