Scented Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I wanted to say a hell of a lot less than you and then I counted -- 25 isn't a hell of a lot less lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Oy! That's a LOT of suppliers. I've pared down to about 10 regular suppliers, only three or four regulars for fragrances. The supplier had to have some pretty stellar stuff to make the list. It was hard choosing which to drop, but in the end it saves a lot of time and $.

Kitn Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I use 5 suppliers and buy in bulk, with prices the way they are this is the best way to keep my cost down, plus I live in Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAgirl89 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I use four supplies for FO.Nature's GardenMidwestCandle ScienceMiami ErieThe only time I would go outside of these four is if I'm testing for a new scent. Then I buy sample sizes from about 8 suppliers and test till I find the one that works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debra Phelps Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I did use 12 continously. But I narrowed mine down too. I think I am using 7 now. Much easier. NGs, Millcreek, Starrville, Lone Star, Candle Science, Candle Wic, KY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysWondering Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 I should probably add that I carry about 300 scents, I make tarts only. That might put 27 suppliers in perspective. Or maybe not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
