Sharon44 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I just placed 5 cases of jars in the shopping cart and got an estimate of $39. and some change for shipping:shocked2:So,,, I emptied the cart. Do any of you know if the cart figures high? I really need some of the tall prayer candle jars and they are the only place I can find them.

NaturallyTru Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Comes to $30.42 for me in MI. Fillmore will give you the best quantity of cases to buy for shipping. In this case it would be 6 cases. $32.52/6 cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanetsCandles Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I end up purchasing mine from General Wax. They have better shipping and pricing overall for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon44 Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 Thanks for the lead on General Wax. I've never purchased from them but those jars are exactly what I need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcbrook Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I have noticed their shipping charges are a little high for me too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 With Fillmore you get the best shipping prices buying in bulk quantities easily shipped by UPS. UPS is their shipper. Try ordering 6 cases instead of 5. Or call them for a price quote. You can save a lot of money that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsg Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Wholesale Suppies Plus has free shipping. Their prices may seem high initially, but once you compare the total cost of another site, Wholesale Supplies Plus seems to be quite a bit cheaper.

If you buy several things, you're paying shipping over & over & over.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChandlerWicks Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I could drive over within 45 minutes & visit my 1st candle supplier. But once I read thru the site & saw the shipping scam, not doing it! What a shame, some of the reviews on here are wonderful about her products.

Candybee Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 If I remember correctly you still pay the same price whether you pick up or have it shipped. Thats the rub cause they have the shipping worked into their products. Thus the so called "free shipping." So multiple products you pay multiple shipping even when you pick up. That's just not right.

lsg Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 By going to more than one site, it is fairly easy to figure what the cost of products from other sites plus shipping would be compared to the total cost of whatever is in your cart at Wholesale Supplies Plus. If it cheaper at another site, I buy from there. If you are buying several cases of jars, the weight is a killer for shipping, so it makes sense to buy where the cost and shipping are less.
