glowworm Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I am so bummed...just went to order these portion cups and was told they have been discontinued from the manufacturer. Does anyone have any other suggestions for replacing them other than the standard round ones from sams or walmart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorelei Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I see them still available, where were you buying them from? I hope this isn't so!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B@BlissStreet Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I did an online chat with Webstaurantstore.com and the rep said they have not heard of a discontinuation.

jackbenimble Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Does anyone know the best Avery labels to use with these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorelei Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Jack I'd like to know that because I ordered some labels by the sheet and they end up peeling off!! I'm not happy with my labels right now for these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glowworm Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 I get them from the webstaurant store as well. I normally order the 1 ounce cups and when I went to order them yesterday I got an email stating they didn't have enough in the warehouses to fill my order. I havent had that happen before so I called them to check on when I could expect them and she told me that they were being discontinued by the manufacturer. So after I got off the phone I checked the website and sure enough they had been taken off but the 2 ounce cups were still there so I ordered them. Thought everything was fine until I got another email again stating they didn't have enough to fill my order. I didn't get a chance to call them about this but I'm scared now that these too are going to be discontinued.I will keep you all posted when I get in touch with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glowworm Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 Good news. I just got off the phone with them and they said that the 1 ounce has been discontinued but the 2 ounce has not....its just out of stock. I am in desperate need of these so I hope they get them in quickly.Does anyone know of another good place to purchase these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorelei Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Huge bummer!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudMarineMom Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Say it ain't so!!! These are great little containers for melts. And, for inexpensive samples. Guess I'll have to go with the 2 oz, bummer. I'm with you Paul and Lorelei, haven't found a label yet that sticks very well to them either on the lid or on the side. Haven't tried a waterproof label yet. I have a hard time getting those off the sheet. Maybe they would stay better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaturallyTru Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 I can't believe that us candle makers have not been able to keep sales up on the 1oz! WTH?Is it the oval 1oz or the round 1oz? Natural or black? I need use oval black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judy, USMC Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I've been in contact with The WebRestaurantStore and they say they have enough of the Ellipso (oval) other sizes (2oz and up) and are expecting another shipment soon. The 1oz clear oval are discontinued by the manufacturer. They have some 1oz black oval in stock ... but they haven't been able to tell me if the manufacturer is discontinuing them also. I have contacted the manufacturer and they will call me back on Monday. I'm hoping to talk them into doing one last run so those of us who need them can stock up. If they are willing to do a last run I'll get the minimum number and maybe we can do a co-op. Keep your fingers crossed .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorelei Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Count me in on the coop, but someone may need to email me as I'm traveling out of the country for 9 days after Tues! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbenimble Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I would be interested in a coop also. I'd prefer the 1oz black oval as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudMarineMom Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I generally use the 1oz clear oval. But, I can use black if that is the consensus. Count me in on the co-op. Lorelei, send one of us your email address and we will keep in contact. Thanks, Judy, for talking to the manufacturer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeoplum Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Has anyone ever sold clear ovals and black ovals at the same time to see how customers respond. Just wondering which one would be more appealing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorelei Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I've only sold the clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorelei Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Did we find out anything? If we don't end up being able to get the 1 oz anymore I am thinking of saving some portion cups to pour some "testers" in but how would you package them without the cup? Would it be worth it even? These were so great to put in as freebies! Hate they are dc'ing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeoplum Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I did a LOT of searching for online vendors who might still have the clear 1 oz. ellipso's in stock and this was the only one I could find:http://www.foodservicefiresale.com/Ellipso_1_oz_Clear_Oval_Plastic_Portion_Cups_p/nwse1001.htmBut they don't have the lids so I bet that is why they haven't sold out yet. You can get the lids from webstraurant.com so if you really wanted to stock up on what appears to be the last of the batch, you have an option.

Judy, USMC Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I've sent messages to the manufacturer ... and a call that wasn't returned. Will try again ........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacktieaffair Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Bumping this ! Was wondering if there had been any word.. I was seriously considering switching a ton of "limited run" scents, into these cups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judy, USMC Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 After repeated attempts I still have not received any info from the manufacturer. Still trying ... but things don't look too good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacktieaffair Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Well dang, thanks for trying so hard Judy.Is there another product/type and label that you recommend for these scent shots? I keep reading that people have issues with finding labels, and then with getting them to actually stick. Just like with everyone else , I have limited funds to mess with, and I'd be devastated if I bought something that wouldn't work for various reasons, and, that I couldn't return.

Lorelei Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I simply love these cups they are perfect for us, hate we are losing them. I'm using them for everything too even organization! Oh well. I'll still carry the clear 2 oz ones. I may just make samples and package them in another way as "freebies" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judy, USMC Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Supposedly there is a round polypro (Recycle code 5) that is the traditional round shape and is clear. I have yet to find out if the cap is also polypro or another type of plastic. It is very clear so I suspect it may be a 6. More info to come next week ...
