doodlebug65 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 First off I have been using their Amish Friendship Bread for the last couple years. I received this order and it is clear in color (never was clear before) and almost no scent from OOB.There was a delay when receiving this last order and Angie said they cant keep it in stock it is one of their best sellers. Then I go to order this morning they have increased their prices again to $25.00 per bottle. $5.00 increase on all their oils? Any one else think that something is not right here? I think I will be looking elsewhere. Their oils are good, but they have let this go to their head and will price themselves right out of Business.

Their oils are good, but they have let this go to their head and will price themselves right out of Business.I have warned people about her business when I first joined this forum about 6 yrs ago when she was using the name Snowtop. I used to pick-up supplies from her, and I can tell you that you are correct. She does gets you hooked and then gouges,..sadly, some people fall for it and they will pay that,..not me.ETS: Have you looked at other companies to see if they sell the fragrances that you want besides AFB (I know a few companies that have that one). I know she blends alot of her own now, so wondering if you used any of those also?E again TS: Wow,..just visited her site,..so she is calling it "free shipping" and charging $25 for the FO and shipping. She is getting alot of extra $ charging that much extra to ship EACH bottle. YIKES!! Edited June 4, 2012 by leisa2003 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doodlebug65 Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 Thanks Leisa, I know that the AFB is just a different version of Zucc bread, so I can probably replace that one. Her Blackberry is the best I have tried. Any ideas where to get a great straight Blackberry thats not candy like? I Dont use any of her blends.

Her shipping is great too. http://candlesupplys.us/search.aspx?find=blackberryETS: You can also find some of Angie's (M.E.) fragrances from her previous business (Snowtop) at ICS also, just look for ST by the fragrance names.

leisa2003 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 (edited) Looks like your not the only one thats not to happy about this,.. if you read through the comments about her (M.E) Sugar Cookie Dough Bread price increase, they also think its bad business on her part for no advance notice.https://www.facebook.com/pages/Haleys-Heavenly-Scents/124455297596325 Edited June 4, 2012 by leisa2003 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Are you talking $25 for a lb of FO? Whats so odd about that? Lots of oils are that much and more. If its a good oil and works for you and your customers buy your products why change?!!As far as it being "clear" and having a different OOB scent did you check with them about it? They could have sent you the wrong oil or possible its been reformulated. You will only know by calling and asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunharbor Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I find it a bit more than rude to jack up the prices like that without any advanced notice to at least her existing customers...yes, I am one of them. I was actually on her website when all of a sudden before my eyes the prices changed!!! Imagine my surprise...LOL It's a pity because several of her oils are some of my best sellers...I will be unhappy to discontinue them unless I can somehow blend them myself. Since I pretty much stink at blending...which why for me it was better to buy them already mixed. Those prices are just too steep for me.

If it works for you or someone else thats great,..just alittle to steep for my business. I have never paid over $20 for a bottle of FO.

There is a ton of FOs I'd love to try but I'm unfortunately not at a place money wise that I can afford that much per lb myself. Maybe one day !!!

funkymonkey66 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I am anti-Miami Erie. She was giving samples away when she reopened as ME after she closed ST. I wouldn't even accept one with free shipping and all. I have no desire to try or buy anything she is selling for the reasons stated above. Too many suppliers out there that are reliable and don't compete against, under cut then gouge their customers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
