gingerinarkansas Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I have spent the last couple of days on the computer, reading posts and trying to figure out which company to order oils from. I live in Arkansas and we don't have any candle supply companies close so I will be out shipping on anything I order. I have ordered from a couple of smaller companies in Texas and have been fairly satisified. Also used Aztec in Tennessee and Soap and Candles. (I love their oils but customer service is a BIG issue with SNC). Are there any Arkies or OKies out there that could give an opinion on getting the bang for your buck.

babyrn Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I'm an Okie, and unfortunately almost everything I order is not close by. You will probably find once you start doing this more, your favorites will be at different suppliers. Start out with samples and then when you find what you like, buy in bulk to save on shipping. I order alot from BCN, Peaks, Just Scent, and the Candle Source. You will probably just have to accept the fact that shipping is going to kill you. Good luck!

Lorrie Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 You could try looking under the suppliers by state. It will give who is in or around your state. I am not in Ark or Ok. But I do ship all over;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockmonkey Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Columbusfoods.com (in IL) has good pricing on oils (not fragrance) and shipping is not outrageous (at least to my area).Tonysfragranceoils.com (GA) has good fragrances. I think Aztec is a good source for fragrance oils too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shafferbuns Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 you could give candlechem on ebay a try, they have good shipping rates and if you order 6 or more 2oz scents, shipping is free. thecandlesource.com has really good shipping rates too.

Tammy1048 Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 You could try Green Leaf.....they might not be too far from you. I love all their oils and their 70/30 Perfect Blend is a must have....LOL....and Brenda is great with customer service.....by far the best I have dealt with. Here is the site link: http://www.greenleafcandlesupply.com/I have spent the last couple of days on the computer, reading posts and trying to figure out which company to order oils from.

sudsnwicks Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 At Peak there is a discount if you get 5 or more bottles (any size). This discount helps to offset some of the shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerinarkansas Posted March 23, 2006 Author Share Posted March 23, 2006 Thanks everyone for your advice. I will be checking out some of these places. I received my order today from SNC and they smell so wonderful. Shipping was alot faster this time than in the past and I just can't keep my noise out of the bottles. I also received 4 samples which was great. Here's my list that I received:Birthday CakeBlackberry Sage-wowBlue SkiesCucumber Mint-another good oneJelly BeansPink Sugar Aquolina Type-this is differentRaspberry Tomato Leaf-I've ordered this before and I really like itRosemary Mint- another wowStrawberry JamStrawberry MelonI also received samples of Little Black Dress, Angel Food Cake, Issey Miyake Pour Homme type( I think I like this one), and Childhood. This week is spring break and I have my 6 year old grandson so candle making will have to wait till the weekend but I am ready. This is like Christmas in March. Wow, I am excited. Thanks to all who responded. I really appreciate any and all advice. Ginger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
