lots_n_more Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I am going to be moving to Alabama in about 6 months now. I was just wondering if anyone knows of good places to get wax down there and fo's, b&b, just about everything. I was looking at the suppliers by state but I havent heard of most of them so just wondering who is good. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyinala Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 I am in Alabama and buy most of my supplies from Alabaster. Excellent customer service. Good luck on your move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alajane Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 I, too, buy all my wax and jars there. They usually have some of the best prices I've seen on wax, but you have to buy 5 pounds of fragrance to get the good price, and I believe you can buy up to 4 cases of wax per 5-pound fragrance purchase (I haven't checked in a while, but it's something like that). The owners (Todd & Daryl) and a guy named Mike (I'm not sure what his position is, but he's extremely nice) are great to work with and are very helpful with answering any questions.My business isn't big enough to order by the pallet, so I go every few months (it's a 3.5-hour drive for me--about halfway through the state) and get a pickup load of wax and jars (with a few other items, too) to save on shipping.And, by the way, welcome--hope you love it here!Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lots_n_more Posted September 14, 2006 Author Share Posted September 14, 2006 I lived there a while ago. It is beautiful country. Can you mix and match the 5 pounds of fos to get the discount? Thanks everyone for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alajane Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Oh, yes--I believe it does have to be in 1-pound increments, though, not including the 8-oz or smaller bottles.What part of the state are you moving to? I'm in the northwestern corner--the Shoals area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lots_n_more Posted September 14, 2006 Author Share Posted September 14, 2006 Moving to Prattville. Cant wait to get away from the snow!!Just have to get used to the driving down there. It is nice looks like I will only be 45 minutes from alabaster. That will be great to be able to go and pick my wax up!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alajane Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Oh, lucky you!! Only 45 minutes from Alabaster and that much closer than I am to Gulf Shores (my favorite place in the world)!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lots_n_more Posted September 14, 2006 Author Share Posted September 14, 2006 Yeah I can't wait. I am going to go crazy waiting to move down there. I wish I could just pick up and move now. I miss it already, just got back a few days ago and miss it already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
