GKC Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I just placed an order this week. They carry an oil that I haven't been able to find anywhere else but it seems to be taking a long time to ship. It's been 3 days and it still shows pending.

macnmyer Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Oh I like her stuff. Her pink grapefruit, BRV AND Ginger lime are really good. I have tried a couple of others but I can't remember them right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pj'snana Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I have ordered from her and I have been very happy with all the products and customer service. That is where I got my Axe dupe's that my son likes. Dorothy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutlandishLady Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 She's a sweetie The shipping may be a bit slow right now as her Dad passed away very recently, and I believe she had to travel to the funeral.I love her Euphoria, Pink Grapefruit, Axe Touch, Bergamot Coriander... and a few others, lol.

wvcandlecrazy Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 I just got an e-mail from Kerri at Serendipities and this is what it said~~I know this is going to come as a shock and probably a disappointment to many, but after long and careful consideration I have decided to no longer operate Serendipities Scents & Supplies as a full-time supply source.Some of you know I was contemplating getting out of the supplies business last fall, but after my family committed to helping me with it, I decided to stay in. However I do not enjoy the supplies business... I get no satisfaction from it, and to be quite frank it is a lot of work for absolutely no pay. And with all of the things I have had going on in my personal life, most recently the death of my father, I have decided that life is way too short to continue doing things that you don't enjoy, especially when you don't get anything out of it. I have done some serious and blatantly honest soul-searching and accept the fact that I'm not getting anything out of it to make it worth my while.And when I say I don't get anything out of it, I mean not only monetarily but also emotionally. I find no pleasure in any aspect of the supplies business (except in relating to my customers). In fact it has come to the point where I almost resent it because it takes time away from other things that I could be doing that I enjoy... like making candles or soaps.I also don't enjoy having thousands of dollars invested in inventory in oils that just sit here until someone buys them. Since most of you are business owners yourself, I'm sure you can relate to that. There are other things I would rather do with that money than have it sit out in my warehouse and stare at it. I have two options that I am looking at as far as where to go from here, and would like your input as to what you, as my customers, would like to see happen. I care about your opinions and you are all valued by me and no matter what happens, I will make sure that the oils don't just disappear entirely and you can't get them anymore. Here are the two options I would like your opinions on:1. I will do 4 buys per year on specific fragrance oils, not keeping any inventory stocked for future sales, so you'd need to order enough to last you for a while! I know of other ladies who do this, like Lezlee at Simple Soothings, and Tina of Scents & Supplies, and it seems to work well for them, so it is an option.OR2. Entrust my oils with another supplier. This one is a bit difficult because I am very picky about what suppliers I would even consider placing my oils with, or selling to. And, there are a couple oils that would no longer be available, because they were shared with me by other people, and even though the manufacturer now looks at them as 'mine' and could technically be transferred, to me it's not the same.So, those are the two choices and I would really like to hear your thoughts on how you feel about each one. Please note that these are the only two choices... I have really made up my mind that I no longer want to do this full time and instead want to concentrate on things that I enjoy or that I get some sort of fulfillment out of. I still may do a co-op now and then for something I am needing myself, but I am no longer going to be a full-time supplier or keep any stocked inventory for sale.I will continue with my retail candle and soap business, and am looking forward to concentrating on that and expanding it more. This also means I will have more time that I can play with the rest of you in swaps and other fun activities like that! I am also going to take the opportunity to go back to school, which I am looking forward to!The current prebuy on fragrance oils is canceled immediately, and the customers who have placed orders will be refunded their money. IMPORTANT: !! The co-op on Bali Sea Salts IS NOT CANCELLED, we have MORE than enough to meet the minimum and they will be ordered on February 5th as originally scheduled. The honey powder that was previously on prebuy is due to be delivered to me on Monday, so it will be shipping out to those who ordered it next week.I guess that's about it for right now... this weekend I will begin preparing to sell off all remaining oils in stock and putting them on clearance, while supplies last!Again, please give me some feedback and let me know what you would like to see done. Not only are you my customers, but many of you are trusted friends and some I even consider as close as family, so your input is important to me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~So I thought I would let you all in on what I knew~Sue Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
