TxSioux Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I've never ordered much from LS (last order was about 2 yrs ago), so wanted to share a few things that really set this last order apart. My order was all wicks, but I added on a fo sample. I always expect the worst w/ fo's, cause I think we've all had at least one order w/ a leaking, or open lid. When I opened the lid to sniff, I was surprised to find that the bottle had a silver seal - the kind you usually can't peel back to save your life & end up cutting open - lol. Does any other supplier send out their fo's like this? That's a huge plus! Also, the order was placed on Tues & UPS was at my door on Wed - standard delivery. I'm only about 90 miles from LS, but that still ranks as great customer service in my book.Susan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravens Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I'm roughly a 4-hr drive away from LS, but they ship quickly and their service is excellent. Unfortunately I do not have much luck at all with their FOs :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SliverOfWax Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Ditto ravens. Few of their FO are worth the $$.I did recently get a couple of pounds of FO and also noticed the difference in packaging. I get my jars from them and it only added about .25¢ to throw in a couple lbs of FO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DebTX Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 HMMMMM....their French Market and Leather are top throwers in my wax. They also have some of the truest smelling wine fragrances out there IMO. And their stuff is always in stock. Also, their showroom is top notch! The cleanest I have seen so far. That's a big deal to me when you sell soap supplies too, whether it's melt and pour or all of the oils. Owner went above and beyond and held the place open for us as we were stuck in traffic and needed to pick up our large order several months back. Hubby just got back from there today. Can you tell I think they are fabulous????!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen M Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I have used LS and they have great CS, I like several of their oils, Leather, flowering dogwood, sea petals, I haven't ordered from there in a long time, but I probably will in the future. They have a large selection of supplies. I really like their liquid dyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SliverOfWax Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 (edited) You'll find a few good fo in the bunch. They are typical of big suppliers who carry a large selection of scents but don't test.For a much better leather, try Wildfire's Cowboy Up. IMO. Yes, their liquid dyes are the best. I've gone to undyed, but when I do dye, I use theirs. Yes, they have a lovely showroom. And yes, they rarely go out of stock on anything. I just find their oils to be common and mediocre.But that's just me. Edited April 15, 2011 by SliverOfWax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyme1911 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I order my wax & Wicks from them and I love the fact that I receive them the next day. I also tried a few FO's and none of them knocked my socks off so I don't order FO's from them. My candles normally do not have dye, but if someone requests it I use LS liquid dye, it is nice to work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorelei Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 For those of you saying Lonestar dye is nice to work with, did you try other liquid dyes? I'm asking because I'm not completely satisfied with the dyes but have not tried others. I actually had another post about this. I too am a HUGE Lonestar fan and have been in their wonderful showroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcbrook Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Well, I am going to get on the Lone Star bandwagon here. They have the best prices in the jars I use and I use a few of their FOs because they are great throwers for me. It is the same with all the suppliers though, some of the FOs are great and then there are the not so great ones. A few gems at every supplier.

I too am a HUGE Lonestar fan and have been in their wonderful showroom.I bought both CS liquid dye and Lonestar's. I liked Lonestar's packaging better but they both work the same to me and are easy to work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SliverOfWax Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Yes, I've used liquid dyes from other companies, but it's been so long ago I don't remember which ones. A couple at least have gone out of business. JC's? In the Dallas area? I think that was the name. Peak. I can't remember which others. Lone Star dyes are far superior to any others I've used.

CandleAddict_RN Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Glad to hear some good reviews on Lone Star's liquid dyes:smiley2: The liquid dye's I inherited are all JC's, which are apparently no longer around:sad2: So anything I can get from Lone Star and be happy with is a good thing with them being only a 45 minute drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbenimble Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I order my wicks, wax, jars, and lids from LS. I love them! I also use their Autumn Harvest FO. The best fall scent ever IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugtussle Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Lone Star is one of my top FO suppliers. carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
