So, did I enter the wrong one?

And I feel guilty taking $$$, so I give it all away.

Well, I mean, it's not $2.50/bar worth of magic. ;)

Sigh...story of my life... Nah, I get that. I brand new to all this. Just trying to figure it all out. I assumed about $1.25/bar. $2.50+ just sat me back on my haunches a bit. True that. It's sort of regional for me. We have tons of friends in our community who would buy, and I can...

This is a very reasonable compromise. It's certainly how the soap suppliers do it... e.g free shipping for orders over $50. My issue is the cost of shipping compared to the price of the product. Of course, the other option, which someone mentioned earlier, is to "share" the shipping with the...

Have any of you guys tried "subscription" services whereby you send our a certain number of bars on a regular basis for an annual fee? It's crazy popular---at least with my wife. :rolleyes: No, seriously, she does enjoy a couple of them for cosmetics, and we do a couple for (bootleg) wine from...

Have any of you guys tried "subscription" services whereby you send our a certain number of bars and/or other products on a regular basis for an annual fee? It's crazy popular for other products---at least with my wife. :rolleyes:No, seriously, she does enjoy a couple of them for cosmetics, and...

Kudos to your local PO--gotta love small town life. We may be saying them same thing. The Woocommerce tutorial I was watching recommended, using your example, to simply increase your price per bar by the $3.75 and list the item as "Free Shipping." Supposedly, people perceive higher value that...

My kids were both the same way--crazy smart, but college is a different deal...lot's of freedom, and less structure often leads to wasted time. Our daughter is my hero. She was diagnosed with bipolar at the end of her freshman year, and we almost lost her to an eating disorder (Bipolar usually...

I agree, but according to all the experts, most customers want shipping included in the cost of the product. In fact, most people will supposedly pay MORE for shipping if it's built in the cost of the product. It's a psychological thing, I guess but people are averse to paying for "shipping."...

Artemis...I'm just seeing this...my prayers are a little late to the game, so let's just pay them forward to next semester.

Thanks for the feedback. These were freebies for my mom, so a little banging is ok, the I was shocked. How does anybody make a any money when the shipping costs more than the soap? If you don't mind my asking for a ball-park, what is your break-even on that (i.e. how many bars do you have to...

I just paid USPS over $5 to mail 2 5oz bars from MS to AL with minimal packaging—mylar shipping envelope and 2 pieces of card stock.. Is that reasonable? Is there a cheaper method?

Agreed. 100%.

Thanks, Dani, I really do love this technique and the results. I think it’s fluid and graceful. I was so hoping to be able to recreate it consistently (i.e. replicate the design and color scheme) in hopes that once I promote my website it will become a regular item that people will request.

Good luck everybody! Scents in this bar are FO’s—a new think for me. I used WSPs Patchouli - Sandalwood and Orange EO.

Very cool. Looks like wheat.

I’m honest I’m not sure. My grocer has had fresh aloe Vera for the past few weeks, but they always have the bottled juice.

Tried to duplicate a swirl from a few months ago. Pretty much dead on it!
