Yeah, I think that's where we got ours from when I lived there. Really fine folks.

We buy locally because I am a miser on shipping costs. Our current local supplier in Oakland is Pacific Chemical in Berkeley, but we had another really great supplier in Los Angeles when I lived there. We buy in 50# bags.

Do it! I even made a google form for them to submit their feedback to: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dHYtR2ctX29tUUxsMlNMVF9vSkltVVE6MQ#gid=0 I did ultimately abandon that because it seemed like overkill for the side notes of 10 people (and for the soaps that we have for...

I think that's a great idea as long as there's a lot of foot traffic in the store. For the one in the Haight that we're considering selling to, I think that's perfect! Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks for this thread! We were just talking to a shop owner in the Haight about carrying some of our soaps. He wanted to do a consignment deal, but given his clientele (tourists, mostly), I didn't think it would be good to offer any kind of consignment at all. My husband didn't agree. He said...

One side note that I was amazed and excited to find out... you can go on USPS.com and order free priority mail boxes. Free is a pretty dang good price. :)

I use stamps.com and found it a lifesaver. I ship about 40 or so orders per month and it's really great to be able to just print out everything at home and have the tracking info all stored in one place. I also email the customer from stamps.com pro when I send out their order. Where I live...

I tried it. It was a mess. Hi there. I'm new to this forum but was doing a search for Whiskey soap and found this thread so thought I'd share my experience. DON'T DO IT. Or, rather, do it, but expect to lose a lot of perfectly good whiskey. Also, you'll make a toxic mess...
