Great experience - New Directions Aromatics (Canada)

[SoapEh]

I was searching for a new place to buy some essential oils and fragrances and looked here, and found the company New Directions Aromatics. Thought I'd check them out, since I'm in Canada and we're a bit more limited up here for vendors (compared to the US soapers).

I got my shipment last night and all I have to say is wow. 10/10 WILL BUY AGAIN. The prices were good, the service was good, shipping was reasonably fast (as fast as another vendor *when I pay for faster packing and faster shipping*) and best of all the products came packaged so well they could have traveled overseas.

Let me clarify. The things I ordered were wrapped up so well they could have been strapped to a board, tethered behind a bad-tempered donkey and dragged through a field of rocks, then loaded onto a ship where they spent three days rolling back and forth in an old, battered pirate's chest, thrown off the ship and into the water, scooped up, taped onto the wings of a small plane, tossed from the air into a field laden with small land mines, blown up, gathered, kicked into a box, taped up, and delivered to my home and been just fine.

Oh, and the scents are HEAVENLY. There's that, too.

So, yeah, props to this company is what I'm trying to say.

Agreed on all fronts. NDA’s packaging was so good that even though one bottle leaked (badly sealed), there was nothing outside that wrapped package. I complained about the leak, sent pics, and the company made it right. Will definitely buy again.

Dahila, have you ever used Cranberry Lane in BC? Just wondering if they are as good as the others you mentioned? I know they've been in business a long time -- as long as I've been soaping!

No I had never hear about them but will check them up Thank you
I checked them up and they do not have a lot of ingredients I use. Not good selection. Maybe they are good but very expensive comparing to other suppliers

I, too, love NDA and I'm in the States. Even shipping from Canada, their freight charge always seems to be far better than any of the Western US outfits--by a lot.
