I know I posted about this a few weeks ago , but I would like to know what online supplier has everything ? I looked at some stores and they do not carry a full variety of EO. I was also looking for the best price etc...

Id buying EO of ebay a good idea ? what about the soap bases ? I seen soap bases for sale on ebay.
 
I would say that the supplier that has the best variety in EO's and carrier oils is New Directions. They also carry bases. Their quality is excellent and their prices are better than most.

I personally wouldn't buy oils from E-Bay unless you know the reputation of the seller. So many times I've come across people who got a "deal" on EO's only to find out later that they are Fragrance oils, not Essential Oils, or the EO's have been diluted or are substandard.

That's my opinion but others may disagree.
 
Hey Roxy,
I'm sorry, but I don't think any supplier has everything. There is a list of FO suppliers on the Alabaster scent review forum.
My opinion is that it's better to have multiple suppliers anyway, as you're way to dependent when you rely on just one.
They could stop their business, stop carrying your favorite smell, be late with deliveries, raise prices... And with two or even three you have much more choice to experiment and decide which scent you want to carry in your line.
Good luck with fighting your new scent addiction :lol:
 
I could do all of my shopping at www. wholesalesuppliesplus.com if I was forced to choose only 1 supplier.
 
I've done way too much research

As usual I have investigated enough different suppliers to make myself sick and tired of anything soapmaking. I can say without a doubt that New Directions has the best prices, and most number of choices for eo's and fo's among other soap making ingrediants out there. I would not buy my carrier oils, ie co, oo, po, or any of the ones you are using a lot of as I have found the prices cheaper locally. Also, their shipping rates are fair, they charged me 30 dollars for shipping 500 dollars worth of product with an approximate weight of 6 KG's.
 
WSP for me, but I couldn't soap without Columbus Foods and Texas Naturals, either.
 
I also have several suppliers. Each has something different. Plus one supplier may have a FO thats much better then the other. I purchase from several stores here in Florida, but we have another favorite FO that I have to order from Oregon.

OMG thank you for that Vendor I went to their website but could not remember the name this was the vendor I was trying to find again ! thank you

I should have been more specific in my post. I was looking for a online vendor with a wide variety of EO and FO. Some of the websites I look at only have a few available. I have seen some websites not listed but I am not sure if they are good prices.

Like If I found a vendor with lots of soap bases and another with many eo to choose from I am cool with that. I don't want to be buying Eo from different vendors and waste all this money on shipping. :D

You're welcome, Roxy. I love New Directions but I don't buy everything from them either. I have two other supplliers that I use as well. It's never a good idea to put all your eggs in one basket :D
