Why is shipping so high?

[debra062013]

Thanks I will look at their site.

I really like Camden Grey. They are in Florida. There is also Tennessee Candle which I've heard good things about, but I haven't tried them. Unfortunately CG doesn't have charcoal. But I like their natural products - EOs, fixed oils, herbs.

I have found AC (capsules) at Whole Foods and Publix. They both carry Avocado oil, too. I didn't think is was too expensive when I bought it. Of course, I only bought a small (4 fl oz) sized bottle to experiment with. I made a two pound batch and used the whole bottle.

Nature's Garden is in Ohio. I think their prices and shipping charges are fair and their customer service is very good. http://www.naturesgardencandles.com/

Who do the folks on the East side of the country order from?...

I've ordered from Camden Grey and it came fairly fast. I've also ordered from http://www.soap-making-resource.com. the shipping is a little high but You can catch a good deal to make it worth it (I got free 2lbs of shea butter when I ordered). Both are fairly fast for me and I'm in the NE of the states.

If I want to make only a small order I usually buy from Bulk Apothecary. Gets to me faster too.

It is also worth pointing out that a lot of these sites charge a minimum shipping fee for a simple reason. Lets say just for arguments sake that you just wanted to order one item priced at $3.00. If they charged only nominal shipping fees it would not be cost effective for them to pay one of their employees to pack and ship one item. Such an order may even LOSE them money.
