Supplier Shout-Out
I've ordered supplies from soooo many places. Some places, the service was great, some - not so great. Some prices have been better then others, some shipping costs better or worse then others, and some of the supplies I've received have been stellar while others are mediocre.
Since everyone's needs/ location are different, people's experiences will be different with different suppliers, but for me, these particular suppliers have gone above and beyond and the products I've received were top-notch:
Snowdrift Farm - great quality, has shipped within 24 hours of my order every time, arrives safely and accurately.
Columbus Foods - quality grade oils; great prices on bulk purchasing, and order goes out that day usually (if you order before 12). The shipping costs get me because the orders are usually pretty heavy and I'm not too close to their location, but even factoring in shipping, their prices are still better then many others. Also, I've goofed up my order on more then one occasion and they've cheerfully and quickly corrected it for me.
Making Cosmetics - I stumbled across this site while I was doing some research on different products and have ordered a few times from them. They have shipped same day of order every time, the quality is great, and their packaging and labels make you feel like you are getting a steal (seems like it should cost more then it does!).
the Soap Jar - a place I was recommended to, and I can see why! The bottles I ordered were just what I had hoped for. I ended up emailing the owner back and forth with questions and she was extremely patient and helpful with my needs. My order was perfect, and my invoice included a little sample jar and a coupon for my next order (who doesn't love that?!).
Online Labels - this place has been great for me. Again, I've messed up my order and had to add things, subtract things, cancel all together and they've still treated me like a priority (cohearrant) customer. The labels I've received have been perfect, their pricing competitive and their shipping has always been quick. The templates provided for designing your labels have been accurate and useful, and they offer a trial of their 'label designer' program for free when you purchase (although I haven't tried it!).
Anyway, have fun browsing these sites; I hope your experience with them is as pleasant as mine has been! It's hard ordering online sometimes; you have to wait for it to get to you after you've already spent the money on whatever it is, and just hope it's what you wanted. With these places, I'm sure what I've ordered is what I needed/ wanted, and it will be at my doorstep quickly!
