Yeah

I knew it wouldn't take long at all. I usually order from MMS but I have also ordered from Camden Gray and I was looking through the links on the reference thread. They are some really great sites on there with good prices. Might be worth your time and money to comb through there and see what you can find.

And Breconbcs I would also be more then happy to help with the whole feedback thing on the basket

Thank you all! If I know my sister, she'll give most of these soaps away to "potential" customers - her friends. She did that with the melt and pours I gave her to decorate with. lol

I submitte my sales tax application a few minutes ago and now I have to play the waiting game for the approval. DH told me that I couldn't get any oils with this paycheck and now he told me I more then likely won't get any with the next one either

I'm just asking for coconut and olive oils t the least but that darn Florida vacation screwed us up more then I thought it would. Sorry for the rant I'm just panacking because of the FM and I need to get back to soaping asap. I'll be selling 6 or7 bars in the next day or two then I can go to Wally world and pick up some oils. Am I just worrying to much? I tend to do that.

Ok.. here's a poll. In your opinion which essential oil supplier has the BEST essential oils. Is most consistent between orders, most fragrant, best value for the dollar, etc... you know what I mean!

It's been so long since I have ordered any oils... but I plan on ordering a few.

 

[insiderart]

Oh and I can't find any MMS on that list...

Oh it's on now! And it's all your own fault! So no whining..

When I charge sales tax canI just add that into the price of each item or should I wait if the person is buying more then one item? I'm wondering if I can just put the cost of tax into the cost of the item and just say that the price includes the tax already.

Your market starts in June, right? How long does it run for? I'm so excited for you, I bet you will love it. I really enjoy doing the farmer's market.

I know things were slim for us after our trip to San Diego in '07. I couldn't believe how much cash we went through just eating out. You could try an all lard so if you have that, maybe with some castor for extra bubbles?

I asked our states comtroller's office and they said I just include the sales tax in the price, but I had to let the customers know that I was collecting tax. So at the market I put a little * by the price and then say "Tax Included"​

I have been very happy with my EO's from Essential Oil University The peppermint (USA) is to die for. I will order eo's from them now. Their shipping is very fair too. I've also gotten eo's from Brambleberry, Camden Grey and Wholesale supplies plus. I wasn't pleased with Camden Gey's because they sent it a plastic bottel in stead of glass and I had to transfer, but the quality was fine. Downside to EOU, they don't have all their oils in the smaller sizes.
