Glad I found a WA supplier! Paula in Everett Date = Thursday, November 29, 2007 hello, i just made your perfume recipe with beeswax and i love it. reading through these wonderful recipe made me stumble apon the unpetroleum jelly which suggests baby oil. but thats exactly the ingredient of baby oil. which really really sad. but i am sure a healthy oil would work just as good without the nasty "carsmell". didnt mean to complain, just thought you might have not noticed. i will definately try lots more of your recipes!!!! have a great day. kind regards Sanja
Hi Sanja, Those are just different recipes we have run across and thought we would pass along. Pete

You guys are amazing! 24 hours after my order-the wax is at my door! Thank you for the terrific service! Michelle

Hey Guys, Your candles are really popular here in Iraq. Everybody loves them, it keeps up morale here. The soldiers are always asking me for more candles. I get requests for more scents. I'll keep in touch more too. I came off leave last week, I was in Texas and had fun. SPC Laurie Suarez 63rd Ordnance Company Al Taqqaddum (We hope and pray for each of our Hero's in Iraq...and help when we can)
Replacement arrived in the mail today....I think you guys are faster than Netflix. Thanks so much. Jeanie

"Hi Pete! I have to tell you I'm impressed with your shipping speed! Wow! The wax arrived today. Thank you so much! I can't wait to try it out - I'm sure I'm going to be as impressed with the wax as I am so far with your customer service. :) Thanks again! Lori
Dear Mr. Davis: Thank you for responding to my question. I also wanted to say how pleased I was with my first ordering experience with your company. It was prompt and efficient. (So many other companies aren't!) Thanks, Gayle C
"Dear Swan Candles, I just recieved my shipment of 2 Yankee Candle Blueberry Muffin Lg. Jars. I am extremely pleased with my purchase and they came quickly, in perfect shape, and are exactly what I ordered. I will be ordering from you in the future. These candles are a surprise birthday present for my fiance who loves the Blueberry Muffin scent but, can no longer find it since it was discontinued. She will be surprised and will love them I am sure. Thank you. Sincerely, Matthew B
"Pete, Tell your Mom that I really feel good about the way you both have handled this sale and my complaint about the tarts. I think the two of you are a great example of what is really lacking today in the business world. I have found that so many times customer service means nothing and you have to deal with people that could really care less not realizing that it is a reflection of not only them but their business. I'm very happy and you can reassure her of that. I'm not used to such great follow-up on matters that have come up in my life and I'm 50 years old so I've been around for awhile. Thank you so very much for the very prompt attention and the absolutely awesome follow-up on every one of my emails. You can be sure that I'll mention your web site to my friends and family when they are looking for candles….you have some very unique items that I've never seen before. Thank you again so very much…and tell your Mom that there is no need to credit my card. I feel guilty to put you through the work of making tarts for me…the thought has been very generous and very appreciated. If you get a chance take a look at my web site. My husband set me up as I'm always messing around with crafts and making things that make other people happy. I have a real soft spot for family and memories and got into my dream of making quilts about 4 years ago. I decided I had this vision and after the tragic loss of my sweet granddaughter at a very young age I found myself searching for a way to find some peace and this has helped me tremendously. So take a look at: http://www.quiltstores.com A very grateful customer….Sandi F
"THANK YOU!! I appreciate the quick response. By the way, I love the wax! It's the best one I've worked with and I will be ordering from you for now on! J. Sherman Spokane Wa.
"Hi: I placed an order for several Yankee Candles from Swans Candles last week, and then went away for a few days. While I was away, Pete left me a very nice voice mail to tell me that one of the Yankee Candle Housewarmers I ordered was no longer available, and to please call regarding the rest of the order. Since I was not home to receive the message, the order was shipped to me, and I was amazed at the speed with which I received the other two candles I ordered. Since one of the candles was a retired scent, I was appreciative of the fact that the price for it was the same as candles that are still being produced. Too many retailers seize the opportunity to charge big money when they have a retired Yankee Candle in stock. So I guess you could say that I am an EXTREMELY satisfied customer who will most definitely be shopping on this website again! Thanks again, I Vigo
" I recently purchased the FA-CB-2 Soy wax. WOW! I am so impressed. The soy wax that I was previously using left ridges after burning. This wax is so silky smooth after each burn! It burns clean with no soot left on the edges of the jar. I love this wax, and so do my customers. Oh and the blueberry cobbler is wonderful. I will be stopping by soon for more! Sincerely, Taliene - Olympia, WA
"Thank You! I have poured several of my jack-o-lanterns, and so far I'm just thrilled!!!! I've poured at a couple of different temperatures. .. .so I'll see what looks best. With the Genwax I had to pour at 100 degrees or lower - it was almost thick when I poured! But so far today I'm LOVIN' this stuff! I'm working with a Fresh Baked Cinnamon Roll scent and when my son came home from work, he thought I was baking! Ha! Thanks for just everything. I'm looking forward to coming down, and I'm sure I'll need much more of this blend! Michele
"Dear Swans (cute) I wanted to take a moment and send you a quick note of thanks. In early May, I placed an order of CW #140 and CB #5 from your company. You patiently listened to my frustration about having waited seven weeks plus for my previous wax vendor to fill my order. All the while believing them, when they said their shipments would arrive in few days. Blah, blah, blah now I was down to my last 11 lbs and desperate. TOTAL PANIC, I had ration the wax and almost missed out on some pretty large orders. Frustrated beyond words, I stayed up until 3AM the night before I phoned you, looking online for someone who had wax available for order. Finally, I stubble upon your site.... THANK GOD! And the rest they say is history. You delivered a higher grade product, within 2 days and at a cheaper price (price per lb and shipping). I love it! My candles are coming out fabulous! They hold color and scent much better than the previous versions. The CW #140 makes a wonderful mottled candle. And there are no words for the CB #5, the candles come out smooth as silk. I couldn't be happier. My little company is barely six months old and based on recent sales/activity, I see tremendous potential. Thank you for your contribution to the company's success and helping me make a better product. Your advice, expertise and excellent customer service are invaluable. I look forward to a long partnership. ...and needless to say, I dumped the other vendor all together. Here's to a bright future! Erica W., Makeda Candle and Soap Co. San Francisco CA
"hi there I got my mineral oil but you over charged me $2.00, my total was 34.62 not 36.62. Christina "Dear Christina, We will have to put my mother in jail! She checked and did indeed overcharge you and she does feel bad. She has as I am writing put a $2.00 credit in for you. I am really sorry and this was an honest mistake not something we do! Have a great day! Pete"
"Pat: We received both shipments in great shape. The followers are of high quality. I am very pleased with them. Thanks for your help. Ron..
"Hello again, The candles arrived today and I cannot tell you how thrilled I am! Thank you so much for the exceptional service and quality items. I will be back .. and soon! Jody M.
"Got my order today. Thank you very much. The bobeches are perfect (with the exception that I happened to pick the same exact ones my mother-in-law has without even knowing it : )) Looking forward to ordering from you again soon. M. Rodriguez-Fusco
"Hi Pat, Thanks for the update, my package arrived yesterday and the candle making started last night. Thanks for the prompt shipment, and I will take you up on the next order for the larger quantity and the very fair shipping price. Lynda M. Columbia City OR.
"Pat, Thank you for your prompt attention to my order, You can rest assured that our future candle business will be handled by you. Respectfully, J Campbell South Haven MI
"Dear Pete, I have received my order just today Nov. 20. Thank you so much for the good service, everything was in perfect shape. I will definitely order again from your store. Belen D. Hung Hom, Hong Kong
"Thanks Pete...I don't mean to be a pain in the rear...it's just that I have to make some decisions and I have deffinately decided on the CB5, but think I will stick to my 5766A.... so make that 1 cs CB5 48.00 & shipping 13.40 = $61.40...I am calling very shortly...I will stick with the CB5 and will order 3 cases when you get it....I am also sending a couple of people, but they will tell you I sent them... but I just can't switch container waxes yet...it's way scarry since my reputation is based on my wonderful candles and scent throw...maybe soon I will be able to wean myself off all BP wax LOL...in the meanwhile I have found it for 46.50 cs and UPS shipping and I can live with that.... I want to thank you so much for the great customer service... it is much appreciated and I will send everyone I can to you.... KAT 11-14-2002
Dear Pete~ I have just poured 10# of your new container wax - CW-30CB and thought I'd give you my review on it.... It's probably the best container one-pour I have even used. As advertised, there are no sink holes and makes a nice smooth top... it's actually a "one-pour". I also noticed that it not only holds more FO than most waxes, but the scent even cold is incrediable! I have used my present brand of container wax for years now and swore that I would never switch... guess what? I am switching immediately! Thanks for the wonderful customer service and for offering this wonderful wax. I also have had excellent luck with the new CW pillar blend. Sincerely, KAT - KAT's Country Candles

"To: Swans Thank you for the very, very rapid delivery of your products. The Candle scents that I ordered (some of which are very hard to find) were shipped and deliverd by the next day, and they smell wonderful I shall have to order more from you again. Thank you, Michael T. Springfield Ore. P.S.. Your candle scents page is great to order from but difficult to locate, it was by accident that I found it. I kept getting the temp. page.
