    OMG thanks so much, NOW I can finally go to sleep. After spending hours watching videos, yours has truly been the most detailed, informative and photographic. I want to say thank you soo much. This has truly helped me answer all of the questions I was not recieiving from ALL the other youtubers. I am 100% subscribing to your channel. I am a visual learner and I just hate when I watch youtube videos of people who spend 10/25 mins talking with NO pictures or details explaining their line of craft or what the video is actually about. AGAIN Thanks So Much, this is my new home and I look forward to watching more of your videos.

    • @calafiacandleco
      @calafiacandleco  Před 2 lety +2

      The price really depends on where it's going. I use either USPS or UPS. Whatever shopify shows me is the cheapest. I would say I typically pay between a range of $8-$14 depending on where the package is going.

      @calafiacandleco  Před 2 lety

      Sorry just now seeing this! I need to look into a different sealer for the soap dish because the sealer I use for candles is water based. I think it would wear off pretty quick with wet soap being placed in the dish constantly.

      Thank you so much, Kim! I haven’t had any issues (that I know of) using this method of packing. I even shipped last summer to my parents who live in the Arizona desert, and my mom said the candles held up almost perfectly! A slight bit of sweating on the top of the candles, but hardly anything.
