buying Eo's

[Guest guest]

Interesting thread, it is a confusing topic so many people have

given me suppliers, I tried a few and they were good and bad, one

of the suppliers was recommended by my aromatherapy teacher and

she is a rep. so bias maybe but good oils, do I continue to use

them, no, not because they are not good - but because first you

can't get larger quantities and second the shipping time to be

seemed to take too long.

 

To the most experienced on this list, I think you have a burden of

having the newbies -like me- counting on word of mouth, however in

the end we must go with what works for us. I take alot into

consideration and check out alot of prices, YL- they might have the

best oils in the world( go ahead and laugh now) but I have never to

*MY* knowledge touched their oils, I will not buy from them simply

because of marketing, it comes across to me as slimy.

I inquired a few weeks ago to a supplier, I do not believe in

condeming someone simply because of my experience, they may have

great oils, and I may have asked the wrong questions, however I was

not pleased with the answers I received and never ordered samples

because I am not greedy- they didn't make a good impression on me so

why get sample if I know I don't want to do business with them- am I

limiting myself? maybe -also- right now I can't and don't want to

deal with suppliers that are outside of the US, I may be missing out

on great products, but just starting out its not the route I want to

take.

Does Butch have the best oils?? I don't know, but again leaning on

the experience of people on this list and recommendations- I can

think for myself- but the kindness of people ON THIS LIST, who at

their own expense with nothing to gain that have sent me oils that I

know were Butch's I have to believe that there is great confidence

in his products. So I rely on my instinct, I bought from him and

not only was I very pleased with the product, but with the customer

service, the shipping time, and what I percieve as a honest

business man, who I have personal knowledge that he has taken a

significant loss recently on the fact that he quoted a price and

stuck with it and didn't have to, and he isn't selling me a product

and MIA, nor have I seen him say only buy from me, I am a person not

a order number- he is posting on the list and a part of

this " community " he answers questions, all of this comes into play

where I spend my money,not just quality

 

Anyway in the end, like was said, get the samples, do your research

and go with what feels right to you because in the end if your

reselling its your butt on the line.
