Sugar Melts By Stacy

If you are a serious wax addict, you’ll want to read this article as it is an attribute to USA wax vendors, one in particular that I want to share with you. Lets talk about Sugar Melts by Stacy and how I got to know about this small business wax vendor.

A little bit about me first. A few months ago, I sat down and wrote a blog based on some of the best wax vendors in America that many of my clients raved about. I made the decision to spread the love of these small wax vendors with others. Through my blog I shared names and links so that others could see what all the fuss was about. Afterwards, I reached out to some of these vendors and asked if we might collaborate, especially to those who did not ship internationally. I personally felt that I could relate to the headaches trying to ship worldwide filling out all the customs documentations and paperwork which is not only mind boggling but time consuming just the same.

I waited in hopes of a response. Stacy and I connected. My grandmother, who was my best friend used to say that that people come into our lives for a reason and that when one door closes another one opens and sure enough I started collaborating with this small business owner.

Today I’m writing this blog to tell you about a woman named Stacy Jean Sullivan and her wax business. Let’s talk about Sugar Melts by Stacy. Stacy is the proud owner of her website. She started this business 7 years ago. She is from a small town called Front Royal, Virginia. The name Sugar Melts by Stacy came about because Stacy is a type one diabetic. With that being said we all know that any illness requiring medicines are not cheap. This business truly helps Stacy with her medical supplies as she is on an insulin pump.

Behind the scenes there was someone else who was influential to Stacy and that was her mother. With her mom by her side helping her with bookkeeping and orders etc., she was, as some would say her right hand lady so to speak. They were their own dynamic duo, the dream team. These two were so creative in all aspects of the business that their wax just kept getting better and better with new aromas, and new ideas. With each pour came a new twist on American made wax melts and her list of followers grew. Stacy felt she could do anything with her mother by her side.

In 2020, Stacy’s mother became ill and was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer and fought her battle as long as she could with Stacy by her side. In March 2021, Stacy’s mother passed away. Stacy struggled with the thought of keeping her business up and running without her mom by her side nevertheless, she knew that her mothers spirit would embrace her enough to guide her through this journey. Stacy vowed to keep her business flourishing because that’s what her mother would want her to do. She needs all of us to support her and to keep her business alive. We, along with her mothers spirit always with her will do our part to keep Sugar Melts by Stacy a name to remember.

Stacy has quite a following here in the United States and I’m hoping to help her expand to other countries that need to know about how great her wax products really are. These melts that so many people rave about come in different sizes and shapes and they come in such a variety of scents. The aromas are enough to fill a room and they have people coming back for more and more, month after month.

Stacy uses the best quality wax and oils and puts so much thought into each and every wax melt that she pours and her customer fan base absolutely loves her! If you have not purchased yet from Stacy, I would highly recommend doing so! Drop what you are doing and get on a mailing list or set up an account with her website. Stacy does preorders every 6-8 weeks and in between she often does a RTS or pop up.

I am attaching a link to her website but please note that she takes customized orders only on specified dates so the best thing to do would be follow her on group page on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok for updates on when the next time is to preorder her melts. You definitely will not be disappointment. Please visit Sugar Melts by Stacy

To be able to shop at Sugar Melts by Stacy if you live abroad and have her melts sent to you, you’ll need to write us at [email protected] to sign up for a free account with Savin Exporting. We are here to assist you throughout the process. Once you sign up for your free account we’ll issue you an American address for you to ship your orders to.

From everyone here at Savin Exporting, we are quite honored to be collaborating with you on this business journey Stacy!

WoofWix Wax Melts

 

Hello everyone! Let’s talk about WoofWix! A few months ago I wrote a blog about wax vendors who are small business owners here in the USA that I suggested taking a look at.  I mentioned some of these small vendors trying to make a difference in the world of wax as well in hopes of sending some new potential business their way.

As a small business owner myself who launched several small businesses since 2004, I can say wholeheartedly that we all get by with a little help from our friends. With that being said, I’m very happy today to introduce to you all a very nice couple who is ‘for sure’ marking their territory in the wax sector.

I’d like to introduce to you Amber and Steven Wolf. They are the owners of WoofWix! They come highly recommended indeed by several of my clients abroad who use my international shipping services so they are already getting known by their adorable name around the globe in places such as; Africa, Austria, Germany, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, and in parts of the UK to name a few. Their business was listed on my last blog titled “American Wax Companies Worth Taking a Peek At!”

A little bit about them and their fabulous business; They hand make their wax melts from their cozy little office located in Kimball, Michigan! Amber and Steven both grew up in Michigan and started dating in high school in 2006. Since then they went to college, got married, adopted a dog named Loki, and they started WoofWix in 2018 turning this into quite the successful small business to those looking for delightful melts in the USA.

They were inspired by their dog to make dog-themed wax melts. Amber stated “We love being able to create our own custom cozy blends for everyone to enjoy. It’s always fun to have a new scent lingering in the air!” I can assure you that their blends are definitely one of a kind and there are a variety of them to try. They offer anything from bakery to fruity to fresh to masculine aromas!

This duo is becoming more and more busy and they’re rapidly expanding their business. With that being said, they do monthly restocks where they add almost 30 new blends to WoofWix.com

Two of their absolute personal favorites are Lenny’s Apple Bread which is a delicious blend of Mac Apples + Zucchini Bread + Sugar Cookies + Cornbread Muffins. Gosh this sounds like something that would just melt in your mouth doesn’t it, ahhh but don’t eat it! Another highly recommended scent is called Library – this is a blend of Cedar + Leather + Teakwood & Sandalwood. Sounds masculine so for all the guys out there that desire manly aromas, try this one! My guess is you won’t regret it. If  Amber and Steven recommend it then so do we!

Do you need a few other pleasing suggestions? No Paw-blem! Here are a few ideas that truly sound delicious not to mention mouth watering to me; Bakery Boy- Buttered Pecan Bread + Sugared Milk, or how about Snicklefritz-Snickerdoodle + Pizzelle + Brown Sugar. Omggg, can you say yummy?!? Need more suggestions? I love watching Hallmark movies so why not try ‘Hallmark Movie!’ This smells just like vanilla frosted graham crackers.

For myself on a personal note and living at the beach, I highly endorse a fresh melt that sounds ever so good called ‘Beach Blanket’ which consists of Salty Sea Air + Flannel Sheets. Doesn’t that just sound like a blanket of freshness that you can just wrap yourself up in?

Here’s a link to view some of their others melts and aromas/ingredients used to bring them to life, but please do keep in mind that there are many that are seasonal so be on the look out when the time approaches. Their scents and melts can change monthly according to the season and their availability. https://www.woofwix.shop/woofwix-blends

Amber and Steven really do hope to see you join the Woof Pack soon and to give you some motivation to try them out they are offering a 20% off coupon to new international buyers who purchase their wax and set up an account with us to ship abroad using our services at SavinExporting.com 

You can reach us at [email protected] to find out how to get an account and a personalized USA address to have your orders delivered to, then we’ll do the rest and find the best prices and customs fees to accommodate your absolute needs and send them on their way for you to enjoy! We ship to over 70 countries. We search the most affordable shipping for you and we, unlike many other global shipping companies who give you one cost only,… take it or leave it, we give you options to choose what is best for you and we feel that makes a huge difference in the worldwide shipping field.

The code for this fabulous 20% off instant savings is; SavinWoof  so don’t forget to use it so that Amber and Steven know how you found them! Happy shopping! Have a paw-some day and may you take full advantage of their many melts to choose from.

From all of us at Savin Exporting, Good Luck to you both Amber and Steven! We are so honored to be collaborating with you on this venture!

Yellow or White Labels from Yankee Candle?

Are you a candle collector or a buyer? Are you a casual candle shopper or an avid one? Do you look at the candle label on the bottom of your jar? You’d be surprised how many people do not, BUT the numbers of people that do flip it over really out number those who do not.

Most of the time people think that yellow labels are not good. Many times people prefer only white labels, however, there is a difference with yellow labels but most often it is only that there is a slight imperfection with the jar. It could be the color of the wax, or even the scent might slightly vary. Most of the time is it not visible to the naked eye, unless you are a candle guru. Yellow labels are often deemed a ‘do not buy’ jar but I tend to find great deals on yellow labels and some real bargains at Yankee Candle Outlets.

There are American labels that are white labels and these are Deerfield labels. These are sold at Yankee Candle stores but are also shipped to the outlet stores when there is an abundant amount of overflow that the store could not sell before a new seasonal group of scents make their debut.

Deerfield also puts out exclusive jars throughout the year but these cannot be bought at a local YC store, oh no., these can only be bought at the Deerfield or Williamsburg’s Yankee Candle Stores and most of the time you must be there in person to buy them. You can often call the stores to place a phone order but you will need a USA address to ship them too. You should also know that shipping can get rather pricey depending on your purchase.

What are tan labels? Tan labels are generally on jars that are European specialty candles shipped to the US for distribution at outlet stores. This is not always the case though. These are the same quality of wax as the white labels but again, people freak out when they don’t see a white deerfield label. Isn’t it just nice to smell a fabulous aroma in your home or office and enjoy it? Most of the time if you did not look at the bottom of the jar, you wouldn’t know what color its label really was. Cool your jets folks, they still smell good. Stop being so picky! At Savin Exporting we pride ourselves in helping you select the perfect scents and candles. We want you to get the most bang for your buck!

Win or Lose with a Personal Shopper?

The Reality of Importing From Questionable Sources…

How Well Do you Trust Your Personal Shopper?

I’ve been a business owner shipping to customers for almost 10 years from a variety of businesses that I have obtained and my goal was then, and always is to be professional and to handle my businesses in a very professional manner from start to finish…but guess what? Not everyone thinks like I do, and not everyone is quite as honest as I am. My grandmother used to alway tell me “Shelly, you get what you pay for, so if it seems too good to be true, it probably is!” Beware of the not-so-trustworthy personal shoppers that you employee.

As a personal shopper at Savin Exporting, I find myself in friendships with most all of my clients. Why? Because I am a very personable woman that believes that good things come to those who wait and I prefer helping people the good old fashion honest way rather than ripping them off which is what some folks will do to you unfortunately. I have friends around the globe now as I service over 70 countries and I keep my integrity of my business high on a pedestal of being trustworthy and genuine. I L-O-V-E my clients to the moon and back!

There are facts and fictions to beware of:

Fiction: You find a super low cost seller with little experience that will promise you the moon making your costs seem too hard to pass by and you bite on this like a shark. Then you will succumb to a more real reality. Either the products are fake or the products arrive to you not shipped correctly which will cause damage, breakage or other miscellaneous catastrophies. Lastly you will find a seller that is impossible to get a hold of or then becomes what we lie to call ‘a mole’ which means that there is virtually never any follow up if an issues arises.

Fact: We here at Savin Exporting pride ourselves with 110% customer service and deal with any or all realistic topics that might pop up. We pride ourselves in the overall value of your order. At the end of the day, if your order arrives at your door in a thousand pieces (and it shouldn’t) but if it does, we work diligently to cover the cost and send out new items providing we have photos to supply our insurance company with.

In closing, Pleaseeeee…if you are searching for a good personal shopper, get recommendations and references from a handful of people that have used this personal shopper in the past to make certain that you get what you are paying for. Whether you seek candles or caviar, do your homework.

Did You Know… That Yankee Candle Stands By YOU, the Customer?

Candles…People can say what they want about candles and their costs and my answer is always still the same thing. You get what you pay for. I am a firm believe in that too! Some people are super cheap and buy what they can afford, or what they only desire to pay. Thats ok, nonetheless if you have the cash to spend and you go el-cheapo it’s your own fault that you chose a real dud for a jar.

I’ve been a candle buyer on a personal level for several years. I have spent oodles of dollars per year on jars of various scents with some very strong aromas and some that I was quite disappointed in. Over the years I have learned to patronize the companies that actually stand behind their products, and there are quite a few of them.

What do I mean by this you wonder? Well, I’ll tell you. Lets say I shop Yankee Candle and I buy a Macintosh large jar. I take it home, light it and I realize that I dislike the scent. Lets say that I let it burn for over 4-8 hours and it still didn’t throw off a fragrance that you would want to burn for yet another 140+ hours.

Did you know… that if you purchase from any Yankee Candle Store in the USA and you dislike a jar for whatever reason, you can return it for a new jar? YEPPER! That’s right, a new jar. They do what is called a ‘jar for a jar’ swap because they want you (their customer) to be so happy that you will continue to come back time and time again. Not many stores that I know of offer such an incredible source of exchange for a jar. Most companies that I know of don’t stand behind their products like this.

Please know that this policy was never meant to be abused, so don’t do it. Too much returning/exchanging and you get flagged at the store and then corporate office. Please don’t buy a jar and burn it 3/4s of the way down then take it in stating it gave you a headache or you disliked the scent. Don’t buy 6 jars and burn them for your dinner party then take them back the next day and say that you hated them, shame on you! That’s not nice. Honesty is the best policy for sure! This nice exchange that Yankee Candle has created for you (the customer) was meant for those of us who appreciate the value of good wax and are avid shoppers at Yankee Candle.

Do make sure that while you have the jar you use an illuma lid to reduce any soot. This lid also helps create to an even burn. These jar toppers also help prevent the candle from tunneling. Never let your wick get too big or like a mushroom top or it will drop in the melted wax and cause smoke for sure. Keep the wick 1/8 of an inch cut at best. I recommend wick trimmers at Yankee Candle. They sell for $9.99 a pair.

Take a look at Yankee Candle or on their website when you are purchasing candles because they have really beautiful accessories and home decor to accompany your candles. If you are in search of Yankee Candles and live abroad and cannot get them you are in luck. I am a personal shopper and I buy for people and send to 70+ countries around the globe. I launched Savin Exporting so that I could assist new clients with wax purchases around the world as well as many other candle related products.  Take a few minutes and visit our website for more information. We’d love to ship to you!  Have questions? Fill out the form on the bottom of the website and we’ll be sure to get right back to you. Savin Exporting is the way to ship and we do it daily. Wax never sleeps!
