For some reason todays tsv leaves me suspicious Why? Im not sure All never to come back scents, 3 wicks and low price Do you think they could be selling old candles Im sick of buying candles that dont have a strong smell and wicks that get covered with wax and go out

You misunderstood. Two scents from each set is being discontinued. The other two scents are new. Supposably customers have requested three wick candles and smaller size.

I was interested in the holiday set, but the s/h fee (to Alaska) is

$24.72. Easy "pass" for me on today's TSV. We get clobbered

with these huge s/h fees all the time, except when item is offered with free s/h, which is NOT OFTEN enough! 😤

@mollymaggie

A lot of people complained about the 4 wicks saying the candles burned down too fast....so thats why Harry went back to 3.....

I havent had any problems with the Homeworx wicks....the wicks I have problems is on the Bath & Body Work candles...the wicks drown and the candles dont burn evenly.... I think BBW knows all the coupons sent out will lower the price and the quality just isn't as good as when Harry was with BBW.....

@traveler ~ I know surferwife is in Hawaii, and I believe their rates are (probably) the same.

Well, the high rate for non priority off shore shipping is why I don't buy much and don't return much either.

They kind of look like something you'd find at the dollar store.

@Spurt ,
I've never had a problem with drowning BBW wicks.
I trim them before each use and light just 2 of the three wicks. I can burn them right down to nothing.

I've never thought about only light 2 of the 3 wicks. Doesn't the candle burn unevenly?

@traveler ,

If you alternate wicks to light, you get an even burn.

B&BW will shortly be having their annual sale on 3-wick candles for $10.00. I do all my ordering then.

Hi, are the bbw candles as nice and scented as the homeworx ones? Tia

I ordered a set of The Gourmand. I plan on keeping 2 and gifting 2. I prefer 3 wick, or even 2 wick for an even burn. I only had one problem with his candles not burning nicely, and that was on a "AS IS" candle set, so I wasn't too surprised about it...

The cost averaged out to about 12.00 per candle, which is pretty good price. I also really like Pier One's 3 wicks, they are almost always 2 for 20.00, such a good deal....They burn really nice too.

I don't think bow candles are as scented as Homeworx ones. I couldn't smell anything about halfway down.
