I do not even consider that part of the price anymore as I pay it in every store in Nj I go into! Now I do love when they offer free shipping. That is often the thing that seals the deal. I know, it is probably built into the price - right?! You are right though about being able to smell them before purchasing. You always take a chance of not liking the scent when you buy online.

who knows if it's built into the price, but they sold 60K plus of them so there is certainly room there to pay to ship them to me and everyone

3 million dollars?

The label on mine from last year peeled off easy

I find them lovely but too expensive. I just buy White Barn when they are on sale for $12.

These are twice as big and no S&H about 13 plus change on four EP. More of a value than the White Barn. A good buy. I like White Barn also, but couldn't resist these.

@Big Joanie, I don't get this. FWIW, after I finished burning a recent Slatkin three wick candle, I easily removed the label and gave the jar to my hubby as he wanted it. It's been a couple months now, and I've only done it on that one candle, but as I recall it came off super easy. Course if you take the label off, the candle is now naked. But if that's what you want....

Has anyone else removed the labels? Please comment as I don't want to lead anyone astray with my one experience.

I put mine in freezer when candle doesn't light anymore and the wax comes off the jar easy. The label peels easy without going in freezer

Thanks njgirl. The taxes drive me nuts. There were only 3 in this set.right? Not 4. 3 came to closer to $18 each. If there were 4 candles, it would be a little over $13.

Hi QVC addiction. I'm so confused. I thought there were 3 candles in each set. How could that be $13 and change? 13 x 3 is $39--even without any tax? I figured even if there was no tax, they'd. be over $16 each.

I also checked ounces--14.5 for White Barn. These were 18 ounces--not twice as big.

ETA: I just checked--there were 3.

I ordered both sets, plus the spring auto-delivery. I'm intrigued by all the scents ... one will for sure go in the main bathroom which I had remodeled last year.
