Wholesale candles, discount candles, or one at a time - what's the best buy?

 
There's a strong overlap between discount candles and wholesale candles - naturally.

  What you buy of course depends on "why" you buy.
  And "why" in turn leads on to "how" you buy.

The discounters and the wholesalers both offer more for your money; the major difference is that the wholesalers expect to sell in larger quantities, while the discounters usually focus on price and a reduced range....

Sometimes, of course, sellers simply use the words "wholesale" or "discount" to signal that their product is cheap or at least being sold at a reduced price, and there is no minimum quantity involved at all.

When to go for wholesale candle supplies

• However,if you're planning a massed display (or perhaps inviting a lot of guests), then a decision to look at the genuine wholesalers (or at the very least to buy discount candles) is probably the right one.
• But if the events you're planning are more intimate, then smaller quantities, smaller sizes and more variety are the right way to go.

Fortunately, quantities generally have very little impact on your ability to choose exactly what you want. Most of the larger outlets place no minimum limit on the quantities you can order.

In fact, many suggest that when you order something new for the first time, you should order the minimum to make sure it is exactly what you want before committing yourself to a larger quantity.

This suggestion makes particular sense when dealing with those companies (and there are a number of them in the wholesale and/or discount areas) who will not accept returns.

There is always a trade-off somewhere along the line. Make sure you read the fine print before parting with your money!

That said, there is virtually nothing in the candle line that you cannot buy wholesale, or at reduced prices.
