First, I have to say I like how Partylite candles burn. I can find scents in other candles that are just as pleasing, if not more so, whose scents are thrown throughout a room better, however, I do like how Partylite candles liquify and burn. However, shopping at Partylite.com--or through a rep--stinks. For starters, the S&H is a joke. I'm not adding $15 shipping and tax AND DELIVERY FEE to my order just because you want to make the biggest dollar from me. Most importantly to me, the item(s) take forever to ship! By the time I got some springtime candles, I was ready for something different for summer. :( NEVER AGAIN. Ordering from a PL rep is just as bad, and she "bundles" her orders, which means I'm waiting forever for her to even submit mine, which means, by the time the item is actually shipped, it's going on 2 months! Really? You got me once, but I won't make that mistake again. So, eBay here I come. Win-win! The latest PL items are generally listed, shipping rates are much better and best of all, I actually get my items in about a week! Can't compete! This is why so many "home party" companies bite it. No, Mr. Partylite CEO, you won't go under because of the existence of eBay/online auction sites--you'll go by the wayside (along with all the other MLM companies) because companies like yours do not put the customer first--and now, lucky for us, we don't have to succumb to it and can turn instead to sites like eBay. If you turned your "rah-rah" meetings more into "how can we change MLM for good" sessions, then you might stand a chance, but I doubt that would even be of interest to you. Good luck with all that. Hello eBay!
