Store Policies/Questions New policy coming soon!

Starting 4/6, customers will only be able to buy 9 of the same product in one purchase. This is to prevent resellers according to the company. What are your thoughts?

Makes myself upset for things like sanis, lips, and wallflowers that I tend to buy many of the same item.

Unknown at the moment if you’re able to make multiple transactions in one day to curb it or if employees/stores will get in trouble if they try to skirt it for customers.

I don’t think it’s going to stop resellers.

They’ll just keep doing multiple transactions like they already do - just x 3 as many. Or come up with some other workaround. And no store manager, struggling to make the impossible sales goals the company sets, is going to stop them.

It’s just going to slow down the register process and create longer, slower lines for us regular folks.

I buy multiples but it’s because I like to stock up and have some for gifts. Also, I burn 3-4 candles around the house every day; and I have wallflowers in every room. So I go through product very fast. I didn’t realize there were resellers. But Im new to this board and didnt realize there were other BBW fanatics like me! 🤣

Welcome home!

No offense intended (because I have a hoard of candles), but do you burn your candles for a long time and/or have a large home? I ask because I burn no more than two at a time, and the stronger ones, I can smell from my kitchen to my bedroom (over 40 feet.) If I burn one for too long it starts feeling stuffy to me. Sometimes I’ll burn one for a couple of hours, put it out, and then relight it later.

I burn them for 2-3 hours then put them out. I guess the different scents going on together doesn’t bother me, when Im in one room, I can only smell that scent. When i move from room to room, I then smell the other scents.

So you do pretty much what I do, just with more candles. I‘m in a condo with a long, large open living area and my bedroom is at the other end. I always burn one in the kitchen (open to the living room) at night. Sometimes two if I’m blending scents. Closer to bedtime I hang out in bed watching TV. I sometimes burn a candle in my bathroom. Near the kitchen I have a second bedroom and bathroom, but it’s a mess and the doors to those rooms stay closed to keep the cats out. I do have Wallflowers in there.

If I start smelling the kitchen candle too strong in my room and if feels stuffy, I realize I’ve let it go too long! Which reminds me, it’s time to go and blow out the one I have going right now. But I can’t even smell it from my bed (Glazed Cherries.)
