Thirty Street Wax

There are some exciting new vendors in the world of scented wax. One of them is Thirty Street Wax (TSW) and I've had the pleasure of placing two orders with them in the last month. 

My first order was approx 34.2 ounces / $1.05 per ounce - shipping was $12.35: 

Cupcakes (averaged 2oz each):

• monsoon wedding x2 - orchid, peony, water lily, watercress, aloe, bamboo and summer ripened berries.
• queen mab - lavender, chamomile, lily of the valley, citrus, powder and african violet
• hula girl x2 - white nectarine, jasmine, vanilla and hawaiian sandalwood 
• pink fluffy marshmallow - pink sugar with marshmallow and cake batter

Cameo Tarts (averaged about 2.5 ounces each):

• queen of scots biscuits - spicy oatmeal cookies with butterscotch
• mooseberry cobbler
• southern belle 

I love the size of these cameos and the details are impressive:

Chunk Tarts (averaged 2.5 ounces each):

• summer taffy (not shown) - fresh juicy peaches, sweet summer strawberries, rich and creamy french vanilla taffy, carmelized sugar and warm butter.
• velvetten rabbit x2 - fresh honey & toffee bits, citrus, baby powder & jasmine, cotton candy, raspberries & sweet lemon.
• pie in the sky - apples, spices, crust, sweet zucchini bread, cinnamon, sugar, nutmeg and marshmallows
• the king's table x2- pumpkin waffles with butter, maple syrup, peaches and whipped cream.

My second order was the pumpkin sampler that included (6) scent shots, (4) chunks and (1) very large pie slice. Total ounces was 24.4, the sampler price was $25 / $1.02 per ounce. Shipping was $7.00 for a Regional A box:

• blueberry pumpkin patch
• pumpkin eggnog
• pumpkin sugar cookie
• pumpkin apple struedel
• pumpkin cheesecake
• frosted pumpkin cupcakes

• liz's pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting
• pumpkin hot buttered rolls
• creamy pumpkin spice latte
• maple sugar pumpkin caramel cake

A huge 6 ounce pie slice in Mile High Cream Pie (pie crust, pumpkin souffle, pumpkin pie and whipped cream)

one ounce freebies:

I've melted a handful of these and the performance has been all over the place but mostly very good. The first one that I tried (maple sugar pumpkin caramel cake) was a very light --almost non thrower. I melted it in a 20w hot plate in my loft and I sat two feet from the warmer. I couldn't smell it at all. 

The second melt (pumpkin eggnog) was one of the strongest and longest lasting scents I've ever melted. It was phenomenal! It was so good that it has made me want to try TSW again and again and again --just in search for wax that performs anywhere near this good.

The others that I have melted have performed very well with average to above average throw. 

The highlights are the blends and labeling, especially impressive from a new wax company. 

There was one little thing that I did not like about my first order. The Medium Flat Rate box that it arrived in was entirely too big and the order, even with the kraft paper around every piece of wax, could have easily fit into a Regional A box.


I am probably more of a stickler with packaging and shipping than most but I can not stand careless shipping. I think that the amount of space in this box is reckless on the vendor's part. It could save the customer several dollars. Individually that may not be a big deal but it adds up quickly.
My guess is her website calculates the shipping price based on the number of items sold. So I ordered 16 items and the smaller box shipping stops at 15 items, which probably needs to be adjusted if that is the case.

I am a huge fan of flat rate shipping or actual shipping. TSW has estimated shipping that, from what I have seen, is not accurate. 

The good definitely outweighs the disappointment in shipping, so far. The wax quality, the blends, the scent description on each label with the pour date --all have me super excited to order again. TSW has scheduled restocks and she remains open for several days. 

If you're interested, TSW's facebook page is located HERE! I believe their next restock will be Oct. 15-19 via their WEBSITE!
