What to Look for When Researching Wholesale Distributors For Your Candles

There are many ways to find wholesalers for candles. You could simply go to Google or Yahoo and search for “candles wholesale” or something similar. Doing a search like this will bring up a huge number of results, but the vast majority of them are not going to be very effective.

When looking for a wholesale supplier for candles, or any other items for that matter, there are a few clues that will tell you if it is a legitimate wholesaler:

• A true wholesale supplier will normally only deal with a company, not the average consumer. They will usually need a tax ID# from you before they will sell to you at wholesale.
• A legitimate wholesaling company will not charge you a fee to “join” before you can order anything from them. They want to sell you their products, not a membership to their website.
• The best wholesale companies don’t also sell directly to shoppers, even at retail. You want to avoid competition with your wholesaler if possible when you’re selling in an on line auction or store.
