Guest guest Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 I have not heard from the winning bidder yet. I just now dropped them an email. I have looked at the other ones that have been selling lye on Ebay and they are shipping them UPS. One of the ladies on another board said you can ship it any way as long as it is under 2#.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 I have shipped Lye on several occasions and have shipped it thru USPS with no problem. I just package it very well and throw it in a Priority box. > I have not heard from the winning bidder yet. I just now dropped them an > email.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 I used to buy my lye from Boyer Corp in the 2 lb cans - and was told by them that as long as each package was under 2 lbs (as it would be in a case of cans) that I didn't need to pay any hazmat fees. Now that I buy their box of four 10 lb boxes, I have to pay the extra fees (but it still ends up being cheaper). And that ships UPS Ground with no problem - I just received one earlier this year. If you're only shipping a cup's worth, I would just double or triple bag it (I am really anal about lye, lol) and send it off. I would NOT put what it was on the package, if for no other reason than that those meth people are insane and would probably steal it.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 I don't know if the rules are getting more strict everyday or what but when I fested up, it didn't matter what size, only that it was haz mat. Plus they wanted me to fill out a bunch of forms that had to be typed out which meant another trip back to Fed Ex. In any case, I'll stick to local pickup and play it safe.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 why don’t you get your lye at Riverside Chemical? Call in the morning and pick up that day. No shipping, etc. Take your tax resale certificate with you. See you at the UUC show.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Because when I called them last summer looking for some, they told me it was $4.50/lb! It's half that through Boyer, even with the shippping and extra $20 hazmat fee. Did I just get an idiot on the phone the day I called Riverside, or something? LOL! And I am very excited about that UUC show. Indoors, yay! I only took an 8' space, though, so I'm probably bringing mostly candles. They are now officially over 1/2 my business.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 tell them what you are using it for. I just purchased 55 lbs for 57.75. I got the pellets - already in a 55 lb bag. The flake has to be repackaged and so is more expensive. I keep mine in the large containers I get at Wegman's that used to hold frosting/fillings. It doesn't spoil.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Sometimes, the people that answer phones are 'idiots'. The UUC show should be fun and, yes, I'm glad it's indoors also. I got turned down twice for Elmwood but they keep sending applications that I promptly get rid of. See you then.
