Wax Melt Restock Update
What's going on with our wax melt restock? Mochiglow used to make 6-cube wax melts with our Asian-inspired scents. I know a lot of you have been asking about restocks after we announced they were discontinued. I spoke to a few of you & mentioned we were changing the packaging to 1-oz instead.
Unfortunately, we won't be able to continue making the wax melts at all. I know a few people have gotten upset, so I wanted to explain what has been going on:
First, my mom usually makes all the wax melts. She was planning on restocking for May, but with her decline in hand dexterity, it's getting to be tougher for her to do manual work. We're still a small team, and it's getting hard to keep up with so much inventory. There are some updates here about our store in general, that might explain a bit more about what's going on.
Secondly, those tariffs are really starting to catch up. The reality is, most packaging and raw materials (like wax and fragrance oils) are still so reliant on international production. Even though we source from US-based companies, they source their packaging, etc from overseas. With all our suppliers raising prices across the board, we just can't offer $5 wax melts anymore.
The short version is, we won't be able to offer wax melts any more. I know it's upsetting & I'm SO very sorry for getting your hopes up with the May restock announcement. I truly hope you guys understand. And I hope this offers a bit of perspective about our reasons why. Feel free to comment below if you have any questions!
