There's been this thing about moving companies...what they and what they won't pack. The big issues have been about; spices, candles, body wash, lotions, cosmetics and food items.
Here's what they WILL pack
*all of my spices
*dry foods such as pasta (damn, just gave it all away)
*rice (gave it all away too)
*body wash, lotions and cosmetics
Here's what they WON'T pack
*Candles of any kind. They won't even pack candles that are in a jar (which irks me). Which makes me have to ship 19 large jar candles (I've been stocking up for a while now and I only buy them when they are $10 or less).
*Extracts (IE; vanilla, raspberry, mint, almond etc) Since I have a small fortune wrapped up in them I might was well ship them to myself.
All in all, I'm doing quite alright! Well minus the expense of shipping a boat load of Yankee Candles to myself, LOL! But hey, it's soooo worth it! I will try to put a few in our luggage and save a few $hipping $$ that way.
Did you know...on international flights you are allowed 3 suitcases each? Being military we're allowed up to 70 lbs per suitcase, pretty cool!

70lbs?? And they supply a soldier with each one to carry it for you I hope? Perhaps you should put your jar candles in storage and start a new collection over here, Yankee are just as popular.
Oh Julia, how I wish I could! But alas, they won't even pack them for going into storage. So I'm going to tuck a few into each suitcase and ship the rest.
