Being a jewelry candle fanatic, I decided to give 381Candles.com a spin. At $30.99 a piece plus S&H, these candles are anything but a deal. I bought 8 candles between a couple different orders all of which had wood wicks. The candles when burning sent off a lot of black smoke and soot and tunneled straight down the square containers, and the scent didn't even fill up the room. The jewelry was very pretty, I will give the company that... But it was cheaply made and only lasted a couple of days before stones started falling out or the "silver" began to tarnish. After taking a couple of pieces to the jeweler, I was told that the silver used was one of the lowest quality silvers you can get in the market, and the gemstones were all just man made.
Aside from the crappy burning candles, the customer service of 3-8-1 is horrific. The owner blocks anyone from posting to her Facebook page with any negativity. If you get a broken candle she also requires you to file that issue with the post office, regardless of the obvious error in packing. The products are not packed well and it is a surprise that any of the items get anywhere safely.
Beware of 3-8-1's business practices, PayPal has also had numerous complaints and reports of bad activity.
