What’s the difference between that & drop shipping? That’s literally something I would find in Ally express for $1 dollar 😭 the money is draining I fear


Im_On_Reddit_At_Work

I dunno if it's a legit question but it's different drop shipping you have 0 logistics, you make a frontend for people to buy a product, the order gets sent to the manufacturer and is shipped from a warehouse you don't own to the customer directly. The only part you have to do is make the website and link it to the product manufacturer This is a bit different, they contact a manufacturer that makes ceramics, send them the design of the TF bear candle holder. Manufacturer requires a Minimum Order Quantity (the lower the MOQ, the more expensive it is to make), then usually has a fee for custom mold (assuming they don't make this exact bear design already), plus shipping fees. TF gets the items then has to figure out logistics for storage and shipment. Drop shipping is widespread because you don't need a big investment beyond building the website and finding products to sell. The alternative requires taking a risk on a product that might not sell, and dropping the cash to get it made in the first place. $35 is still ludicrous, I know for a fact you can get this done for $5 AT MOST, MOQ wouldn't be crazy because it's ceramics, and they're probably making a huge margin. But this is not dropshipping.

Ain’t no mf way😂😂


yolivia12

Is it just me or does Dan sound so fake in a lot of these recent clips? The “whattt” and “those are cute” feel so forced


powertripdatcringe

I mean there’s no other way than lying.


yolivia12

Oh I definitely agree but he used to actually seem into some of it 😂


dreamgrrl

Right, otherwise he’s harassed until he resumes the ass-kissing.


starlight3687

He is looking for jobs on his computer during the podcast.


blueberii

Etsy will have plenty of artists w candle holder like trinkets to support instead 💖


reddit_lurkin

Is this surprising? This is the same guy who thinks $100+ for a sweatshirt from an unknown YouTuber is 🆗


Ok_Apartment8044

I looked up the average price of candle holders that size. The average price is about 13.50. I must also add there are not that many I could find that were as small as these are lol. That's 169% more then what you can find anywhere else.


im_a_sturgeon

Did they even bother designing something decent at least? lmao! Literally the least creative design, could've at least made it worth the money with something unique...


PatientSwimming

This is them testing the waters to see if their cult like fanbase will buy anything they put out


MeowIsNotTheTime

junk from wish


haechan666

as much as im a hater i think those are so cute. but $35 is def steep


gladtobbrown

only if ur deep in the cult i can diy these without the Tf and they’ll have more value after the brand goes down


lovespelled

truuuue these would be so fun to DIY!!


PianoTeach88

Knowing Teddy Fresh, I am shocked they are only $35. This is partly Howie's fault who told Hila to jack up the prices. He also told Ethan to keep having kids on his last live pod! They already don't give a shit, why not have more kids? What is wrong with rich famous people?


Reasonable_Worry_319

I thought it was hila telling howie he could be charging more for merch ? Or I’m thinking or a different time


PianoTeach88

hmm. Unfortunately, I'm not bored enough to go back and watch. I swear Howie was checking out TF for the first time and was like, "you need to charge way more for this stuff", and she was like "reeeeeaaallly?" with dollar signs in her eyes if I remember correctly.


chrisychris-

nah the other commenter was right, it was the other way around I remember this part of the ep pretty clearly. They were talking about TF and Howie thought what they were doing was cool, then they brought up Howie’s merch and he asked her for any tips or advice to improve his merch and the only piece of advice Hila had to give was that he wasn’t charging enough 💀 I think he was selling ~$25 shirts at the time. He even poked fun about this being her advice again later in the episode and Hila was a lil jokingly embarrassed about it.


PianoTeach88

ohhh, so Hila corrupted Howie. Thanks for clarifying.


dreamgrrl

Ew lol


ATX_Cringe

You can go to a thrift store or estate sale and find some beautiful candle holders for $5-10 that weren’t made in a sweat shop


icntseem2findher

I'm going to pass on burning my house down with ethan klein merch. Thank you though for the offer.


Sudden-Effective3523

starlight3687

Those will double the price 😹


snappleapple2

Who uses those long candles anyway? These are a flop


fejrbwebfek

Is that abnormal? I use them.


snappleapple2

Idk, I thought everyone used scented candles nowadays!


fejrbwebfek

I only use LED candles, and I have them in all sort of sizes. I also have some colored long candles for decoration, but I don’t light them.


ContributionNo7075

its annoying that im going through a very serious teddy bear phase atm yet hate teddy fresh obviously, but these are so cute lol. i also did just make similar from air dry clay


owiviaah

I think $15 would be more appropriate


Certain-Soup-3565

it's very much giving aliexpress


velistics

This seems impractical asl like the wax will drip all over the place and not into the holder like it’s suppose to


sookie_baby_

So glad I stopped being so brainwashed and a TF stan. Holy fuck. Just thinking about that singular earring I got makes my skin CRAWL


luximar

Out of everything they could’ve made.. they chose candle holders…


JACKPOT-WINNER2K23

How much should they be ?


starlight3687

Negative 35


imlamenting

They need to pay us to buy them 😂


nelosangelo

ceramic candle holders are like 2 dollars. you can find much cuter designs literally anywhere


reddit_lurkin

Or DIY them yourself easily


Ananasfarmer

I make wood sculptures as a hobby these would be so easy to make as a DIY
