Any chance of a Burt's Bees co-op/wholesale order? I can't remember who it was that used to offer them. Even with shipping and customs the products worked out way, way cheaper than ordering in UK and I'm running out fast!!

You can order Burt's Bees products through Frontier Coops if you can find one or find someone to host one here.

I need to order some too.

Thanks, I'll look into that. Not sure I want to join another forum though, especially one I don't know to hand my money over to iyswim. Guess I'll go look, can't hurt Smile

Thanks, I didn't find the Frontier co-op, well, the sites I did find didn't mention BB. I signed up for the yahoo group and will see what happens. I'm a little wary of using groups I don't know though.

I shoudl have been more clear. Frontier is a company that wholesales a ton of products. There are coops hosted on various boards/groups for Frontier. You can buy burt's bees products through Frontier. Does this help?

I have heard good things about Carrie at coop mania, so I will check it out too.

Thanks Heather. I did find Frontier, but the only co-ops I found that related the two were seemingly local co-ops, one for south California, another for a city/area somewhere.

I feel better about Co-op mania with 2 recommendations, so we'll see if I get in Smile

I asked about a BB coop a while back and there was no one to here to host it any longer. Someone did mention Frontier, I think, but I wasn't sure where to find it. Is it just Frontier.com?

I'm also not hugely familiar with how to find things on Yahoo. How would I find the Yahoo Mania group to possibly join that for a BB coop?

It's a group on Yahoo that I'm going with, Co-op Mania. Looks like they do a Frontier co-op once a month and it all sounds well organised. I could of got in this months, but will be pushing it with shipping times as I'll be offline for a couple of weeks next month, so I'll go in next months and let the organiser know.
