Are your sticks hand dipped? I have seen people say their sticks are hand dipped but when I get them they look and smell like the same old sticks you can get at Wal-Mart or Kmart?

How long do you soak your sticks for? I have seen people saying they soak 3 days to a week.

Yes. But I am not responsible for lost items. Shipping outside the US is at your own risk. Wait for invoice if your items is to be shipped out of the US.

Yes I soak all my own sticks right here. Lots of stick retailers say that when in fact they are just cheap imported sticks. If the stick looks and smells like it came from Wal-Mart most likely that is the quality they are, cheap imported sticks. Once you order some real quality sticks you will be able to tell who is really hand dipping and who isn't. Trust me I have bought hand dipped sticks and then got them and they weren't.

They are 10.5 inches or if you round you get 11 inches. The sticks I order say they are 11 inches from the distributor.

I soak them for roughly 24 hours. The stick will only hold so much oil. It is like soaking a sponge in a pail of water. The sponge is only going to hold so much water no matter how long you leave it in there. Soaking for longer than 24 hours is not necessary!

No I do not double dip. Double dipping is not necessary if your using a high quality oil. That statement is really a marketing ploy for the most part. Kind along the lines of Hand Dipping. Maybe there really are people double dipping but it is simpler to just use a higher concentrated oil to make extra strength sticks.

They will burn 45-60 minutes.

I ship daily - 7 days a week ( If package is small enough to go in mail collection box). I hate waiting for items to arrive so I try and not make you wait any longer than necessary. I have had people get them in just two days.
