The first (which hasn't arrived yet) cost £12 a kilo + £3 postage.
The second one (which I found after I'd placed the other order) arrived today 1.9kg cost £12.50 including postage. There are 29 bars of soap and at least 9 varieties. Not individually labelled but there is a list of ingredients for each colour soap - if you can match them! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174644732494?...SwdGtgL8Rs
Although they're sold as "wedges" you wouldn't really notice the taper on most of them.
Smell nice too!
I've just ordered some of these to drop in with presents for family! Smile

Mine arrivd today but no ingredient list? The postage label showed £8.99 postage so they didn't make alot out of them?
I don't really want to get back to them for an ingredient list, so any chance Veggie? Huh Dodgy

They do smell nice and there are a lot of them. Cool

Don't know if I've kept it, Vinny. It was all on one side of paper, just a long list of ingredients and a brief description of the soap (colour. scent etc).

I wrote down all the varients the seller sold and decided to have sniff-athon. Smile I think I have about eight variaties but by the time I had finished sniffing them, they all smelled the same! Rolleyes
Deffo some lavendar.deffo some orange-lsh both by colour. Had a hint of lime so that would probably be the lavendar and lime. Then I got peed off and said "Sod it" if anyone asks they are just 'hand made soaps' Big Grin

That's much what I thought too!
Incidentally, the postage on mine was £3.20. How many boxes did you buy?

Just one box? The only thing I can think of is that it went over the 2Kg limit for the £3.20 rate? Huh

Just checked, yes I was right 02.028kg! Cry

Brilliiant SC. Smile One thing I have found is that you can't only go by colour of soap as to it's ingredients? Huh I've only tried one which was a beige colour and it's got a full on lavendar scent and lathers very easily. Well impressed!  Cool

They must have slipped a couple of extra bars in your box, Vinny. Smile

Sat last night with some spare wrapping paper and wrapped up three differnt coloured bars each for Daughter,two Daughter in laws and Sister as a smelly addition to there Crimbo presents.  Smile
Still got loads left which I don't think I will live long enough to use. Rolleyes

One thing I did notice was that it left a greasy mark on the inside of the wrapping paper, not that it should matter? Huh I should have maybe have wrapped it in sellophane first.
