Shipping Rates

[Infiniti]

I was just on another website for detailing products and noticed they had $4.99 shipping on $49 and free shipping on $149. This is from now on they posted. Just wondering on Autogeek $95.00 is free shipping but quite a few times I just want to pick up a couple of things. I really don't mind paying 5 for 50 at all. What do you think about $5.00 for $50.00?

it doesn't matter what we think, I think shipping should be free all day every day, this is AGs website and they make the terms. Its $95 to get free shipping if you use a code, $125 no code on free ship block. There has been numerous threads on AG shipping etc, use the search button.

I did do the search and that is why I asked the question. Did you do a search before you gave me that response?

the $4.99 shipping on orders under $49 is a good idea and won't break the bank if someone wanted to order only one or two items, not to mention being able to get an order on saturday at no additional cost...

Until companies can teleport product to your living room, this shipping discussion will continue to wax and wane (no pun intended). It is one area where online businesses can compete on price to the consumer. I call that deal a good approach to compete effectively. Consumers still need to perform research even in the midst of BOGO and SALE hysteria.

AGO is getting close to the high-end on pricing for many of their products they sell. Other vendors see this and are finding ways to undercut them; quite easily at times. I can see what AGO is doing to compete with those acts in a manner that does not "copy" those approaches. I think both companies are doing their own intelligent things to get responses from consumers and I have no complaints. Time will tell whether or not one is more right than the other.

For what it's worth, I don't know how some companies can always do free shipping. Every time I go to UPS etc, it costs a small fortune.

I tend to get addicted to the free shipping that's offered all the time at sites like amazon, buy.com, etc, you name it. It's nice to shop knowing exactly what your final price is going to be and not having to always check or figure in shipping. I didn't buy from AG for a while, partly because it seems that to get a competitive deal, you HAVE to catch a sale of some type, and I kept missing the sales like I was playing whack-a-mole.

The great thing about ordering from AG is they have just about everything. If you have to order from 2 places its a hassle and you will likely have to pay shipping at least once. Also you know if there is a problem it will be made right. It may cost a few dollars more occasionally, but in business, at least in my business(pharmacy), inventory is a top cost. AG has a TON of inventory. They have almost everything.
