I'm still waiting for my 2 orders I placed the middle of last week. Which has me pondering moving across the country to Florida so I can get my stuff quicker. If AG offered a service like Amazon's Prime would anyone here pay for it? I know I would. I'd drop $100 a year if they offered it.

Being just a hobby detailer, I couldn't pay that much.

A large part of the reason Amazon is able to offer Prime is because of their numerous regional warehouses. Plus they ship about a bazillion times as many packages as AG...so when they talk, shippers listen.

But if you are "pondering moving across the country" aren't you eligible for this? http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/company-forum-news-headlines/70967-west-coast-shipping.html

Nope. I don't need stuff badly enough that I would pay up-front to get it quicker. If I was running a business it might be different, but if I was running a business, I would manage my supplies inventory so I wouldn't run out and have to pay for expedited shipping.

I have to admit the AG shipping could be improved. When I order from CarPro I get my order in 2 days and AG usually takes a week or more. They are both in the same state.

You choose the free 3 day upgrade when you ordered?

Yeah, for those of you who are eligible, it seems like they should make it automatic, or at least show it to you in the shipping options.
