Black Friday...just another day at the Geek

[Nick McKees37]

It starts with packing peanuts....lots of packing peanuts.

You would think that's enough packing material to last a couple months....but it's not! Even though we only utilize packing peanuts for about 25% of our packing stations (the rest rely on paper packing), all those peanuts will be GONE in just a few days. We have YOU to thank for that!




Penny, the backbone of Autogeek customer service, makes it through each day with a smile on her face!




That's me...I'm pretending to work while I day dream about using the new Menzerna products on my desk.




Bobby and Danielle working hard.




James G walks so fast he leaves trails of smoke behind his shoes.




JJ showing off his Autogeek gear while he meticulously double checks every single order that makes it to his packing station.




Andres working hard packing and shipping Autopia orders.




There's always kits to be made!




Meghan is calling for me....back to work!

It's very simple to steer away from the peanuts........in the comments section of check out just put "paper only Please"

and your wish will be granted.

Another example of the outstanding customer service from AG.

Another jammed packed day at the Geek.

Let me know when you get your hands on the new Menzerna Nick.

Are packing noodles produced locally? Given they take up so much space, I cannot imagine the cost to just transport these very far. They probably cost so little produce but the handling expenses would like exceed the actual cost.

All of our packing material (boxes, packing peanuts, paper) is all sourced from a local (small) business. We try and get as much as we can from local suppliers for two reasons:

1. Fast turn around time.
2. Supports local businesses, most of which are family owned and operated.
