    Re: Obscene shipping fees

    ZAS and Car Care Products are such a rip off, I would never buy of them, as their prices are ridiculous, usually 3 times more then AG, where Collonite 845 is $34, flex 3401 is over $700, ONR is $35, LC ccs 6.5" pad is $24, Flex PE 14 $700, etc.

    They will not see my $$ that's for sure; long living AG.

    Re: Obscene shipping fees

    here are a few quick examples. AUD prices are from the company, USD are from autogeek.

    1. From waxit.com.au (the Australian Distributor)

    Detail Spritz $34.95 (AUD) and $19.99 (USD) giving 74.8% increase
    Totoal Swirl $59.95 (AUD) and $34.99 (USD) giving 71.3% increase

    2. From ZAS

    Meguiars Ultimate Liquid Wax $51.95 (AUD) and $22.99 (USD) giving 126.0% increase

    3. Car Care Products

    P21S Concours Carnauba Wax $63.95 (AUD) and $33.99 (USD) giving 88.1% increase

    I picked random products that I'm likely to buy that were also sold at autogeek, as you can see teh mark up is huge, so if you're buying a number of products then shipping quickly becomes "bareable", if the price is reasonable.

    Yeah, you really need to look at what is & isn't worth it.
    Definite savings to be had but...

    Best deal I got.
    Leatherique kit...

    $95AUD for 16oz/475mL of each product & 1 MF towel
    $80 USD for 32oz/950mL of each product, 2 MF towels & 2 applicators!

    By the way Magna Power, CG will be Chemical Guys...

    Re: Obscene shipping fees

    I would order more from AG if they shipped with Fed Ex. UPS not delivering on Saturdays is sometimes a deal killer for me. I found another online store that does ship only with FedEx.

    We ship FedEx, UPS, US Mail, you just have to let us know which you prefer when you order.

    That's great to know! I don't think I ever saw the option for FedEx, that would be helpful I think, also for others that prefer FedeX.

    All you need to do is put "SHIP FEDEX" in the comments box at Checkout.
