25% off... really????

**machz** · 06-08-2018, 06:14 AM

I have used autogeek for years and will continue to do so. For me they have always been great for support and they carry almost everything I need. I also get a great forum with tons of information that I can't get from other sources. The prices especially with the sales are good and I don't mind waiting a few extra days. People need to look at what autogeek offers as a total package and it's not difficult to see it's way more than other suppliers.

I don't mind waiting either. Shipments usually come within a week, which is quite all right. Sucks if I am out of something but I try to order when I get low, not when I run out.

The shipping fees have always bothered me though. It's usually about half 33% to 50% of the amount of the order. Even if it's light items like buffing pads. I think Autogeek likes to make a bit of extra money on shipping. The fact they keep having free shipping sales but never reduce shipping costs to Canada when they do is a bit insulting to me. As I said earlier, it's not a lot of money but it's a matter of principle.

I can *kinda* give em a break on shipping costs at times; shipping is getting expensive.

For a while now I've been purging my shelves of stuff and offering it up over on sister site; have shipped many things, various weights/sizes. Even the smallest, lightest boxes are $10+ to ship. I'm sure AG gets far better rates than I do but still, shipping ain't cheap

I doubt the rates are that much cheaper.

I fully appreciate the costs businesses face these days, but it kills me when I only want a single, small, item. Not long ago I was looking at another site for a sample size bottle of product. I was thrilled to see sample sizes were avilable, right up until the point where I started to check out and noticed the shipping was more than the price of the item I wanted to purchase.

That being said: whenever AG runs a sale that includes free shipping I definitely have no issues (well.. except them using FedEx) ordering from them even if it’s slower. I just like to support them.

The nice thing about AG is that the free shipping without any minimum price is not a regular occurrence, so it sort of tempers the impulse to buy any and everything that looks interesting (which is a very long list of things.) They also have a wide variety of products. Much more than I find other places.

i try to support AG too. What is tough for me is their shipping despite what the weight is. Then I have to wait a few weeks for delivery. So typically I read the forums and casually add items to my cart that i don't really need, but want to try. Then when there's a good free shipping and 20% sale I will submit a $200 order. This method generally works ok for the hobbyist that I am, but if I just need one bottle of something or a few pads I really can't justify using AG. Takes too long and no free shipping just doesn't cut it when amazon can have it to me in 2 days for roughly the same price.

I hear you on that. I learned from TheGuz to use padded envelopes from USPS and that brings costs down to just over $7.

And I have stuff I want to purge off my shelves, but man, that shipping cost!!!!

I didn't. I simply waited for a sale here at AG with free shipping and I purchased a larger bottle. I really hope I like it since I'll have enough to last me a very long time!
