I know this because I just bought some stuff from them. Instead of it shipping right away like a lot of other retailers, they didn't actually ship my stuff until three days after I ordered. Yes, they let everyone know that there's a one to two day processing period, but I thought surely a simple order of wheel polish, powerballs, and soap wouldn't take three days JUST TO SHIP.
So.... please don't use Autogeek. |
Shipping at most of these car care sites cost an arm and a leg. At least with AutoGeek, if you spend $75 or more, you can use the "AGO" coupon code for free shipping. Even if their prices might be slightly higher than another retailer, the free shipping almost always makes them the cheapest in the end. $75 is a very reasonable amount to spend to get free shipping. My last order with AutoGeek was $80.XX and was a heavy 26 lbs. To get free shipping also? That just makes the deal even sweeter! You know how much it costs to ship a 26 lb package from CA to NY? $30.98 via Parcel Post!
With AutoDetailingSolutions, I always had to buy more than $100 worth of product just to take advantage of a $16.95 flat rate (after the $100). With Danase, you have to spend $195 to get free shipping.
As far as the waiting period goes for shipment, I usually order in the middle of the night, and by the end of the day they will have shipped my order (assuming they have all my products in stock.) The only times I've had problems with my orders was when something wasn't in stock (like the
CCS pads when they first came out after Xmas), but they went out of their way to make up for it by sending free replacement pads until more of the CCS pads came in. I've had a couple problems with my orders from them before, but each time they always went above and beyond to resolve it.
My main problem with AutoGeek is that I'm in California and they're in FL, so shipping takes a full 5 business days to get here. But beggars can't be choosers. I don't mind waiting when shipping is on the house. They've explained in the past that they're having growing problems, even after moving into a bigger warehouse. I wouldn't mind if they opened a 2nd warehouse on the West Coast.
