We had three fuel surcharge increases in the last 2 weeks ...so far we are sucking it up..but if they continue, you can guarantee it will be affecting the consumer soon enough:censored:

Ughhhh! Well you got to do what you got to do. I know i cannot speak for everyone, but i am pretty sure that you Sponsors hate having to increase pricing just as much as we hate having it done but you got to survive and make money after all. I happen to have an acquaintance that works for Fed-Ex and he can ship alomost anything for like 5.00. I have had to call in a few favors before with some very large packages that were going to cost me well over the 100.00 mark. Called him he says send me 10.00 and then has me sign into his account and print a label out. Funny thing about Ground shipping that i always wondered about. Do you really think they drive your package on the ground the whole time???

It`s a last resort, but eventually does happen

all except Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico from what I understand

[rabbi]

Why not Hawaii?

C`mon, don`t freak out about the cost of living raising the prices on our deatailing supplies. Rumor has that the DC sponsors are gonna up our discount to 20% :no: :

[Spilchy]

Besides that, I know that almost every Sponsor on this board includes a freebee like a mf , extra applicator, a calandar besides excellent service

Only one (SMP) of all the DC sponsors I have ordered from over the years have included a freebie. (Except the free WW from Autogeek). I`ve never gotten anything for free!

But I do appreciate the discount

I get free samples from FinishKare

Oh, it took me 6 hours to shovel out 20 inches and 4 foot drifts off my property. Not to mention a re-shovel of the driveway apron this morning as the snow plow blocked it with a foot of wet snow.

[SilverLexus]

I`ve never gotten anything for free!

Patrick at Excel Detail always includes a peppermint candy.

Seriously, many of the vendors and sponsors have from time to time included samples free of charge. AutoGeek, Poorboys, PakShak, ExcelDetail, SMP, PAC, and others have been particularly generous with deals as well.

My bet is we some more action around the main Spring months as detailing season kicks in.

I`ve always gotten free packing foam. And a handy cardboard box.

I`ve always gotten free packing foam. . . .

And I`ve heard that those foam peanuts can be quite an "entertainment" all by themselves!! :yes:

We call them Ghost Poop.

[rabbi]

I call them %^%*&$# peanuts!

[DetailQueen]

have learned while carrying a box full of peanuts to garbage can make sure it is not open and the wind is not blowing, otherwise they become snow for the neighbor`s yard !~

Man, I feel bad for the east coast. We were close to 90 degrees yesterday. Felt like spring time.

If you want free packing foam buy a tuba. We had a lot of fun swimming in that here at the dorm. 250 gallons of packing peanuts+20 inebriated individuals=FUN TIMES.

look at it from the companies view point. if they dont sell product for price they go out of buissness, they go under and then our really hooped. The prices are still great as they are. Also their are laws (im not sure what they are in the states) about sales and the prices and whatnot aloud. So i think you gonna have to take the hit on this one. I know persnaly i am more then happy paying the prices, i know iget what i pay for and i know that i will be satified, like eveything and life you get what you pay for

[jaybs02]

Everybody`s entitled to make a living, maybe we forget that this is how our sponsors earn theirs. So if they have to raise their price a little (or not lower them as the statement was) to cover operating expenses so be it.

I know it costs extra for them to ship to a home address as well, that`s why I have my stuff shipped to me at my place of business. It may not be much, but if it helps keep the shipping costs from rising I`ll do it.
