Detailing Survey!

**Andrew C.** · 03-02-2011, 01:00 AM

Hey All

Just wondering if you could take a minute to fill out these 9 questions on detailing for a project I am doing in school.

Detailing Survey

Thank You,

Andrew C.

Andrew C.- I found Q#5 to be ambiguously worded

Sorry Accumulator, I seem to have been getting that response a lot. Do you have any suggestions on how to word it better? This is what is currently there:

"5. Some vendors offers Free Shipping when you purchase $x.xx in goods. If you have less than $x.xx in your cart when done shopping, do you buy more to bump your total spending over $x.xx, or do you stick with what you have and pay for the shipping?"

When I finish my project, I`ll go ahead and post up any correlations that I found with the survey results! :xyxthumbs

I think that`s worded perfectly well, except the "offers" part should be "offer". Other than that I don`t see any issues... made sense to me first time I read it. Then I re-read it and it made sense again

PS. Just completed survey

Andrew C.- Sorry, I was offline/out of town. That rewording is better :xyxthumbs

My answer to #5 would change depending on how close I was to amount which would give free shipping, I mean I`m not going to buy another $20 in product to save less than that in shipping.

I gotta say that I`ll buy staples (e.g., shampoo) in quantity to get the best shipping price, adding another gallon or two to make the threshold. I figure I`ll spend the money on that product eventually anyhow so I might as well save the shipping. Not like money that`s just sitting in checking accounts earns anything.

Trying to bring in a little more results

**Dr. Woo** · 03-08-2011, 08:20 PM

Done and done.

Hey guys, here are the results so far. I`ve had 250 respondants to the survey, but

unfortunately I didn`t realize something about survey monkey. It only gives you

the first 100 responses and you have to sign up for a paid account with survey

monkey to get all of the other responses. So I`m posting up the results from the

first 100.

Also, the free response questions are not organized in charts like these other

ones, but rather are just given in a list, so I`m not including them on here.

Here it is:

Andrew C.- Thanks for posting those results. Interesting that so many people are on so many forums!

Come to think of it, I was wondering whether "brink and mortar detailing stores" would include autopaint/body supply places :think:
