I know the reason that CG's gallons aren't full is for UPS and other shipping companies, but I wish they could be a little more accurate with just how much theyre going to leave out. I received some CWG and Grime reaper this morning, neither is full, but there must be 20 washes worth missing from the CWG! Come on CGs, get it together.

If you can get past the high shipping rates, horrible customer service, unorganized website, cheap labels that get damaged when water touches it, and how they come about with their prices on 16oz and Gals [compare 16oz of sticky wheel gel($15.95) and diablo($10.95) HERE , and Gal of sticky wheel gel(36.54) and diable($64.23) HERE] they are not so bad. :lol At least their products are decent.
 
the grime reaper is normal as far as the fill/amount (right below the start of the side handle), but not the cw&g...



here's an example as well...

Realizing you don't care for the company very much and ignoring the rest of your post, there is nothing wrong with their shipping rates. I suspect you have no idea how much it actually costs to ship gallon jugs of liquids.
 
Well said, go down to your local UPS store and ship some stuff - I have and do often - trading stuff with other members here. Shipping ain't cheap, and I usually go in with some others when there is free shipping and we want to get some gallon jugs of stuff.
 
:har: I know how much it is to ship gal products. Ignore my post if you want. You dont know me from anybody else. I have several of their products. I dont have to like the company to like their products.



If they had any right business sense they wouldn't use cheap labels and have such a large price difference between 16oz to gal size products.

I know what shipping prices are as I ship products out all the time. There is a big difference between someone small like me shipping products out and a big company like CG with a commercial shipping account.

A gallon of water weighs 8.34 pounds.



WikiAnswers - How much does one gallon of water weigh



I suspect by the time you put that gallon of water in a plastic container and then in a box with packing materials it weighs a minimum of 10 pounds. I also suspect a lot of their products weigh more than water. I just loaded a gallon of Pure Carnauba Creme Wax - Warm Deep Color ($28.95) into my cart to check their shipping rates. Shipping from California to a commercial address in Florida is $7.11. Their shipping rates are more than reasonable, they are cheap. Create an imaginary 10 pound package of an appropriate size to hold a gallon container and check rates with USPS, UPS and FedEx. Then come back and say CG's shipping rates are excessive. You might not like the company, their customer service and/or products, but to complain about their shipping rates is baseless and unfair.



Edit: Mequiar's standard shipping rates:



If your Order is: Shipping Cost

$0.00 - $19.99 $6.95

$20.00 - $39.99 $7.95

$40.00 - $59.99 $8.95

$60.00 - $79.99 $9.95

$80.00 - $99.99 $10.95

$100.00 - $119.99 $11.95

$120.00 & above 10% of Order Total
 
You'r so funny! You're making this even bigger than it has to be. I never even said I didnt like their products and in fact said I liked them. I mentioned shipping one time and never even mentioned to you where I order my CG products so stop assuming things. This is after all my thoughts on the company right? I live on the east coast so why would I order from CG in Cali when I can just order from DetailedImage (NY) and not have to bother directly with the company.

Thats about a Gal. Also consider if the container is expanded (qty would reveal itself at a lower level)

I doubt it. If that's full, then the overfill capacity of that container is what, 15%? Nobody would buy a product filled like that just based on visual fill alone... that or the container needs a drastic international revision for 1 gallon volumes

Not being funny, just correcting misinformation. You took a shot at CG that was both inaccurate and unfair. I pointed that out and rather than just acknowledge you were wrong or ignore it, you persisted. Now your current version you weren't really complaining about CG's shipping rates, but the rates third party resellers were charging to ship CG products? Please.

I complained about CG's shipping not the third party seller as I dont like to deal with the manufacturer directly. Its simple and this is how it is. CG, west coast. DetailedImage, east coast. I live in the east coast therefore its better for me to order from DI, period. Either way I am no longer even interested in this debate. I've moved. Lets try to get back on topic now as others have tried.
