I needed some more supplies and product so had put together a list of the products I needed. I had always ordered from AutoGeek in the past because they were very helpful, friendly, and always had a discount or two to give me but after hearing about ADS and how pleased everyone on here was with that supplier figured I'd give them a try and worked up my order based on the ADS online pricing.
Before placing my order with ADS though I found a local paint/body shop supply store (I guess Meguiar's calls them a PBE store) 10 minutes from me that carried the product I needed. I went to see them and he had 1/2 of what I needed in stock and the other product he had either in his warehouse or another one of his store locations. He had my entire complete order ready for me to pick up by the following afternoon (24 hours later) and best of all his pricing was 18% less than the ADS online price and because he was close and I picked it up no shipping expense!
Saving almost 20% on the product cost PLUS no shipping is pretty significant!
Item by items his actual product costs were cost to the ADS pricing - a dollor here or 50 cents there different but I figured at least saving shipping was worth it but after he put my entire order into his computer he found he could run me "bulk pricing" discount and that's where the saving really came in.
I saved about $40 on the actual product costs compared to the ADS prices plus shipping which with all the weights of 1 gal containers would probably be at least $50-$75 so I saved easily almost $100 or more I figure. not bad!
This is what I got: (I hope this doesn't break any forum rules - giving supplier costs)
all were 1 gal sizes except the #21 which was 64 oz size:
D155 Last Touch $14.31
D120 Glass Cleaner $13.08
D140 Wheel Brightener $14.73
D151 Paint Reconditioning Cream $25.28
D130 Body Solvent $18.83
M135 UQD $23.04
M21 Sealant $33.93
Total = $143.20
Oh, and no tax either because I'm in Delaware!
Not too bad huh?
Gotta love finding better prices on great quality products to make your day a good one.
