What is all of this about?
You used to get a free sample at $50, but now it is at $95. Then again, they don't have to give out anything for free.

Why?
That's true, and I'm appreciative but, it benefits AG to offer them. Allowing customers to try a product will result in more sales if the customer is satisfied with the product. If not, AG is out 2-4oz. not a big loss.

The only reason I have bought DGPS and Pinnacle Leather conditioner is because of those samples.
BTW the leather conditioner is one of the best smelling condtioners I have used.

Yeah, I've never received anything free from anywhere else I've ordered supplies. So what's the big deal.

I'm not here to 'cry' about free stuff, however, it feels good to get a 'regalo' (spanish word for free gift from stores!). For us that have to deal with large shipping quotes + 60% tax (order+shipping), it would be nice to receive anything else to try out, to minimize the operational costs 'damage'.
I always wonder what I could have ordered when I have to pay a ~$100 shipping, plus ~$250 tax each order...
A Flex? The whole Pinnacle Black Label Line?
After complaining, never forget there's always someone else in a very worst situation!
Again, not crying about it, I'm happy even receiving only what I ordered (yes, nothing wrong with that).
Thank you autogeek for supplying my detailing needs.
Kind Regards.

What Tato said is true I never received any samples no matter how much I spent on any other store or online site. AG will be my only place to get my detailing supplies. WHY??? great customer service I ever experience plus then a freebie!!! really make my order experience 2 thumbs up!!!!!

My original post was a sterling example of why digital communication can obfuscate the tone someone is trying to convey in their message. I meant my post to be of a playful, nostalgic nature, not a complaint leveled at Autogeek.
Autogeek is an invaluable resource, both for products and information related to a passion those outside of the detailing community rarely appreciate, if ever. AG staff is world class and I will continue to do business with them without hesitation. I mean, there are times I can save enough $$ through them honoring price matches and shipping rates that I can purchase a sample anyway. I just miss the lower threshold, which allowed for the more casual detailer to experiment with some of the higher-end lines (WG, BF, Pinnacle) AG carries, that's all.
Why? We're all adults. There's no need for censorship in this case.
Correct; they don't.
:iagree: with these two. In fact, WG TSR is on my shortlist of products to purchase after receiving a 2 oz. sample with a $60 order and having loved its performance!
No big deal, it's just a pleasant compliment for the casual detailer not always ordering $95 worth of products at a time, and there are other places that offer free products with eligible orders.
:iagree: Aptly put Tato.

My wife was going through my Christmas wish list that I have made and brought up a good point. Why are there not sample packs? Pick 5 or so for $x. She would gladly over-pay-per-ounce to get me several different products that I want for my stocking. It only makes sense.
I'm just putting it out there, I'm not here to complain, she'll buy me one thing of paste wax instead Im sure. Would be nice, and profitable for AG, if there was a bundle or something like that.

To me, it's an added bonus. There have been times where I forget to put one of those free samples in my cart. It is neat that they do it and I have purchased larger quantities of a product because of those samples, but it is something they are able to do, not something they have to do.
I do see where you're coming from but the reason I buy from AG is due to the great service they offer, not free samples.

This would be a great idea!!
I agree with the above statement.
It's only common sense (which is not so common, really).
Zymol has sample packs that you can get of some of their higher end waxes.
If you want people to buy your products, and there is no other way to introduce them to it other than word of mouth (this forum, for example), if makes perfect sense to let people get a taste of it.
Major computer manufacturers such as Dell, for example, have buy/try programs to let you use their products for a certain period (a few weeks) and if you don't like it, you can return it (I am talking about high dollar infrastructure devices, not your run of the mill laptops and desktops).
Restaurants put out sample dishes for people to try. My grocery store across the street does it.
So the concept is not revolutionary. You can give it away at no charge, if you wish, with purchases above a certain dollar threshold, or make it available for a nominal cost. And Autogeek does both, I believe. I also believe that a sample pack can generate additional interest and revenue.

I think the 5 products for $x.xx is a great idea too. Perfect for stocking stuffers or someone with a wish list like mine ($$$$), you get quite a bit of product at a great price point and you get the try-it/buy-it mentality.
