Does anyone have an idea if ordering from Kleen Rite or anybody else is cheaper then ordering from your local carwash supply when you include shipping vs. sales tax????

For me shipping usually runs about 8%. Sales tax if purchased locally is 8.25%. Shipping and sales tax is a wash. I usually use Windtrax and their price is usually 20% lower than locally.

No brainer for me........ Buy it online and a few days later it shows up on my doorstep.

We dont pay sales tax on the orders but our last armor all/ window cleaner freight was $50.00.

I bought at least a years worth at the Vegas show from KR. Free shipping and almost all of the products had a deal like 1 free box with purchase of 3. I doubled my vend price to $2 from $1 on most products and I still sell about the same. Very price inelastic, and a lot less work filling the vending machine. BTW I bought a ShurVend - rock solid and terrific company to work with.

yea u just have to compare...shipping cost usually eat up all the savings. I purchase mine locally, not saving that much when purchase from KR...and seems, it takes forever to receive the product.

Kr usually has free shipping about 4 times a year and at conventions. Till the end of june you can buy 3- 5gal of soap and get one free and free shipping and load pallet with supplies with the free shipping. I think they have put at least 15 boxes of armorall on for me. Got a pallet from quick dry during vegas show with free ship and and a few free boxes. I think the little trees are having a price increase on July 1 . Fairly easy to get free shipping on big orders,I think KR gives free ship on all pallet orders not just soap., but ask them first.

I mostly order vending from Windtrax and try to order a lot at a time. Windtrax is closer so the shipping is cheaper. The vending supplies are pretty much the same between Windtrax and Kleen-Rite.

I also try to take advantage of the free shipping offers from Kleen-Rite. It's not hard to get a $500 order for vending put together.

I see KR has a special on Armor all, buy 10 get one free! That doesnt sound like much, they have gone up about $3.00 a box...... I dont know if that is a deal or not.....
