No more Rock Auto Magnets?

My last couple of orders have not had magnets.  Have they stopped the magnet tradition?

Maybe 30 years from now when ice cars have been eliminated, these magnets will be worth big $$ like baseball and Pokémon cards. 

I got some in my last order a couple of weeks ago. If it's changed, it must be more recent than that. That reminds me, I need to order wheel bearings...

My last few orders have been hit or miss. Flexplate in an oversized box? No magnet. Fuel pump assembly? Two magnets. $15 cabin air filter? One magnet

Mine have been hit or miss as well. I wonder if it has to do with which warehouse they ship from?

I wish it were only magnets. My last few orders have been parts I didn't order or for another car altogether and I'm left with paying FedEx return fees. "Oh these S2000 wheel hubs I ordered have a 4x100 bolt pattern! Neat"

I've had at least three orders come without magnets.

Why does this annoy me so much?

In reply to ddavidv :

The order I received today had a magnet. 

Got a magnet in my order received just a couple weeks ago.  Jealous of guys that have gotten more than one in a box.  I've never gotten more than one, some orders have none.

Seems to be order procurement person dependent. 
 

If you want a 5pk of magnets you can order them from under the tools/universal parts tab.

An entire side of one of the 12 foot tall posts of my Bend-Pak lift is covered with them. I'm gonna be rich! 

I don't care about magnets, I want the right parts and good customer service. 
I guess that's why I gave up on RA. 

Lets be honest, do any of us really need more Rock Auto magnets?

Yes, yes I do 

I've ordered a lot of parts from then recently, all have come with magnets. Guessing the OP just got unlucky and caught their occasional miss.

I do after the "tool box labeling" thread.  I had avoided labeling the drawers as I didn't want to scrap off labels in the future. Then someone posted the "well, duh..." comment about putting P-Touch labels on magnets. And those RockAuto magnets I've been tossing for ages would be perfect for that.

I've had to use them a couple times recently because they were the only ones I could get the brand I wanted quickly and reasonably. But yeah, their CS is absolutely non-existent. They screw up and you have to pay to ship it back.

No, but yes. My current status:

I received an order yesterday without magnet as well. :(

Been hit or miss, magnet-wise for me too. But they've been rock solid orderwise for me. 

Meanwhile, a recent FCPEuro order sat at the "processing" stage for 2 weeks, at which point they informed me that one of the parts I ordered was NLA (Mercedes says otherwise).  Then they finally shipped the remainder and threw in an in-cabin filter for a Mercedes SLS AMG, one of which sadly I do not own.

That E36 rallying magnet!  Not sure I've ever seen an in-action shot on a magnet.   

Plenty of times i have been surprised to find the magnet in the box(as well as all my parts) due to the box having holes and tears on it. 

I seem to only get magnets if the order is over $100. I think my wife got rid of my stash on the fridge.  

I've never had a mistake on an order, but have received broken parts.

I got a magnet with an audi 4000 and being the B2 VW/Audi chassis fan, I can't find it.
