I got a bundle of those atlas gloves, compared to the blue fabric dipped gloves, they wear like iron, but aren't quite as grippy. They are still a little warm for the so called fall we've been having. When it is colder I will really love them
I found a notice in my mailbox today that there is a $1.34 postage due on the Polar Penguins from amazon , It clearly said free shipping from Dragon Supply , already sent a message , I don't know who screwed up but now I have to go to PO pay postage and pick them up There was another odd thing , the tracking number was not right it did not work
They do pretty good though , one little thing out of all the things I have got from there is pretty good average , I gotta let em know they screwed up though
It's funny that you mention that because I've been feeling guilty about buying so many things from Amazon instead of local. Some non-perishable grocery items I have started buying at Amazon because the grocery store stopped carrying them
Well it comes down to the $$$ in the end Local Bike shop wanted $60 for a KMC bike chain I got it for $ 20 on Amazon (so bought 2 to get free shipping) I told the shop , says he can’t compete with them.
I only wish I had bought a few thousand shares of stock in Amazon 20 years ago. I'd be rich enough now that I could afford to buy stuff from local stores instead of Amazon.
I am really liking these Anti-Impact gloves from Ocean State Job Lots. $8.99, but the first pair is holding up well, and they are super comfortable, so I went back for more before they disappear.
I have gotten amazing customer service from Amazon. No questions asked/ shipping paid returns are a no brainer. If I don't receive Prime ships in the 2 days, send an email and inform them, they give you an additional month of Prime. ....and that's no biggie for them..... It is a different world we live in. When the winds of change blow, build windmills.
I use these Atlas fit gloves, found a place that sells them wholesale at I think about $36 per dozen. I use them all the time unless dealing with thorny stuff.
I allowed myself to buy one pair of the Showa Atlas 300 gloves last week, even though the price of a single pair was almost a quarter the cost of a full dozen. But why buy a dozen pairs if I were to hate the first one, I'd never use the rest. Anyway, I have used the pair for the past week, including loading the wood boiler every day since getting them (Wednesday I think), and splitting/stacking about half a cord of wood over the weekend. Granted, that's minimal use, but my Wells Lamont leather gloves would already be showing a little wear. The Atlas gloves are dirty and that's about it. No visible wear on palms or fingertips. I was also surprised to notice that they tend to conform to my hand better than the leather gloves. I'll see how long they last and if I can get through the rest of my fall chores and another 4-5 cords of firewood C/S/S, I think these will replace the leather gloves I'd been using. Especially since I can get 12 pairs for less than the price of two of the others.
