Yep, when I was still actively trading plants I switched from Priority Mail to UPS for the most part... I'd rather pay a little more and know when the box would get there! If it takes a Priority Mail box 3 weeks to arrive, there's no refund or reimbursement for dead plants; USPS figures as long as the box gets there, no worries.

I think the USPS is trying to improve the above situation... their tracking does seem to be getting a little more meaningful... and as Sandy mentioned, they do guarantee the expedited delivery times.

The only thing that is truly guaranteed is Express Mail. I sent a package to California last week priority, left here on Saturday morning and arrived on Thursday Grumbling . Absolutely no recourse.

I used my new gloves this morning to weed, then changed to my long rose gloves since I was getting into the Bromeliads and needed the extra protection.

I remember packing up your order, Linda/@Gymgirl. In my haste to move along quickly I wrote down "JimGirl" and clearly left it labeled "For Pick Up". I hope you know now that you are officially Jim's girl, whom ever Jim is? Rolling on the floor laughing

I really have enjoyed doing this. What I love in life is making others smile and I accomplished that with so many being so happy here. This really was a great deal on these gloves and it made them so affordable for so many. I know they were more affordable for me and David. We ordered enough and he paid half that it will be years before we need more if we ever do. Big Grin

I can not imagine paying between 5 and 9 dollars a pair for these gloves. I really love them and anytime I am gardening I am using them. I had started using nitrile gloves but my hands would sweat so bad I couldn't stand it. I still use them for things like crushing egg shells and you have to be so careful with raw eggs and I use all the eggs we eat in the garden. Or treating poison ivy as I can just strip the glove off in the trash can.

I am so glad you are all so happy and only 2 mistakes were made and one is fixed and working on the other. The last 5 will go out as soon as I receive them.

I hope you all have a wonderful week. Lovey dubby Lovey dubby Group hug Group hug

We have more snow on the way... by the time it's all gone, my gloves might be here! I know we're waiting on a few XLs, no problem. Smiling

Mine got here safe and sound! Thank you again.
It has not stopped raining so I will keep them clean until it is a sunny day. Or....... slightly less rainy. Definitely not waiting until it is 70 here!
The XL fit the snookums perfectly too. I was afraid they would be too big.
Thank you again for all your hard work.

THANK YOU!

Mine arrived Friday, and they fit great. I didn't expect them to LOOK so classy, but the black fabric with gray shiny nitrile palms really look stylish. They look so good I might keep a clean pair in the glove compartment as driving gloves in cold weather.

My first glove-task was putting on compression stockings and getting rid of the wrinkles. They worked well!
