Bob Dale Gloves 63171PXL Welding Cape Sleeve Split Cowhide

From another thread


I ordered a Bob Dale Gloves 601126X3L Welding Jacket Split Cowhide Brown Kevlar Sewn that was priced at $19.97, say $20. A quick look showed it dramatically below list. the X3L meant XXX size.


"It" arrived, it was a Bob Dale Gloves Welding Cape Sleeve Split Cowhide, medium. (The link shows a pearl, I got a brown)


Way too small, not a jacket, so I did a return for exchange. Didn't want my money, wanted the jacket.


They shipped me another identical cape at no charge, $0.00.


So I started the return process again. But this time the website indicated I would get $0.00 back, since I didn't pay for the one I was returning.


So I call Amazon (what a pain finding a phone number). After a long wait I finally get a CS droid.
Yes, I can return it and get my $20 back AND THEN BUY IT AGAIN AT THE $165 PRICE!!


I raised a stink. Got a a manager on the line, raised a stink with him. The best he would offer was the $20 back and buy it again at $165. I hung up.
For $20 I'd keep the cape for a gift.


The next day I get an email from the CS manager - he's refunding the $20 and sending another "jacket" in 3 large..


The other jacket gets to me. Again a cape medium. So I call him up AGAIN. End result he tells me to keep one cape and refunds my $$.

<snip>.

So it seems they've messed up something again because if you just search for
Bob Dale Gloves Welding cape
on Amazon the almost identical capes run up to $147.44. The cape I got was definitely worth $20.

Wow. Quite a tale. Looks like you could sell a couple of medium jackets for $100 each on eBay - make someone very happy at that price, AND make some $$$ for your troubles.

I think I would get more mileage out of a weld apron,,,
