Ram4Life2k16 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I just got an order and there is cardboard debris/fibers in my towels, most of it came out. I'll try washing them tonight. I think it would be better if they were put in plastic bags for shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind though, the towels also come to us minus a bag--just in LARGE boxes. It's a good rule of thumb to shake the everlivin' out of them or even wash them before you use them.

BlueGenCoupe Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 yea mine too came with carboard debri in them...i just picked them out and gave them a good shake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveVY Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Yep, I prewash mine! I always prewash mine too! I won't wear new clothes before washing them since I don't know where the clothes have been or what chemicals they may have on them. In the same way I won't put towels on my car until I know they are clean and don't have unwanted foreign material on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corners Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I just got an order and there is cardboard debris/fibers in my towels, most of it came out. I'll try washing them tonight. I think it would be better if they were put in plastic bags for shipping. I believe it was in Feb?? this year that I notified Ashley about the same thing. "All" my towels had cardboard in them - I managed to hand pick out and shake out most of the larger pieces but there were other and very smaller pieces that I used tweezers to get them out. I'm not sure all of this is cardboard because some of the extremely smaller pieces, after washing, are still in two of the towels. I asked if my next shipment of towels could be wrapped in "something." The great workers at the wharehouse did indeed wrap them in plastic and put tap around them. However this last shipment I received, they were just laying on the bottom of the box, not wrapped. I honestly don't believe it would be fair to Adam and crew if we asked them to wrap every towel in plastic and then tape it shut. All I'm trying to do is get the bigger pieces out and my best to go after the smaller ones. So far I haven't used these towels on any detail.

Chewy Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I believe that's why they are looking at another method of keeping them clean and particle free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see your posting again...good to have you back:thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 All towels should be washed prior to use. As Mook pointed out, even if we bag them for you, they're shipped to us unbagged so we don't necessarily want to give you a false sense of security when it comes to your towels. They should all be closely inspected, shaken, and washed before their first use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE Mook Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 SO! We are currently in process of getting all towels starting with this afternoon's orders into bags with header cards on them. They look spiffy! Mook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigredmariner Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Sweet! I have been putting mine in bags when I get them since I first became a dealer last year. A zip-lock style bag and a decal with my contact info on it, about $ 0.12 per towel but good advertising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Machine Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 That's what ziplock bags are for!!!!! I was surprised when mine came in different shipments naked so to speak! Just shakem out but mine have had a little dirt or dust on them just washed them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corners Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Bill, Did you get your issues resolved with the AF? I see your posting again...good to have you back:thumbsup: Dave: Yes I did. Yes, I'm back to posting again. I'll eat crow, beg, etc to be back simply because I came to realize one can not carry a grudge and be happy in life. The other - I missed ALL the great guys on here and ALL the great wealth of information they - you - put out. Couldn't get along without it. The deeper I get into detailing, which simply started out wanting to do my own vehicles has now grown to me doing a few - here and there - other vehicles. I was at first afraid to touch my own paint with a PC/Flex and here I am, moving right along. However, my laptop and this homepage is right out in my shop with me. Many many times I was completely confused about the proper thing to do. I just searched the forum, found the correct answer and let a sigh of relief out. It's good to be back and many thanks Dave.
