Klingspor, excellent customer service.

Bert,
Are you actually saying you received “trash”, as in someone opened it up, took the product and filled it with household/office throw away trash?

OR, are you saying that the “sanding” products were of such low quality to be considered trash?

I am trying to say that what I received is useless.

I agree, they have excellent customer service and quality products. We used them for years.

Perhaps “bargain box” means exactly that (i.e. roll the dice, deal with it)? That’s my take on the e-mail you got.

I ordered bargain boxes several times in the past and I was very pleased with what I got not this time.

-- Bert

well Bert…I’m not familar with your vendor nor “bargain box” (that tells me I’m buying discontinued/reject/overstock products). maybe you got lucky in the past and what you got this time is what you paid for? Slot machines don’t show cherries on every pull!

I do have to agree. The terms “Grab bags” and “bargain boxes” infer that the purchase is somewhat of a gamble. At least in my mind anyway. BUT- if the entire box was creased-up pieces of 1500g; I might cry foul too.

IMO, and only IMO, it appears to me that Bert is attempting to lay the groundwork for ‘someone else’ to bad mouth Klingspor. Bert apparently lives in “ME’jipped” along dat’ river, yew ‘noze… Da’ Nile and doesn’t want to be identified as the culprit.

Bert, your posts on this thread are so thinly veiled that even I would lend you my doo-rag to cover up. I am actually embarrassed for you.

Bert, or is this a “Klingsor took care of me” thread? Melanie replied that they were sending out another box free of charge, which fulfilled the request you sent them via email.

Have you been drinking or smoking something?
I could upset by your insinuations by I choose not to be.
Mike do not be embarrassed for me when I am not embarrassed in the least fpr saying god things about Klingspor.
Thank you anyway.

I have bought two of the bargain boxes, and to be honest, was thrilled both times. My only complaint is it comes rolled up, the sheet stuff, and it has been rolled for so long it takes a little time to rid itself of the memory. But it is outstanding paper, (my go-to paper now for hand sanding), seems to last forever, and you don’t mind throwing a bit away a little quicker since the stuff is so low priced.
The other box I bought was the narrow roll stuff for use on lathes and round pieces. It also comes in higher grits for polishing up. I usually keep two three little rolls on the bench and just grab a piece when needed. I think I got 37 rolls, or something like that, in the box. All good, healthy rolls, last a long time.

May not be the best of all worlds if you need specific grits and stuff, but for general sanding, it suits me OK. I do still keep a three drawer setup of discs, and 1st quality graded sheets for important stuff.

Posts #2 and #6 seem to point to the negative Joe, though good question. Many of us are a bit puzzled with this.

The only issue I had with their grab box of sheets was figuring out which grit is which, still need to spend some time on that. Can’t argue with it being good quality paper with good stiff backs. Their box of adhesive backed rolls rolls however was another story. Supposed to be a range of grits from rough to fine; received 4 rolls of 80 grit alone and nothing finer then 150. Ialso found that the adhesive backing really isn’t very adhesive.it will however still last me years of lathe work with no problemsand I think that the backing is strong anough to make some belts for the bandsaw to do belt sanding.

No offense to Bert, but I have to admit, that was funny
