I usually don't order from a company I have heard nothing about, and I was wondering if anyone had good/bad experiences with these guys

Hmmmmmmmm....yeah, "If it sounds too good to be true.....it usually is" comes to mind...

If people like Boomer and junk, can't get it to us any cheaper than they do with their reasonable shipping prices, I can't imagine how these guys charge that low of a price......

***Edit***

Upon searching around their site a little more...it's like they take the "computer hardware/accessories" approach...by charging a little less for the "big" stuff, but charging a little more for the "accessories" like handwraps ($7 for Top Contender Mexican wraps is a bit much), etc....so maybe that's how they can afford to charge a little less for the gloves...

I wouldn't trust it. They don't even have an address or a location listed.
