Title: American Leathers/John Turner: Awesome Customer Svc!
Post by: Kentucky Jeff on January 31, 2012, 03:12:00 PM
I just wanted to give a shout out to John Turner at American Leathers (they are a sponsor here) for awesome customer service.

About 6 weeks ago I ordered a Buffalo Big Shot glove after reading several reviews about that product here on the boards. I ordered off the website but also faxed in a tracing of my hand.  John called me to talk about my order and said I'd probably be better off with a XL glove based on my tracing as opposed to what I ordered.   I got the glove in less than a week of ordering it and was impressed and spent the next couple of weeks shooting the glove and breaking in it.  I LOVED it!  But it had a problem--the strap was too short and I had to constantly adjust it to keep the stalls straight on my fingers.  But I absolutely fell in love with how it shoots and feels.  

I called John and talked to him about my problem and asked if he had any workarounds or suggestions.  He said, "Yeah, put it in a box and send it back and I'll make you a custom glove with a longer strap!"  I told him I had used the original glove a good deal--probably shoot 600-800 arrows with it.  He didn't flinch--said don't worry about it.  I boxed it up and sent it back.  Two weeks later my new glove came and its absolutely perfect.  I'm just now getting it broken in and when I am certain its exactly what I want I will order a couple more to squirrel away.

In any case--doing business with these fine folks has been a pleasure and I just thought he deserved some kudos.  He went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with his product.  

Buy with confidence from American Leathers!!!

Cheers,
JKS

I am also quite impressed! Spoke with John quite a bit before purchasing a Big Shot Crossover from American Leathers this past weekend in K'zoo, real nice people. Still working on breaking it in
but to this point I believe it will be the only glove I need for quite a while...   :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:
