This is our second purchase as an organization from Empire Managed Solutions. Prices of nitrile gloves have risen at astronomical rates in the last few years and quality control has suffered. These gloves meet our criteria for durability and are competitively priced when compared to other large scale vendors. While others struggle to maintain stock and keep increasing prices to stay competitive Empire has managed to keep costs at bay and provide a consistent, available product. This is no minor feat! What I've enjoyed most is the service we've received from Empire's Customer Service department. They are genuinely good at returning calls and emails and at collaborating with customers to create solutions. Lastly, shipping to Alaska is costly and most vendors do not honor "free shipping" terms to Alaska. Empire has extended that courtesy to us and have won a repeat customer over as a result. Thank you, Empire Managed Solutions!
