Just Amazon spam and them tracking your habits and selling it.

No big!

That, however, is decent sense. Although if you can shop directly at a smaller shop and use paypal to check out...that's even better.

Ad-tracking and selling the info. They all do it. It's part of the package that their web developer sells them.

But you're glossing over that word "Unsubscribe". Also, you don't HAVE to enter their contest or promotions so you are the one who controls what you receive. Opt out and you are spam free.

Why should I have to unsubscribe to something I never subscribed to in the first place?

Actually, what I'm glossing over is the part where, even when you scrupulously DON'T check the "I want your spam" box at checkout, they send it to you anyway. Then later, you get the opportunity to "unsubscribe" for a little while. You know very well that they do not throw your email address away. What you are glossing over is the ad-tracking that they sell. That targeted stuff that comes up in the right-hand pane on Facebook, etc. That's where that stuff comes from.

Harbor Freight towels FTW

I ordered some. Track away. Big brother can fly his drones over my house while I'm smilin' polishin' my ride. Hell, I may even shoot the moon at 'em. Then again, I'd probably start getting emails about toilet paper and anus bleaching. better not moon.

Great timing. You know, there is talk about drones probing Uranus.

That's right, I'm an adult and I just made a Uranus joke

Do we understand that while amazon is the storefront, the same company is selling these towels and will have the same access to whatever info you use to pay?

Anyhow, Waiting till "Pimpin' free Friday" to drop an order. Picking up 3 eagle and 2 of them waffles. You can literally not have enough towels.

If we have to explain the difference between a quality MF vs just a MF towel...well I will just be happy if you give your local detailer some business, the best possible mod for your car, is a quality detail(or a quality twin turbo kit!).

Good lookin out Junkman, I need to search your vid for more deals. I see you have some 3d/HD product back there, I go with them, they work, dont cost much, don't make ridiculous claims and have a simple enough product line. Made in USA and available at a local seller(support local small business people!) to boot!

Good grief....They even found me hiding in here!

Adalvar · 03-05-2014, 07:02 PM

Can I use these towels to wash the car, or just for removing the wax or polish?

TerribleONE · 03-05-2014, 07:07 PM

Nice find Junkman

Lol...no, it doesn't work that way. Buy through Amazon and the seller doesn't have your email access. Not that it's great giving it to Amazon, but at least all your demographic data, email address, and credit card info doesn't get spread out over all the stores you buy from.

If Halle Barry wanted to give you some snatch, would you complain because she didn't shave her legs?

$.60 a towel doesn't exactly equate to Halle Berry, but the answer to your question is certainly "no".
