On the boxes that my latex exam gloves come it, it reads: "100 gloves by WEIGHT" What's THAT about? Steve  SignatureMark & Steven Bornfeld DDS http://www.dentaltwins.com Brooklyn, NY 718-258-5001 Easy, they don't count'em, they weight to get approx 100 gloves..

Whose side are you on? I may pay for 250 gms. of gloves--that's by weight. Or I may pay for 100 gloves--by count. I don't accept payment in dollars by weight either, btw.

Most times my boxes are jammed so full that you have to struggle to get the first dozen or so out. I just bought a case of a house brand manufactured by Hedy. Won't use them again. They are loaded with flaws and tear very easily.

They are loaded with flaws and tear very easily. I haven't counted, but wouldn't be shocked to find an undercount. I use Dash powder-free, they fit me well. I have used other brands that also count by weight.

Law of averages says that sometimes you get 98 sometimes 103. Take a brand new unopened box of gloves and sit there and count them. Time yourself. -- W_B Take out the G'RBAGE wubbabubbazG@RBAGEyahoo.com >>>Easy, they don't count'em, they weight to get approx 100 gloves.. >> [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > Take out the G'RBAGE > wubbabubbazG@RBAGEyahoo.com They wouldn't be counting gloves out of the box. In fact, I'd bet it's all mechanized. After all, ATMs don't spit out $100 by weight. I may just count a few boxes, and see if there is a true average.

Multiply by 100 and there you go. You didn't really think someone was counting them did you ? -- W_B Take out the G'RBAGE wubbabubbazG@RBAGEyahoo.com >> On the boxes that my latex exam gloves come it, it reads: >>"100 gloves by WEIGHT" [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > Take out the G'RBAGE > wubbabubbazG@RBAGEyahoo.com Silly me. I wouldn't complain if they were selling a pound of gloves. If they say 100 gloves, I think there should be 100 gloves. Call me old fashioned.

If they say 100 gloves, I think there should be 100 gloves. Call me old fashioned. Steve Yeah, I agree they should be consistent. The should at least say something like "average box count of 100 based upon average glove weight." That would be more accurate than just saying "100 gloves" if there is a good chance that the box doesn't really contain 100 gloves. Of course, if they want to cover themselves by placing 105 gloves in every box of 100, I wouldn't complain. - dentaldoc > > On the boxes that my latex exam gloves come it, it reads: > >"100 gloves by WEIGHT" [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > Take out the G'RBAGE > wubbabubbazG@RBAGEyahoo.com Then they could send boxes with one big huge 250g glove in each and they'd be fine...
