A few days ago I emailed Sal asking about the towels. I haven't received a response yet....

I do see "a" towel on the website, but it doesn't use the term microfiber. Is it a 3 pack for $24.98 and have part number Z-BBFT-3?

They are indeed microfiber.

I have been using these microfibers for a while and love them. The thing I like the best about them is dirt does not stick to them, a quick shake or wash and any dirt comes right out. Most microfibers trap any dirt in the nap and it is impossible to get it out even after a wash. I especially hate using microfibers in the fall when the leaves are on the ground. If you drop it you might as well throw it away because the little leave particles NEVER come out.

Not these new Zaino towels, they work great and do not trap dirt and are also very soft.

I don't see any listed on the site. Have they been removed?

Just a guess, and I do mean a guess but these towels say they are Zano approved and do look very similar to the Zaino towels I have.

These towels are VERY different from the towels Zaino is or will be releasing. I DO NOT recommend ordering from DF. He has had many, many delivery issues in the past year and many unsatisfied customers. He won't even respond to most.

Over the course of the last few weeks, we've had the towels in and out of the store to test the production flow and packaging in our warehouse. We go to great effort to make sure that things go smoothly and that our customers are satisfied with their experience, but most importantly the product.

A little too much inside info here.... For Zaino, this product created a completely new dynamic for us. To improve safe delivery and to provide for great efficiency with the volume of packages we ship, we carefully consider every detail. The manner in which the towels are folded, the size of the poly bag used, and then the typical order profiles where a customer would also order the towels are all little details that mean a lot. Our packaging has always been modular and so a new product must fit within that modular system. The towels have to quickly fit in the boxes!

I know quite a few of you have seen some version of our new towel and have spread the word. We appreciate it!

As we review the processing in the near future, the links to the towels will move around depending on the exposure that I'm ready to accept at that moment. A little insider tip though is that you will generally be able to link direct to the product page for purchase.

Zaino Blonde Borderfree Towel: 3 pack

Enjoy!

Tony,
I just spoke to Sal this morning. The towels do not appear on the web site. He explained that the demand has been great and he removes them when there is not enough stock to fulfill current orders.

I noticed that if you click on your link above they do appear. Does this mean that they're on back order?

Jim
