Why not to buy Grant Boxing gloves

I have been buying and using Boxing gloves for a very long time.  I fight and I train people.
I get a lot of equipment from people.  I use it all and I let them know what I think of the equipment.

I use Winning Gloves- I love them!  Very good quality. They are soft and I like to use them when my hands hurt or I am sparring a new bee. Ive never had a problem and the guy who runs Winning USA will bring them to you at the gym.  They stand by their equipment.

Cleto Reyes- I always liked these for sparring.  Top Quality.  I have had two pairs for over three years and I use them.  I spar at least 25 rounds a week.  They are easy to get and they stand behind their product.
I have never had a problem and I have used these since the 90's.  They are a little bulky for MMA and or Kickboxing sparring.

Grant Boxing-http://grantworldwide.com/ I have had three pairs of these gloves.  I really like the snug fit and the wrist padding.  The first pair was awesome.  They lasted three years!  Then I ordered a new pair.
I ordered them directly from Grant.  I ordered a pair of black, red and white 14oz gloves and two pairs of wraps.  A week later a box with the wraps shows up.  The wraps were 5.00 and the shipping was 16.00! NO GLOVES.  I call Grant and they say they are on back order. I ask why they would send the wraps and not tell me?  I tell them it was waste.  They did not care.  I told them to take the charge off my card and forget the gloves because they told me it would be SIX WEEKS to get my gloves.  I need gloves right away. I train 6 days a week. So I go buy a pair of Winnings.  A few weeks go by and the Grants show up.  I decide to use them.  That was three years ago.

August of this year. My Girlfriend buys me a gift of Grants.  She paid 375.00 for a pair of Green 14oz gloves.  The People at Grant were rude to her so she bought them from another source.
It is now December 19th 2012 and the Grants are coming apart at the thumbs.  We write Grant and they are rude and send back some bad emails.  THIS IS HOW THEY TREAT PEOPLE WHO PAY ALMOST 400 DOLLARS FOR THEIR GLOVES!

Hi Anne,

Just curious, have you ever purchased a pair of shoes and worn them for four months and tried to return them because the sole wore down or another defect from wear and tear and expected them to give you a brand new pair? I appreciate you letting us know of your problem and we will certainly look into it, as far as your comment of sharing your experience with others, thankfully there are people all over the world that continue to believe in our product and at the end of the day, no matter what you do, you can't please everyone.

Happy Holidays,

Elliot

Hi Anne,

Yes they are our product, but sold through a third party. We offer a 90 day warranty (when purchased through us) against faulty workmanship. In this case it's over 120 days and based on the images you sent, obviously plenty of "wear and tear". 
We have people who's gloves last them two years but they use them lightly and others who can go through a pair in two months. What are the gloves being used for mainly?

Thanks,

Elliot
