I used to sell on Amazon and I can tell you that people can jump on a listing and sell something else which gives the listing a bad review because of other sellers. The issue is Amazon would suspend US/Canadian sellers for something that has nothing to do with them and will shutdown your account for false reasons. If the seller is Chinese with 80% bad seller feedback and selling fake stuff then Amazon keeps them and never touches them, for some reason they can do whatever they want on Amazon and this messed up the whole market since they jump on listings and sell something that "looks" similar which is very common in China.Darkman wrote: ↑ Not to stick up for the deal ... or anything like that.
But 3rd party sellers often are selling different chit that is advertised ... it's often mentioned to buy from Original Seller ... or from Amazon fulfilled at very least ..
I read some of the comments for some of those masks deals ... about people getting only 50 pcs instead of 100 pcs ... or even 10 pcs instead of 50 pcs ... or saying the stuff received is not as described or pictured.
So you never know ...
JUST KEEP in mind though ... that deal at the link is rated by Amazon as Amazon's Choice (previously) / #1 Best Seller (currently)
And ... C/P for the deal: "4 stars average | 612 ratings | 47 answered questions"
So to be honest, lol ... those 12 negative "1 star" comments really kinda mean chit in the whole rating picture for this deal ... "picture" consisting of 612 ratings / other comments
Other than that ... let the buyer beware ... One has to take chances in life sometimes
AND ... if you buy this deal from Amazon fulfilled / Prime Eligible sale --- you really got NOTHING to lose! ........ Cuz, if you get it and don't like it --- you are guaranteed to get your money back!

That one mentioned earlier was $8 or so the cheapest ... and I see someone stepped in now with $5 (as you mentioned) .... Arrives, though: Oct 9 - Nov 2
$5 is no biggie of course .. but better hope it arrives indeed ... and as advertised and not something else.
Other than that, the one Fulfilled by Amazon / Prime eligible at that link is still at $14.99 ( was going earlier, from another seller, for $14.84 ... but was only "1 left in stock" and got sold out in no time, making the one for $14.99, the cheapest Fulfilled by Amazon / Prime eligible

My Costco only carries one brand of masks now (Boom Care) which has issue. The nose part does not keep in place, the metal inside is like a spring and opens up no matter what.

For those inexperienced with Amazon, they have multiple sellers on the same listing regardless of what is in the heading so if you click Buy, it'll likely give you whatever is cheapest so you have to click on the part where you choose the seller but even then the seller who made the original post might not even be on there anymore so the post details will not apply, ie. ships from Canada.

Fulfilled by amazon just means you sent your masks to the amazon warehouse and in return they get a bigger cut of the sale. Amazon choice just means it sold a lot. This is not recommended by amazon or affiliated with amazon. I wouldn’t recommend masks made by random people. I could literally make them at home and send it to amazon warehouse. Get something sold by amazon or newegg or Costco or any store that’s legit. Most of the official ones are single wrapped and made in safe environments and are legit.Darkman wrote: ↑ Not to stick up for the deal ... or anything like that.

Food for thought, I purchased 100 from an Amazon seller at beginning of COVID-19 spiking around early March $17 for 100, delivery scheduled for May. Late May came along and I contacted seller about my mask. At that time most were selling at $45 for 50. He said he doesn't know, must have been lost in mail, he was really pissed at them but will give me my money back.
SO... what happened?? did the mail man really took it? I don't know.
But I realized, it's an easy play to sell these I.O.U mask orders, wait 2 months down the road and decided at that time to send it or not depending on the price of Mask at the time. I am pretty confident if a 2nd wave comes and it's mask prices spike to $45 per 50 again, most of those who bought these $5 - $8 order will never see it and get a "sorry I don't know what happened". something to think about.

So the consensus seems to be these are questionable quality/safety?
I ordered right when this was posted, yeah dumb but I was headed off, tried to cancel as more people shared their opinions but it was too late.

The latest Amazon reviews seem to say they're very thin and the nose wire does not contour well if at all.
Additionally a poor quality mask will feel your breath on the back of your hand at 4 to 5" away, and will easily blow out a candle or lighter. The less non-woven meltblown, the more porous.
Lanswe masks from the Newegg deal expand top to bottom from 9.5cm to 16.5cm. I don't have this particular brand of Amazon masks to test but I've handled really cheap non-clinical masks these seem to review, they expand less, so you can try a measurement when you get them. This is a function of how well it will wrap around your face.
An ASTM Level 3 mask I wear at work expands in a crescent from 9cm to over 18cm. Here is a closeup of the ear straps compared to Lanswe, the rubber band and material is thicker, is bulkier terry for more comfort.
I don't have a poor quality mask on hand but their straps are even thinner and string like.

Do not disinfect with alcohol. Do not alter the mask as it may reduce its efficiency or render it useless.
Click on 14 New (list of sellers) ... and select the one for $14.99 ( Prime eligible / fulfilled by Amazon ).
Some 3rd party seller is selling this one there for $3.99 + FREE shipping, lol ... Arriving Oct 13 - Nov 3, however
BTW,
For those who don't have Amazon Prime ... I think, if you make your order to be $35 or more - you'll receive free shipping anyhow, delivered in a few days (so pretty fast as well). So just buy 3 boxes or add something else to your order (to make it $35 in total) --- and problem getting "Free Shipping" will be solved.
