Golden, I hope you mean the thumb-lock attachment, not the entire thumb correct?

Since when are Top King made in Pakistan?
Also , they have no history / background in boxing unlike Mexico / Thailand.
Just having tanneries or leather manufacturing isn't enough.
Most probably you are mixing Top King and Top Ten.Well I think I once saw a pair on ebay which, on zooming clearly said 'Made in Pakistan'... but not sure if it was Top King. But I'm quite confident about the Green Hills. And Ringside gloves are also made there, and though they might not all be earth-shattering, their Heritage gloves are held in regard.
If the cost of labour goes up in Mexico tomorrow, and Reyes has to shift operations to Pakistan, it will still be a Mexican brand, not a Pakistani one. Yes, if a Pakistani businessman buys it and shifts the works to Pakistan.... then it's a different story.
Dude, don't be silly. Reyes will NEVER move to Pakistan. The same in case of Winning.
Yeah, they are bastards in this matter, they put "Germany" everywhere despite it is not true. They are actually bottom third of the Pakistani gear in terms of craftmanship. The padding is great, the rest is awful.Yes, you're right... it was Top Ten, though people keep telling me it's 'Made in Germany' LOL. Top King is a Thai brand... my bad.. I'm new to this compared to you guys.
See, first of all it's a hypothetical example. I'm merely trying to demonstrate the economics of the situation. Besides, moving to Pakistan isn't the same as getting your stuff made there. China isn't exactly known as a powerhouse of electronic equipment, but Apple still make all their stuff there. Essentially, it is simply an Apple operation on Chinese soil. Similarly, Beaulieu gloves are BillBoxing's operation on Pakistani soil. It's a far-fetched point, and I'm not saying that Beaulieu is the Apple of fight-gear products. It's just an attempt to illustrate.
And never say never. At one point of time, Tuf-Wear, Everlast were both being made in USA, maybe even Ringside too. I'm sure people back then said, "these will never shift to another country". We all know how that ended.
Okay, enough of my ranting... :icon_lol: back to the question. Shipping to India?
Haha so...since i doubt there are post boxes in antartica...do you just leave the package with the polar bears so that they can send it to the seals who then hand the package over to the penguins and afterwards deliver it to a person living there ?
