John Abate is back?

So Im reading my new SunTimes (jan 09) issue and I see that John Abate is back! And with their same lotions! Im excited because I love JA, but it was really hard to get in the last couple of years. I wonder whats going on with that co?

They weren't gone for long, they just went direct. JA makes great products.

I emailed them a couple times not very long ago when we were switching product lines. I never got a response, I came to conclude that they were making loads of money like everyone else and did not need any other customers.

Customer service? It's just Frank. Call him on his cell. E-mail is for suckers.

Re: John Abate is back?

I have never had a problem getting JA. Do all my orders online. Except for the few months after the switch over from John to Frank about 1 year ago.

Re: John Abate is back?

The only thing might be if you are a new customer then you might have to call first.

No, 50X bronzers is so over. His stuff is the only stuff that is worth the SRP...and JoeTan. No BS lotions that aren't some gawdy $25 bottle filled with 25cent product.

Re: John Abate is back?

jkonturas, have you tried their products?

John Abate is a lotion veteran that has run into a few obstacles ONLY because of the name change years ago. I bet, if that had not happened, they would still be one of the top manufacturers.

I'm still a bit sour over them not getting back with me. However, it dosen't mean they don't make some of the finest products out there, props from me on quality.
