I think we will still need them for awhile. At the very least I don't see masks going away in a medical building setting. Unless that rule is just where I'm located.
When I wear a mask these days, it's a KN95 mask because I'm concerned about the people around me having COVID. A cloth mask doesn't do much to protect me from others; it's more useful to protect others if I'm sick.
Thanks! I ordered 6 packs for my kids. I've bought these in the past. They don't fit adult faces very well. My kids still wear them to school occasionally.
Careful and don't use PayPal. It always messes up free shipping orders. Got charged 5-6$ extra, now gonna have to call them to cancel it.
Yup, happened to me as well and did not get to see your post before placing the order.
I made a call to gap (within 5 minutes of the order) using the number provided by PayPal on this transaction. The rep was very cool and just change the order with free shipping. It showed up on my account. Rep said PayPal will still charge shipping but I will get the shipping charge back.
Sorry but I'm waiting until they pay people to take these off of their hands.
What do you think is happening here? It cost them more than $1 to produce these (material + manufacturing + screen printing/tye dying + shipping to the US + receiving/handling of a US employee). In addition the US shipping from their warehouse to your home alone cost them no less than $2 (padded envelop + US employee hourly wage + US employee benefits costs + fraction of warehouse utilities costs + USPS shipping).
They are probably losing $3-$6 per individual order.

Yeah, you just have to change that on PayPals end. For some reason it changes to a faster shipping. There are two options for free shipping after the code is applied in the Gap store page though.

As someone that recently contracted Covid using a cloth mask on a cruise, I agree. Wife used a KN95 mask and tested negative when I all the sudden came down with the bug

I think they are hoping that you might buy more once on their site. A good percent will buy additional stuff what they wouldn't have bought.
Secondly, they already send millions in advertising, so this will be advertising cost.
Moreover, free shipping is with a code, so they didn't know this item alone would be bought. And even if so, they can still absorb the cost of this from other paying customers.
Lastly, they either don't know or don't care that sders would be on it without buying anything else.
Edit: GFSHIP free shipping not valid anymore? Total has to be 50 after the sale price to get shipping free

For all the anti-maskers out there, they do help if you have seasonal allergies from pollen.

But this is a good price for what it is.
