The picture shown is just showing the comparison between the USPS issued straps and the ones we sell in the two colors. RED and ROYAL. We DO NOT sell the narrow straps.

Good straps. They actually do hold a bundle together much better than the old style. My only complaint is that the fabric in the straps doesn't hold up real good. A couple years at most, and then they fray and break.

I do not understand this comment. Before I retired, I used these straps for at least 6 years and then gave them to my sub who bid on my route. She got my route and is still using the straps to this day.
I really like the bright red and the length is perfect for large bundles.
They hold the mail and do not slip very easy
They work very well. I wish the strap material was a little thicker but other then that they are great.
From PJ's:
I think if the material was thicker, you would not be able to pull it tight as well as this material.
I really like the width of the straps I recieved . I can bundle twice the amount of mail , I carry on my route. A must have item, if you are a rural carrier. I promise , you will not be disappointed.

Robert,
Thanks for the review! I too, used these before I retired. It is amazing how the "Extra Width" makes your bundles more secure!
carriers would rather have a different closure... we have some from previous carrier that has 2 rollers as closure.
From PJ's:
Sorry, I'm not familiar with those buckles. We have carried the same ones you received for 10 years+.
I love the straps.I have used the thinner ones for years and this Ireally makes my job easier delivering mail!
From PJ's:
I did the same as you did for years before I started using the wider (and longer) straps. No one really knows the difference until you try them. Thanks for the review!
The extra width helps hold the mail so much steadier. I've ordered 20 total and will order them again. They are not stiff nylon, nor too soft to hold up. The clips hold very well yet also releases easily.
I’d been looking for the wide straps for quite a while, but I found them expensive and in only blue or black. Because I bought these for myself, rather than ask my office to foot the bill, I wanted red straps so they’d be a different color from all the rest. I’ve used them for several weeks now and they’re holding up just fine. I recently purchased more so that I’d have enough for even the heaviest days. A bonus was how quickly my order was processed.
