Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this item along with the Cricut brand Transfer Tape...when I opened the box I see the Cricut Transfer Tape nicely wrapped in plastic while this black vinyl was just a roll of vinyl with 2 stickers holding the roll closed (see pics!)...along with the 2 stickers, the exposed vinyl was completely scuffed up and unusable (see pics...sorry for the lighting. Of course the big white blobs are just the lighting reflection. If i took a picture without the lighting, the vinyl looked perfect which is not at all how it looks in person but you are able to see some scuffs around the white blobs of light reflection). I opened up the roll and of course the stickers were impossible to come off (see pics)...so than I open it the best I can and of course the vinyl tore and curled a little (see pics). But what does that matter anyways with all of the scuffs? So the vinyl itself is good for vinyl projects...however, the packaging is awful AND you are paying for an amount of vinyl that you don't actually get to use. To some it may seem petty but I'm personally pretty annoyed by it. 1st of all, the company isn't taking the time to wrap it in plastic? Okay...then they add 2 stickers on top of that? I'm sure the company could come up with a better packaging method. Just know that you will be wasting the first 10 inches of vinyl due to the stickers and scuff marks. Hopefully they will update their packaging methods in the future....
