Hi, thanks to the gals last year who recommended the Nicapa cutting mat for my Cameo. I liked using it much more than the
Silhouette Cameo cutting mat.
Like last year, since my daughter is an Amazon Prime member, I asked her to order the standard grip Nicapa cutting mat again
on 7/16/24 during Amazon's Prime Day(s)..$8.79 for 3 cutting mats.
It was delivered a few days later. Shockingly, instead of the set being placed in a box, it was delivered in a flimsy plastic bag.
As I thought, the mats were not flat. I noticed some ripple in the Nicapa mat set and some bend lines. There was a yellow
caution square printed on the clear Nicapa plastic packaging "sleeve". Do not bend or fold.
I suspect it was not carefully picked or packed at Amazon's warehouse OR the delivery driver had other items placed on top of
the mats.
I wasn't ready to use a new cutting mat but thought it would be better to try one out just in case there were cutting issues.
I placed 65 lb. cardstock on top of the areas which had the "bend" lines and purposely had the Cameo cut in that questionable
"zone".
It was a relief the cutting was fine. But in the future, I don't know if I want to buy cutting mats from Amazon.com if they don't
protect products that shouldn't be "bent". I'm sure Amazon.com wants to reduce their box usages, but they need to package their products in a more protected manner.
Have you experienced the same packaging issues? Have you complained to Amazon.com? Did Amazon.com respond to your
concerns?
Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences.
