    I'm always careful about opening my pkgs so as I don't do this very thing.

    Oh no! But at least you have a plan that will work. I have not done this, but, because of you, I probably won't now.

    I never open packages that way don't know if something happened in the past but just don't and I guess that is a lesson learned the hard way. -- J

    Glad you have a nice attitude about it and not letting it ruin your day
    Just a thought, have you thought of complaining to the company on how the item was packaged? They may compensate you someway and at the very least change their packaging ways.

    I don't see that it was the problem of the packaging company--but they could have put "warning--open carefully" on the outside. It can't be their responsibility, though, can it?

    I was cutting out scrub tops and did not pay attention. When I grabbed the back pieces (I like mass producing), I thought I did not cut out the front "V" neck and started cutting it out, only to realize my mistake. Did some fancy patching and still wear them as a reminder to myself to be careful. Oddly enough, no one at work has ever commneted on it.

    That happened to me when a friend sent a sweatshirt for my youngest. I cut it right in the neck! Wrapping the fabric (or shirt) would prevent that. I'd let the seller know they should invest in a little tissue paper.

    I am so sorry.
    I have not had a package in a while, but when I do get something I will be extra careful.
    GOD bless.
