I agree with everyone else -- if I sold that I'd want to know about it -- and I'd want to refund or replace.
On your other question; generally, but not always, if you're buying single FQ's or small bundles, they're cut in-store. Most of the manufacturer FQ bundles are quite large. But some stores buy large towers and repackage them for sale as well. So it's difficult to tell where it was cut.
