10-month old envelopes unusable
Ordered 500 envelopes in November 2025. I used about 50-100 right away and they were ok. Most of the flaps were partially glued together, on the ends. But I was able to gently open them and use so I figured "no big deal." Fast forward to this past weekend where I tried to use the remaining envelopes and they are ALL glued together. Completely. No prying apart possible. I tried steaming a few open over a pot of boiling water. I tried using a thin knife to pry them open. Nothing I do will get the flaps open. So 400+ envelopes are unusable. I reached out to customer service and they told me it was "outside our normal window" and there wasn't anything they could do. Which is extremely disappointing. I have envelopes from 5+ years ago that are completely fine. Seems like these were very poor quality and they don't want to stand behind what they sell. **ETA: After leaving my review here, a customer service rep did finally reach out to me to see how they could remedy the situation. After many emails back & forth they decided to replace some of the envelopes that were defective. They sent me about 200 replacement envelopes in a similar style. I also received a follow-up email asking me to consider updating my review here which I now have. I'm only updating to 3 stars because I still feel that the only reason I was contacted was because of my review here. Had I not left the review customer service would probably have let my inquiry slide without addressing. Again, just my opinion, not certain if that's true. I do appreciate them replacing some of the envelopes. They shouldn't have been defective in the first place. I will consider shopping with them in the future.
