Don't Even Bother - Cheap

I mail Ebay packages daily and need good quality packing tape. This is the worst I've ever used. Right off the roll it curls and wrinkles in such a way that 1/2 the time I have to re-do the taping. Worthless. Not to mention that I don't have much confidence that the tape will hold up in the handling process.
I use packing tape all the time to ship stuff on ebay. I was short on time and money couldn't get what I usually buy (from the dollar store no less!)so I picked this up. Should've waited the extra day and gotten my usual this stuff is terrible!
I ship a lot of packages. I got very frustrated trying to tape up a box for shipping. The tape looked so horribly twisted that when I took the package to the post office they laughed at it. I am returning this product and will spend the extra money for a better quality packing tape. Scotch tape is thicker than this stuff!
The Economy-Grade tape is not for boxes. The tape would not stay on many of the boxes. I had to tape the ends of the first stripe of tape in hopes that that would hold down the first stripe. The Economy-Grade tape works great on paper and envelopes.
I do a lot of shipping which requires value and quantity. This is what I get with this product. It is not the Rolls Royce of packing tapes but it works for my purposes.
