This mat came shipped flat without packaging so no wait time was needed to get the product to unroll and lay flat. However shipping label does require some work to remove. Going to try Goo Gone.
I purchased this item from Staples and it showed up with absolutely no packaging and it was wet and covered in dirt. I tried to clean it but because of the grooves I couldn't get it completely clean and I didn't feel comfortable putting it on my carpet. I can't believe they ship items without any packaging. Now I am trying to return the item and it's a complete headache. Save yourself the trouble and order this product from somewhere else.
