Toxic fumes

Smells of toxic PVC upon arrival. Stuck in office; too big to transport outside to air out in an office building. Carcinogenic. But are they all like this?
I purchased this chair mat during a 25% sale and it was a great deal. I used the free ship to store service and was very happy with the service. It arrived right on time and I received an email and a friendly call from the store saying that it was ready for pick-up. Since it was rolled-up I needed to lay it out and flatten it with some boxes and books for 24 hours. After that it was ready to use and it has been great with no problems.
I purchased 2 of these mats and I really like them. They're clear and adhere to the carpet very well. My only complaint is the way they were delivered. They both came badly curled. Not rolled; that I could handle. But curled in several different directions. It made it very difficult to lay them down. These should either be delivered flat or rolled. Other than the delivery I like the mats.
Just laid the chair mat at my computer - I'm satisfied with mat for now however time will tell after extended use. I don't expect my 4-caster office chair to roll on the mat as easy as it would on hardwood floor.. Caster's still make an indention in the pad but not as deep as the thin pads I've experienced.in the past. What would be great is a mat that is more hard for use on top of 1-inch Berber carpet and padding.
