Good Product Need Better Packaging

The chair mat is fine and as expected after having viewed a simialr one in the store. However I wold like to suggest a better packaging / shipping process. My mat arrived completely uncovered and filthy. The map was covered in black crud / dust from shipping trucks and had to be completely washed on both sides prior to bringing into my office. This was very inconvenient since it was 24 degrees outside and my only option was to wash it outside using a hose and scrub brush. I recommend at least shrink wrapping before shipment. The mat does dent as I sit one location but so far it recovers when the chair is moved to another location. Time will tell but initially I am satisfied with it. Mine is sitting on a low pile berber style carpet so well within the specifications for the mat.
Every couple of years I need to replace my chair mat under my desk chair due to the constant use and work at home arrangement I have with my employer. Staples is the place I shop to order my mats. Delivery was quick (overnight!) and ordering online was easy. In fact I ordered two so that I would have one for my husband's office as well! Both mats are sturdy and will endure lots of wear. In 5 years I have only replaced my mat once. I gave it 4 stars only because the "spikes" on the mat could be a little longer to grip the carpet. But frankly I have been using this new one since Christmas and it works great!
I bought this to replace the exact same one I wore out from about 3 years ago. The economy Staples chair mat offer is a quality product for the price you pay. for it. My previous one lasted a number of years before it cracked and broke apart. But Staple had unit on hand to ship and with their low price and =free shipping I am a happy customer again! ROLL ON!
Works well and protects the carpet. I probably should have purchased the mat for thicker carpet but it works for me as is. The chair rolls well on it and the mat stays in place fairly well.
