There's no answer to that feedback
On the back of a recent feedback on Amazon I thought I'd start a thread to share weird and wonderful feedback we get. I'm used to getting "smaller than expected" on items with the exact measurements in title and description. Also things like "This colour didn't match my cat" for other items.

Luckily the 2 bags are quite flat and I…
