Bought some black poly postal bags and they stink!

celestius

Just received them and they smell awful, nasty cheap thin plastic too. Almost tempted to bin them!
If I use peel and seal bags around my items within the bags that should protect them from the smell?

I can't be sure with yours but I've found they usually smell in volume, when they're alone it's barely noticeable.

how much did they cost you ?

i bought 50 a couple weeks ago for £1.50 delivered and they were that great so binned them

what do you sell ? clothing /household items is asking for a complaint , something outdoorsy probably be fine

celestius

£9.14 for 100 10x14"
I sell clothing but use peel and seal so hopefully that will stop any smells getting through!

RainbowDrops

If they're that bad, and the smell wasnt noted in the selling page, maybe ask to return them?
Better than you risking your own feedback.

Try odl packaging. They may not be the cheapest but they are the fastest dispatch and best quality. If you buy direct from their website and register you get 5% discount.

Seconded.

We buy their coloured ones and they don't smell and are very good quality.
