"Makes me wonder if there's a big difference between suppliers in how carefully they handle inventory."
Could be, but honestly, I've had mixed luck even with the same supplier. One batch was great, another had some noticeable warping. Maybe it's more about individual batches than overall handling?
I've noticed the same thing—sometimes even reputable suppliers send out warped sheets. Makes me wonder if storage conditions or seasonal humidity changes might be playing a bigger role than handling methods... Has anyone tracked if certain times of year are worse?
I've heard that theory about humidity before, but honestly, I'm not entirely convinced it's the main culprit. A buddy of mine ordered sheets in the dead of winter—super dry conditions—and still got warped panels. Makes me wonder if it might be more about how they're stacked during shipping or stored at the warehouse. Humidity probably doesn't help, sure, but maybe we're giving it a bit too much credit here...
Yeah, I'm with you on this one. I've had sheets delivered in all sorts of weather—dry, humid, you name it—and I've seen warping happen regardless. One time, I swear the panels arrived looking like they'd been stacked by someone playing Jenga blindfolded... total mess. Honestly, storage and shipping practices probably play a bigger role than humidity alone. If you're shopping around, I'd suggest checking out local suppliers who let you inspect the sheets yourself before buying. Saves a headache later on.
"Honestly, storage and shipping practices probably play a bigger role than humidity alone."
Yeah, that's a really good point. I wonder how often suppliers actually rotate their stock or even check how they're stacked in the warehouse? I've had similar issues myself—one supplier sent me sheets that were scratched up like they'd been dragged across concrete. Made me wonder if they'd been sitting at the bottom of the pile forever or something.
Have you ever tried smaller, family-owned places? I've noticed they tend to be more careful with their stock, probably because they have fewer orders and more time to pay attention to details. Might cost a bit more, but honestly, I'd rather pay a little extra up front than deal with warped or damaged sheets later on. Curious if anyone else has found the same thing with smaller suppliers or if it's just been my luck...
