Less than I expected

My first roll of this paper was 24" I used it for bin prints. All was good.
During the holiday sale, I picked up another roll, this time 36" . The box was noticeably damaged in shipping, but I thought it should be OK. The boxing is considerably less than the competitors packaging.
Today I opened the box when my roll of Tribute ran out. . I just noticed the 8mil box had handwriting on it that said "refused". I assume it was damaged prior, refused at delivery and then somebody decided to send it out again as first rate product. Disappointing quality control. The edge of the paper on the roll is significantly damaged/crushed. I cut off about 10' and thru it in the trash. The wrinkled edge continues deeper. I'll need to reprint a few images as the wrinkles go into the roll about 1 to 1.5" at this point. Since Im using it for bin prints. so I can probably work around the damaged product by shifting the prints away from the edge. So far, no paper hang-ups while printing.
I know this is production paper, but this second roll of paper seams noticeably thinner. I wish I had a bit of the old paper to really compare it to.
The image quality is fine, actually not much different than Lexjets better papers. But I doubt I'll ever purchase 8 mill production paper again due to the poor packaging and flimsy "hand" to this product..
Past rolls of Tribute and E-satin look to be a wiser purchase.
