Orchiata Bark Quality Control

[cherrypuff]

Hi guys, I recently purchased a bag of Orchiata bark through Amazon. I opted for the "Power" size, 3/8” to 1/2" bark.

When the package arrived, it was fully covered in dust. The bark itself was sealed within the pink Dalton's packaging, but the tiny air holes in the bag left trails of dust everywhere. Even as I poured the bark out, a large dust cloud came out with it.

Additionally, I've noticed that some of the bark pieces don't look like Orchiata, as they are much more yellow.

Lastly, many of the bark pieces are very very very thin, to the point where I can easily snap them in half.

This is my first time purchasing Orchiata Bark, so I'm not sure if this is the norm, or if I just received a bad batch. If anyone could weigh in on this, I would greatly appreciate the input!
