I do agree with that Tony, you'd think they were trying to fit them to a mouse hole, they roll them so tightly sometimes. It is a bit too much to ask that they flat pack a hide for shipping though. No one would pay the shipping costs if they did that. They should be told to loose roll them flesh side in though, with a wrapping around the roll to protect from dirt and scuffing. It would save a lot of anguish.
