CJ Safety 28" Blue PVC Traffic Safety Cones with Heavy Duty Black Base & 6" + 4" Reflective Collars

I needed these to mark turn around in work zone. Wanted something to stand out with the orange barrels. These worked good

Rugged

My 2 stars are for the seller/ shipper, not the cone construction. The construction of the cones is great, they are heavy and sturdy, I am sure that they would last for years.The problem is I thought I bought 6 blue cones. What I got are 2 blue cones and 4 aqua/teal color cones. Also, they look like they are used. As you can see in the pics, at least 3 have big scuff marks on them and the bases all have white marks around the edges like they have had paint or something spilled on them. They do not look professional and I am not sure we will be able to use them for their intended purpose. I think this could have been avoided by a more attentive shipper. One would think they could have looked at these and not felt good about sending them out. There was no damage to the box and the scuffed cones were nested inside others, so the marks were not made in shipping, they were like that when they left the warehouse. Poor attention to detail!

So far the Cones are sturdy but have a smell to them. I have aired them outside for days and they still have the smell. I will update after a week. Edit: 3 months later after being out doors, they still smell when stacked and placed indoors.
