What is the verdict on these? $25 and no discount :(.
Anyone here purchased one? How is the quality? Flimsy or stiff?
Does it seem like $25 worth or do I just write it off as a lifestyle brand choice.
I keep looking at them hoping the discount will kick in.

Worth it.

Regardless of price it’s pretty thin and easily bent. Would take literally a second to bend them. Not saying they are not worth $25 because they are.
 
The signs are quite thin and bend easily. The "Always Sharp" sign I ordered was bent (nothing catastrophic) at some point prior to delivery. I got it back in acceptable shape with me fingers.

Worth $25? They are made in the USA, are of good size, & appealing to the eye. However, I would buy more, maybe all, at a lower price.

Not sure about the packing, I think a padded envelope.
 
OK, I pulled the trigger. I gave in on the 110 Slim Elite and added a Tin Tacker sign so it would get a free ride with the shipping. Selected the round one top R. Tough decision, I kinda like them all but not where I'd spend $150.

Arrived loose diagonally in a large box with a lot of paper. Surprised there was not even a sleeve.
My 110 Slim Elite was in there also. Now you no longer have to wonder Jesse.... :)
Wouldn't pass for a street sign but it's thick enough for what it is. I'm pleased with it.
Still deciding where to hang it. I'm loathe to put nails in my walls but it's pretty light so I might try some of that hanging putty.

The edge is rolled a bit so inconsistent reading with a caliper but ~.020 to .023 or about 23/24 gauge. (Al)
Google says 20lb paper is .004" so maybe 5-6 sheets?
Too lazy to fetch a micrometer from the basement.
The perimeter has a stamped lip rib and the Anvil / Lettering in the center is raised so that helps give the sign some rigidity.

Sounds like they got summer help in their shipping department that needs some guidance on damage free packaging!! 🤔😞🫣
