However, the spool was broken on arrival and the cord came unspooled and tangled

It's possible that I got a bad spool but quality control should be on their A game when it involves a product where people can be badly hurt if it fails.

Both spools were broken upon arrival.

They are very flimsy cardboard spools

Spool was crushed and paracord was entangled

Cons: I ordered two 1000' spools but then both got flagged as "undeliverable due to packaging failure"

Yup, just like everyone else, my spool was packed in a padded envelope, and both ends of the cardboard spool came off and had a rats nest of 250' of cord.

Very cheap spool.

The cheap cardboard spool in the cheap cardboard box caused the end of the spool to break off

THE SPOOL WAS BROKEN

Spool was broken and the cord is tangled all the way through the entire product.

spools before to do a job and with this one, the paracord was not enough to finish the job.

Most frustrating is the spool of Paracord was not one continuous piece, but multiple pieces

I’m using this paracord for setlines for Burbot fishing and they live deep, so I need a lot of paracord.. this spool was perfect.

Its a good spool of 550 cord

Spool came in a knotted mess, spool broken like everyone else says.

The spooling is cheap

Spool is compete crap, cardboard with plastic end caps

Cord is nice quality, only issue was it arrived with a crushed cheap spool so it all unwound and knotted up before I could even use it

The spool is very cheap cardboard and fell apart during shipping, which created a giant coil knot that took forever to get out.

It arrived on a broken, useless cardboard spool, and I know they arent going to do anything about that because its been a consistent issue per the reviews here

The spool was very cheap and lightweight and it was shipped in a bag.

Nice paracord, however, the "spool" it was supposed to be on apparently fell apart in shipping

Spool came in a knotted mess, spool broken like everyone else says.

The spools came loose and tangled

Shipped with a heavy gallon of cleaner which broke the spool

The cord itself is very good quality, but both spools I purchased were completely tangled

I would give it five stars but the spool they wound it on is horrible

Although the product seems ok itself, the spool came broken.

The spool was a disaster

This spool was perfect - economical and available in a range of colors

Terrible spool

Spool falls apart.

I do wish the spool was more sturdy

I always keep a spool of this line on hand very handy to have around

The cord is good but the spool it came on just about fell apart.

The spool was broken upon arrival.

When the package came the spool was broken and the paracord came undone and was a big ball of tangled mess

This caused additional work as while unrolling the spool the end went up in the trees as I pulled from

Arrived in a crushed box and crushed spool

Comes on a nice cardboard spool (I got the 250 ft).

The flimsy spool, however, fell into its five separate pieces the first time I picked it up, dumping all thousand feet of cord into a pile of entanglement that has been a nightmare to deal with.

There is little point in buying paracord on a spool if the spool is so pitiful it can't hold up in shipping

The cord itself is decent quality, but the spool is total garbage - just a super cheap cardboard tube with two flimsy cardboard ends that are weakly plugged into the tube.

The spool was broken and a bit of a mess in the box.

I expected a pretty good size spool

The spool was broken on the 250ft order

It is a big nuisance to untangle and even bigger to store a long cord without a good spool.

When it arrived, the spool had fallen apart completely

I didn’t suffer from any spool problems like other reviews

I accidentally dropped the spool and it blew apart, making a rat's nest of cord - see picture.

I love myself some good p-chord, and was stoked to get a grip of it
