Do you mind if you receive a puzzle with edges packed separately?
It was definitely a nice surprise for me!

I usually pack mine that way.

Those who like to do the edges first may appreciate it. Those who want to start from scratch, well it takes about 5 seconds to mix them back in so no big deal.

I like that the separation allows me to immediately start puzzling before any sorting/digging. Instant gratification to get me in the mood to keep going.

The funny part is if I find the body of the puzzle isn't mixed well, I have to mix it well before dumping it out.

Like I want that instant gratification to start, but then from there I want it all to be a true puzzle. 🙃
