Very early on a rainy morning, I went outside, and there was the package from Red River, which had apparently been sitting outside all night in the rain. The UPS driver had not rung the bell, so I had no idea that your box was waiting for me. He had not even placed it under the front door overhang, so it had been directly in the rain.
Yes -- the box was quite damp. But lo and behold, due to the meticulous packing of Red River Paper's employees, although some of the bubble wrapping inside was wet and a few boxes of paper had droplets of water on the shrink wrap, NONE of the paper or the boxes containing it were wet, or damaged at all! I had been completely out of paper, so I was very thankful.
Not only does Red River have beautiful quality paper, even your packing materials are of high quality. The heaviness of your shipping box contributed to the good outcome -- a night in the rain did not destroy it!
My only comment is that maybe you would be better off using US Postal Service to make your deliveries. They ALWAYS ring the bell, and see packages safely into my hands.
Thank you so much for your outstanding service. I called after receiving the box and asked customer service to convey my thanks to your warehouse workers. I hope they got my message.
Papers with the Archival designtation can take many forms. They can be glossy, matte, canvas, or an artistic product. These papers are acid free, lignin free and can be made of virgin tree fiber (alpha cellulose) or 25-100% cotton rag. They are likely to have optical or fluorescent brightening agents (OBAs) - chemicals that make the paper appear brighter white. Presence of OBAs does not indicate your image will fade faster. It does predict a slow change in the white point of your paper, especially if it is displayed without UV filter glass or acrylic.
Archival Grade Summary

Acid and lignin free base stock
Inkjet coating layer acid free
Can have OBAs in the base or the coating
Museum Grade Paper
Papers with the museum designation make curators happy. They are made from 100% cotton rag content and have no optical brightener content. (OBA) The base stock is acid and lignin free. The coating is acid free. This type of offers the most archival option in terms of media stability over time.

Photographic Grade Paper
Photo Grade products are designed to look and feel like modern photo lab paper. Most photo grade media are resin coated, which means they have a paper core covered by a thin layer of polyethelene (plastic) . Plastic gives the paper its photo feel, stability (flatness), water resistance, handling resistance, and excellent feed consistency.
Prints on photo grade media are stable over long periods. With pigment inks in a protected environment, you can see up to 80 years on-display life. All RC papers are Photo Grade for two reasons. Plastic content is not technically archival by museum standards. Also, the inkjet coating of all RC papers is slightly acidic. It facilitates instant drying and does not actually change the stability of your inks over time. Virtually all RC papers have optical brightening agents (OBAs).
