Safe T Coin Page Problem, Very Upset

I recently completed a second purchase from an online coin supply site after being pleased with the low price, quick service and quality of things I got, they were Dansco albums so that isn't hard for them to mess up but anyways. I buy 800 1.5 x 1.5 cardboard flips a Buffalo nickel dansco album and 30 "economy binder pages" for the flips. The site said they could be a handful of different brands of pages including a kind I bought from a coin show before called "lead dog" which I liked and the kind I ended up getting "Safe T" which have turned out to be trash. I noticed as I counted them to make sure I got all 30 that there was some kind of moisture inside the pages. Is this normal? This kind of bothered me, but not much. As I was counting a few of the pages were clearly torn between the slots where the coins would be next to each other. I figured I would give these to my baby brother and scratch them off as a tiny loss. As I put in newly stapled (I squeezed the staples with plyers) 1.5 x 1.5 coin holders into the pages the seems began to tear, especially on the edge! UGGG I was finally going to get my collection cleaned up. I sent a message to the buyer and will let you guys know the outcome. A few points
-maybe it isn't worth it to safe the extra 10-15 cents a page
-has anyone had these pages, what was your outcome? Maybe I got a bad batch?
-what brands have you guys found to be nice pages
Hopefully I get a message back and it all gets straightened away soon. I was going to clean up these coins all week instead of roll hunting, now I have no boxes of coin and no pages to put my foreign stuff/canadian sets into.
Ok I'll go be sad now
