I ordered the 7x10' size and it arrived rolled and wrapped in plastic sheeting.  I noticed that the ends of the plastic weren't closed (why, Wayfair??)  In other's reviews it seems many people have questions about the shade of yellow, and after having purchased this rug, I would say it's a cross between Behr paint color "Hawaiian Pineapple" PPU6-13 and "Upbeat" P300-5.  Regarding the shedding, I've had this rug for about a month and there is minimum-ish shedding, even with a crazy cat running on it - some speckles of fibers scattered along the edges that's sucked up in the weekly vacuuming.
