I've used these for 10-15 years. I've never had them delivered like that though. I've had them warp if I boil them up with washing soda in the Burco so I now use a lower temperature.
Advantages of these frames:
1. No nails needed. Just open like a book and pop in the foundation - useful because I keep all my kit in my main apiary. I leave the straps intact in the brood frames but remove them in the supers. Unwired foundation in both.
2. Easier to clean cf wooden brood frames.
Disadvantages:
1. They have become progressively more expensive, now £2 ea cf T's seconds wood frames @50p.
2. Being moulded they have hollow spaces within. These become occupied by wax moth larvae.
