USA Gear Console Carrying Case

I leave for a long trip very soon. I had been reading reviews and looking at bags for my console a couple weeks and decided on this bag. I received the bag in two days and upon opening I realized there was a pungent odor emanating from the box. The bag smelled like someone dumped an ashtray in it and left if for a year. The smoke smell was so strong I had to remove it from the room (This is not a chemical smell, I'm allergic to smoke and started to sneeze/get a runny nose/itchy eyes and it was so strong I got a headache). I can't return it and get a new bag in time for the trip so I decided to try to remove the smell myself (baking soda overnight then vacuum, dryer sheets and Lysol odor eliminating spray). I think it isn't as strong anymore and I will be wrapping all of my belongings up to protect them. One good thing? I managed to figure out the best way to remove a horrible smell from fabric! I don't know if someone used it to hide their lit cigarettes so the boss didn't find it or if it was in a building that was on fire (smoke damage) but I will not buy this brand nor buy from this seller in the future. I'm disappointed that a supposedly "new item" is shipped this way. There is no excuse.
