Hi
Over the years, I have gotten strange batches of filament from a variety of people. I also store filament in less than ideal conditions. A cheap vacuum pump and a vacuum rated pot have cleared up the majority of the issues.
It does *not* help much with the rolls of 3 mm filament I still have sitting around in the "brave new world" of 1.75 mm extruders .... Eventually I'll have to rebuild a 3 mm machine to use the stuff up. My guess is that the vacuum pump will be working overtime on those rolls. Some are going on 4 years old and even the pump may not resurrect them.
Truth in lending: Most of what I have used from them has been PETG, I've run a half dozen spools of ABS and about the same in PLA. There's been maybe 4X that many rolls of PETG in various flavors.
