Is this supposed to come with the tape core?

It does come with it but no tape included.

Why don’t these (all brands) have blade replacements for when it get dull and stops cutting nicely?

Great question and the simple answer is that we do not want anyone to get hurt trying to replace the cutting blades on our desktop tape dispenser. If we can help with any additional product information, reach out to our team at 1-800-328-6276 Mon-Fri 8:00-4:30 CT and provide them with case 27980649.

how high is dispenser with tape in it? I need to know if itwill fit in my desk drawer.

Including the tape roll, the tearing blade is the tallest part at slightly less than 2-1/2" (65mm). Mine fits inside a 2-12" deep drawer.

will it fit a Scotch C38 dispenser?

Just happen to have it next to me at my desk, on the bottom it says it is a C-38 tape dispenser.

Delivery of 3/4" Core instead of 1" Core.

As mentioned the Scotch desktop tape dispenser should be 1" core, whereas the delivery was 3/4" core. The description is not accurate and price is more.
