In my experiences not always, the bags were stuffed with bubble wrap, foldable material ( like styrofoam), or a pillow as a nice gesture.

My LV tote was ship folded up
I purchase two goyard bags from their boutiques this year and once came folded and the other didn't. Let me say that I was SO upset with the one that was shopped folded because I thought the "crease folds" wouldn't go away. I was totally wrong and they went away after one use of bag!! as for the one that was shipped filled with bubble wrap,.... It looked nice but the leather trim on the top arrived "Wavy". It was so upsetting! now when i sell bags if they are foldable I ship them folded and give my buyer the heads up as to why
 
so how do you think, does it worth it to buy some pillows like that and send them with bags to my buyers?:smile:
I am asking as I NEVER got any thank you messages for any of the presents or post cards I put into packages:biggrin::biggrin:

maybe it depends on the style? when I ship speedy or neverfull, I fold them, when it's hard shaped bag, I stuff it with smth like paper of bubbles:)

I always ship with layers of bubble wrap. I am careful to make sure that I wrap each part separately so that I do not create any folds or let the chains touch the leather. I would be very happy if my purchase arrived with a pillow like that, but I would not expect it. I am a bit dismayed when I buy an expensive bag and it is just shoved into a priority rate long, skinny box without any bubble wrap or protection from the chain. This has happened to me 3 times now with bags $2,500+ ...amazing.

I wrap it in a dust bag, then plastic bag, then USPS box and fill all the empty space with paper / bubbles or also such things, don't know how to call them, like small air pillows, these ones

Real pillows add too much weight.
Which isn't a problem if you are using Tradesy's label. When I ship with a Tradesy label, I stuff the purse with white paper, wrap in tissue, put in a plastic bag, then use crushed newspaper to fill in all the empty spaces in the box, because the weight isn't an issue. If I sell the same bag on another site where I'm paying for postage, I use air pillows instead of newspaper.

Plus your buyer can read smth interesting in these newspapers while unpacking their purchase!:biggrin::heart:
