Is this a defect, is this normal for this Chanel item?

So I’ve never purchased any Chanel on EBay for fear of getting a fake. After reading some of youR comments I see some of have. I’ve purchased preloved bags on Fp and TRR with good results. I’m interested in expanding my options with a trusted seller. I’m in the US. Any leads would be appreciated.

I just received this mini square from the boutique and noticed a couple of things:

1. The left side of the bag sticks out when looking at it from the front and the right side does not. See picture one.

2. One side of the bag folds in more unevenly than the other side. See picture two.

Are these normal? Thank you in advance.

yes, my sides are uneven....i think yours looks just fine. its is very pretty (and puffy)- you will use it alot!!
Thank you. I do like the puffiness in the square mini vs. the rectangular. I also like the color and hardware combo, but am unsure if the uneven sides would bother me down the road or if I will feel the need to buy another black one in the future. I was looking for a black square mini initially.
 
It’s normal to me (also your first pic doesn’t seem straight on, looks angled from the left so it exaggerated the difference), but if you aren’t satisfied take it back. It’s a minor enough thing that it’s up to you to decide if it’s bothersome to you.

Regarding your point #1, I have that happen with my boy bag (which I got shipped to me from BG). It's normal but I also think it's quality issue. Granted, not all bag is perfect, but if you're being picky, I bet you can find one without these issues. Hence, I choose not to buy bag without my inspection, as I do like to avoid alignment issue on my purchase.

I agree. Unfortunately, I don’t have a boutique near me to be able to go inspect the purse and have to rely on remote communication with SAs. I also worry about returning on a regular basis.
 
I bought a mini and noticed that it wrinkles quite a bit when I open the flap (pic 3). Is it normal? Will the wrinkles become permanent over time? I also bought a square mini and it doesn’t appear to be a problem with that one, so I just want to make sure. Any guidance is appreciated.
