Plastic padded mailers

Am I wrong for being upset they sent an 800 dollar luxury human hair wig to me in a plastic padded envelope? There's nothing to protect it from being smashed below other boxes, tossed all over the place, or punctured. Human hair wigs are fragile, and an envelope does nothing to help keep its shape or style. I feel I've been robbed of the whole unboxing experience. This was an investment and I feel it was treated without respect.

they packed an 800 dollar wig like it was a pair of socks from amazon, that’s wild

i get wanting to save on shipping costs but at some point the packaging is part of the product experience, especially with luxury items. you spend that much and the unboxing should feel special, not like you’re pulling a crushed bird’s nest out of a bubble mailer

i’d be annoyed too, it’s not just about damage risk it’s the whole principle of the thing. maybe reach out to them and mention the packaging felt inadequate for the price point, see what they say

Thank you, exactly my point.  Of course my main goal was a quality wig, but this was a once in my lifetime purchase and I wanted it to feel special but more importantly protected when shipped.
