A handbag should arrive in the condition shown in the listing. Packing is part of that promise. Give the bag enough room and protection, then keep a clear record of what was sent.

Document the item first

Take final photographs of the condition and included accessories. Keep the order details and accessory list together. A packing video may help keep a record, but it is not a substitute for the carrier’s requirements or the selling platform’s process.

Protect without crushing

Use clean, colourfast protective materials. Support the bag gently if necessary, without stretching it. Keep hard accessories from pressing directly into a delicate surface. Choose an outer box that does not force the bag into a flattened shape.

Check the delivery service

Confirm tracking, signature options where appropriate, and the carrier’s declared-value and coverage terms. Do not assume a luxury item is covered for its full value just because a parcel is tracked. For a programme-managed sale, follow that programme’s specific shipping instructions.

Keep the handover record

Check the address against the order, close the parcel securely and keep the posting receipt. Share the tracking information through the platform or agreed order channel. If there is a problem, work through the documented delivery process. The purpose is a careful handover with evidence, rather than a parcel that merely looks attractive when opened.
