CAN'T BELIEVE LUG PACKAGING FOR TSV

usffan — Thu, 23 Apr 2020 20:19:08 GMT

Just received my Lug TSV and it wasn't in a box or QVC plastic bag. It was sent in a thin clear plastic bag with sticker on it. Did any of you receive your TSV bag like that? May not keep because of Covid-19.

@usffanBecause you think the virus could penetrate the plastic?

I also received my Lug TSV today, it was in the type of package you explained, I do not see any problem with it at all. I understand it is virtually impossible to get the virus off the mail anyway. You only have it in your hand long enough to ope and then dispose of, so I believe you are worrying unnecessarily. Just Wash your hands often you will be fine!

I also received the Lug TSV today in the same kind of packaging as you described, I personally see no problem with it. You only have it in your hand long enough to open it and then dispose of the bag. They say it is virtually impossible to get the virus from mail anyway, I believe you are worrying unnecessarily. Just wash your hands often and you will be fine.

Mine just shipped today, supposed to be here by 5/1. Hope it's packed in something sturdier than you got!

I received my two today, each packaged like the OP described. One was fine but the other one got more compressed by the postal machinery it went through and thus parts of it are a little more "bent" or squished (the small top handle and the firm bottom as well as part of a top zippered portion). These bags were $60 each with the tax and S&H and I am NOT happy about how they were packaged to go through the postal machinery. Having bought two, I was expecting them to come packed together in a box. I wish they had been.

I would not be happy if my order came in a clear plastic bag.

I ordered one before the TSV day and one at midnight of the TSV day for my daughter. The latter arrived today and the one I ordered before the TSV day hasn't even shipped yet. That's very strange. So I wonder if you order early they put your order to the rear.

@usffan Not sure I understand your concern, but if you are afraid the virus is on the package do not touch it for 5 - 7 days. The virus could live on plastic for that long.

I received my TSV in the same packaging as described and did not think there was anything at all wrong with it!

The bag isn't leather, so it certainly wasn't damaged. I opened and poufed out the sides and compartments and it is perfectly fine.

I was thrilled it arrived so quickly - two days ago - and can't wait to actually go out and use it.

I received mine today, too, and they were packaged as the OP described. I have NO problem with it whatsoever. They were perfectly fine. They were "safe." I respect companies that seek cost-efficient ways to send items to customers. Frankly, I am glad to NOT have another cardboard box to break down and take up my garbage can (i.e like my numerous Amazon boxes).

I got mine yesterday, too, and it was in the same kind of plastic bag. I was kind of surprised as I have never received any order from the Q in that type of thing. I thought it was a bit flimsy and could have been sent in a sturdier, mailer bag type thing. The plastic could have been easily torn as it was like a thin plastic as you would see a blouse or something placed in and then put inside a box or heavier mailer. Luckily, the bag did not appear to be pierced or anything. My mail - catalogs, etc, often shows up torn or damaged, so I was glad that this arrived safely. I don't feel this was the best way to send this! I wasn't really worried about the Virus but worried that the product might have gotten damaged.

I would not have been happy with that type of packaging.

I believe the Lug products come directly from the vendor. It's quite possible that because of current circumstances, they just didn't have the usual shipping bags.

A lot of things are different now and will probably continue to be that way for a while.

I have several Lug bags and I do really like them. I have stopped purchasing though because they are not packaged well and I've had to return a couple that were damaged, like literally torn. I'm not concerned about the virus as I take my packages in with gloves and let them sit in the garage for a few days before opening them. They need to be packaged better, the post office and UPS are extremely busy and cannot be expected to handle everything with care. It's like expecting the luggage handlers to treat your suitcase tenderly!! LOL

Mine arrived the exact same way. One bag clear with one of the ends opened. The other one in a gray bag like when I get denim &company the bags were all right, but that packaging sure surprised me. Couldn't believe what I was seeing.

To those of who whose bags came in great condition, as one of my two did, I'm happy for you. But IMO, as I stated above, the packaging did not afford enough protection to go through postal machinery.

I received mine in the same clear "look at what is inside" packaging. I was very surprised as I've never had a Lug bag to arrive like that. Let's add to it that the thin clear packaging was torn and the invoice was coming out of the pocket designed to hold it as the side was almost completely open.

I was really looking forward to that red bag as a lift during this dismal time. Instead, it had completely the opposiite effect. I have the Cuddl Duds TSV coming to me. Now, to see if it will be enclosed in a "Like what you see then take it" bag.

I'm getting a bit nervous about what condition mine is going to be in; it's coming to California from New York, that's a whole lot of handling!

(Not nervous about the virus being on the bag, worried about the bag not holding up.)
