Is tough envelope ok to post plush toy?

[jesssuperparts]

I am new to selling on ebay.

I posted a 40cm long plush toy today. I am not quite worried as I am not very experienced in packing stuff. A staff member in the post office suggested me to just put the a 40cm long plush toy in  an Australia Post tough envelope, and said padded bag is not necessary. (I was going to buy a padded envelope). As the plush toy is sort of round, so the sealed tough envelope is no flat.  I was in a rush to go to work, so didn’t think much about it . But now I am so worried that the parcel will be squshed and broken during the delivery process.  I had my parcel registered though, paid exta $3.2.

Does anyone think the Austrlia Post tough envelope is suitable to post a plush toy which is not wrapped up with anything? I am worried that buyer will receive the toy in a broken package.

A tuff bag or plastic satchel is quite sufficient.

Absolutely, but I would still wrap it in a layer of bubble wrap, to protect it and pop it into slide-lock plastic bag.

Which is exactly what I said in the first post nova.:-D

However, I am not sure that you can get slide-lock bags big enough for the toy the OP sent. It would probably need to need to be a kitchen tidy bag or garbage bag.
