Demonia Vegan Leather Crossbody Bag

I'm always impressed with the build quality on Demonia items. the buckle details and strap are held on well, and the inner pocket can fit a phone and wallet easily. more pockets are nice, but for a more simple bag, it's fine. the inside is fairly spacious too, and the latch mechanism is simple and pretty easy to use. the actual design i can see working with a lot of different outfits.

Was a gift for Christmas. Recipient was pleased but how the item was packaged for delivery was disappointing. This item is a rectangle box not a floppy purse. It was wrapped in a single piece of tissue paper inside a thin, unpadded plastic bag. I saw some dents and item looked bent, for lack of words. I ordered boots last year and remember they were packaged similar. The shoe box was crushed but luckily boots were ok. They were very expensive too. What exactly is the charge for shipping if this company is using the cheapest way to ship their products?
