If you bought a straw hat would you be pissed off if it arrived folded rather than flat?

Someone's ordered a straw hat from me on Ebay. The hat went for £8 including p&p. It's cost me less than that to buy brand new. It's a pliable straw and can fold easily on the brim. I've packaged it in a makeshift box the best I can by carefully folding up the brim and tying it into place. Would you be pissed off if a straw hat came like this? I didn't think packaging a hay would ever be so difficult!

If it damages the hat, yes.

Christ, yes. It will surely be impossible to get back into shape?

I'd put it in a bag rather than folding it into a too small box

I might do that then and make sure I pack the hat bit well so it doesn't lose shape.
