The padding is removable. The item will be compressed for shipping. The items I offer are unused, but they are pre-owned items stored at home, so there may be some deterioration over time. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to this or are looking for a perfect item. When shipping, I will fold the item as small as possible, so please be aware of any folding wrinkles. Recycled packaging materials will be used. Please understand that there may be folding wrinkles as the item is stored folded. As this is a pre-owned item, please understand that there may be overlooked flaws such as fraying or stains before purchasing. I do not respond to price requests. Thank you for your understanding. The shipping carrier may be changed to save on shipping costs. Please note that if the item fits in a Yu-Packet Post Mini bag, it will be shipped via Yu-Packet Post Mini. Items with thickness may be compressed, so please be aware of this.
