The point isn't that THIS glove survived, but that the sender risked damaging the glove. I'd say it's a 50/50 chance that something heavy would squish a glove shipped this way in transit. Even if the sender wouldn't have argued a return if the glove were squished, you are still out the glove you wanted and the time taken to undo the situation.
Of course, some guys like pancakes. I did a local relace. Glove was a complete pancake and the lining had rotted out. During the relacing, I was able to reshape it and redevelop a pocket, partly by lacing in a large new leather palm.
So the guy takes one look at it, says "cool." and closes the glove and starts to mush the pocket to "re-pancake" it. It's his glove, all I could d o is shake my head.
