Are the bags rolled or folded for delivery? Will folding compromise the integrity of the bag?

They are folded and they shouldn't be. The bags should be rolled. We received ours and you can see daylight through the inside of the bag on the fold. I will be contacting the seller. Don't get me wrong. The bags are good material. They just need to be shipped differently.

The Glad bags I have are folded together, not in a roll, and open easily. I also have Hefty bags in a roll. When I rip one off, I first unfold bad to its full width, lick index finger and thumb, grip the unsealed end and slide each finger in a different direction. Hope it helps.

The bags are actually pretty thin, but I haven't had any problems with them ripping. Sadly, I haven't always been able to say the same about other thicker bags I have tried. All in all, I'm pretty happy with them.

Answer is No. Because of the padding and fan, it is not possible to fold the bag in any way.

It was folded in shipment, but not enough to crease it. I haven't seen where it affects the usability of the strap.

They are ridgid / flat. They can not be rolled-up. It is a very tough platic material.

This would have to be rolled. It is too thick to fold. Not really for travel in this size. :)

They don't fold for packing, but I wouldn't recommend them, they stopped working after a week. ( one speaker ) Couldn't return them as I didn't have the barcode from the package. ( they were a Xmas present for my daughter ). I would look elsewhere.

I have never bought them before but the ones I got a few days ago are really thin. I wouldn't ship anything in them without two bags just cause the mail is so rough on things-I'm afraid it would tear.

It shipped rolled up. You can fold it but it is stiff and will unfold unless you have something on top of it.

Bags do not fold flat because of hard plastic that serves as base for each compartment. They stay pretty much like in the picture, which (if you don't mind) is kind of bulky. The middle section is for mounting and securing the panniers on the rack. There are a couple of clip on straps, one on each side, that secure them to the back tire. Hope this answers your question.

The ones I received at the time have no seal option. At one end, one side of the bag is about 1 3/4" longer than the other so it can be folded over, but there is no seal included. You must apply your own type of seal; i.e. tape or perhaps heat if you have it.

Ideally best stored laid out flat or gently folded. Will not be harmed stored in the stuff sack.

Mine was delivered folded, with the cover on. To unfold and set up is super easy, and just involves locking a joint on the two longer top bars. We have folded it up and set it back up multiple times for travel with no problems.

mine was shipped rolled up in a really nice, sturdy, cardboard cylinder. When I pulled it out it looked perfect, no creases or folds. :)

Ships in a big box stuffed with paper for support. I have never had any issues with the bag being damaged. I order monthly.

I think so depends how crushed it is around other items in your bag, but roll it up & I bet it would be fine.
