According to my friend....when she opened the space bag, which was in transit for 6 days....it plumped back up right away. I had told her to lay it out on her bed as son as she got it out of the box/bag. She said it looked great.
My friend lives in Nebraska on a cattle ranch.....true God's country. They only get mail Monday/Wednesday & Friday .
Yeah we had a ball trying to get it all figured out & in the bag/box. I figured others may want to know how to do this, so they could save on shipping costs.

A note about taping over your printed label on the Priority mail boxes: I have been told by the postal clerks NOT to tape over the bar coding, because the shine makes it difficult to read using the hand held tracking devices. Ample taping is a good thing, but not over the code.

I have used those space bags for storing extra quilts, blankets, etc. in the closets. They usually work, but once in awhile it will spring a leak and it will go back to normal size.....as I read your shipping tale, I was thinking....oh I hope it doesn't pop on the way to its destination!
I would be leary to use them for mailing packages.....
