i just got my first cards in a PWE from the States & they are all bent in half 

🤮 yuck that sucks

my sister went outside i think she was actually crying & didn't want me to see her

I've done well over 300 trades over the past few years, to trading partners in eight countries, and all but maybe 2 or 3 were in PWE envelopes.  Never had a complaint about card condition.  Whether PWE, bubble envelope, kraft, etc what it really comes down to (in my hiumble opinion) is how you package them.  PWE is generally more economical as well, which ic important because of the Canadian postage rates - particularly for US and international.

Were they securely packaged? (Bent due to sender or Post office?)

Suppose that would be a opinion perhaps ?? Cause each packs different 

No, it should not be based on an opinion. If the sender did not do a good job of packaging with study cardboard, tape, etc., then it's on him/her and should be mentioned when leaving feedback.

If it seemed to be packaged securely and the PO did a poor job, ran it incorrectly through their machine, etc. then it should be called out as such.

Well that's true but I was saying even if someone does that (what your saying and I agree with) one may have unreasonable expectations since stuff is going thru customs. Who knows what happens there
