Hi Paula. Thanks for your feedback.
We’d like to clarify that the packaging format is stated in both the product name and description at the time of purchase. The item you selected is specifically listed as being supplied in bags rather than tubs, which is why it was packaged that way when dispatched. Hope this helps.
