How valuable are the parts? It should be ok but you've got to weigh up the value of the parts compared to the effort of popping into your local PC shop and just asking for a few spare anti-static bags.
I'd suggest there is probably more of a risk they'll get snapped/bent in the bubble wrap than from any likelihood of static damage but it is still a possibility I suppose.

While true that doesn't seem the most useful way to answer the question. If mks2005 had kept the packaging would he need to be asking here?
I definitely wouldn't send ram in a bubble wrap envelope unless you have a hard outer such as cardboard wrapped around it first.
Pretty sure there's no static problems though to be safe always try use an inner and outer so a cpu inside a small box inside the envelope.

Some of these components are quite old, don't think I'd have enough storage space in my house if I kept boxes for this long...
But yeah, they're not particularily valuable. I'll probably have a look and see if I can get my hands on some antistatic bags.
