If the bags are shielding bags, then it's ok. If you use only "pink poly" bags then it's not ok! If the store outside of the EPA, the minimum reuqirement is "ESD shielding".

I need some more inputs : non-grounded racks are metal? Do you have the ESD Floor? If your answer is YES "It is permissible"

I'll equivocate a little bit with my answer. First, I'd like to know what you mean as "ESD compliant bags" ... specifically. If the inner and outer surfaces of the bags are dissipative (per ESD S11.11) then I would think it's "OK" ... BUT it's always better to ground everything, in my opinion.
