What does E-commerce ready packaging mean?

I received my cooker today and it had paper wrapped around it - no box, no foam, no warranty, no instruction booklet. I am wondering if it is used! Very disappointing, Amazon.

I think it refers to the fact that Hamilton Beach has packed their product in a box that is designed to fit snugly inside a standard "Amazon" box. The buyer benefits from the more secure double-boxing... For what it's worth: That's just a shot-in-the-dark....

I just received mine today in E-commerce packaging. It arrived in a sturdy box with foam protection. My guess is that they eliminate the usual "picture" factory box that you see in stores. That saves space and double packaging.

I received this today. It comes in the outer cardboard box with the product description on it, not the normal "attractive" box you find in the store. Shipping stickers are on the box, so keep that in mind if you are giving this as a gift.

I am giving this as a gift. Is the E-commerce packaging appropriate for that? With E-commerce packaging, do you still receive all the warranty/product information inside?

E-Commerce ready packaging is a set of criteria set forth by warehousing company (Amazon being one them) that regulates the size, efficiency of the package, and the protection it provides to the product. As a result the packaging may be different than what you would normally see at a brick and mortar store as those products are generally shipped packages on a pallet, and don't need to be as durable.

Bulk packaging means that many of these were packaged together in one larger container for shipping to a reseller or large commercial buyer. It'll be packaged in a simple box or something. A retail packaged product will be just like you would get one in a store -- in a plastic clamshell package with a bunch of marketing/product info all over it. Retail packaged means it'll cost more for the privilege of more difficulty getting to your product. Save your money and buy this one.

Retail is a genuine product meant for the retail market. Frustration free package is without the original packaging and meant for the dealer/rep/display/overstock market. Not supposed to be for sale, but can be sold

I believe it basically means that it comes with just the product in a plain box (normally because it wasnt for retail sale). Depending on the company it may not include the extra pamphlets, instructions, etc...just the product itself.

I'm not sure what it means, because I got it in the original packaging... I was a bit skeptical too but when it arrived... It was brand new ... Sorry not much help

Usually means it is not in the original box. If you are buying a REPACK at the normal discounted price, make sure it is not a used piece.

Probably the same product. It is just how the merchant describes the packaging.

Frustration-Free packaging is an option for customers to have an easier un-packing/un-boxing experience. It eliminates materials like steel wire ties and hard plastic clamshells to ensure nothing gets between you and your product. Check this link to know more about it:

It means it is not in a fancy marketing box like you would see in a store. Picture a plain brown box. Period.

It just means that it's not the packaging you'd see sitting in the store shelf. Mitt like what's in the back at a warehouse. The product is definitely new and will have all of the pieces.

Hi, Retail packaging usually means unused and new, in the box from the retailer. Just as if you went to your local store to purchase it. Non-Retail is without the box or outer packaging. In this case, there was a ESD bag that was cut open to put the items into the bag, then folded over and sealed with a piece of tape. The bag contained the Motorola Elite HZ770 Sliver II headset, the charging case & the A/C cord (To charge the unit). Also, non-retail packaging usually does not include other stuff like manuals and other things that can be downloaded by the buyer, after the purchase.

If memory serves, "Frustration-free" packaging is packaging that is easier to open. Sometimes, more than likely, frustration-free packaging will take longer to ship than standard packaging.

I have no idea what is meant by that part of the description; it arrived it what would consider perfectly normal packaging.

Should be fine Roger, sometimes vendors just like to and the packaging statement in for extra umph. : ) hope this helps

It means annoying manufacturer packaging is eliminated (think those plastic cases that you need and arc welder and dynamite to get into). It is essentially open the amazon box, and viola your product (in this case the candy will likely still be in a sealed bag of some sort)

bulk packaging is where they place the product and little booklet telling how to use it in a plastic bag. Regular packaging is in a box and sometimes in a fancy display type box. usually less expensive packaged in bulk...product is still the same.

Bulk packaging is normally a large number of the same item being purchased. Such as a case of the same item, which would give you a better purchase price.
