Whats the difference between bulk, retail, universal packaging?

Usuaully with bulk packaging you don't get all the different sizes of ear buds. With universal you DO usually get everything that comes in the retail packaging. Unless you are giving it as a gift, don't waste your money getting the retail packing. Universal has always worked for me

buy bulk or universal packaging. It's cheap for the same product as retail, just without the expensive and pretty packaging.

I found that it doesn't come with all the ear gels (only one-one size) and only comes with one size ear hook. And an aftermarket charger.

Bulk packaging is usually refurbished of used product. It's not what the seller is advertising, but it's what they are selling. You can return it to Amazon free of charge if you complain to them. They will give you a mailing label to drop it off at a UPS store. Avoid this Scammer.

In Bulk you just get a ziplock bag with the exact same stuff as is contained in the ridiculously over packaged crap you end up with from best buy type stores i Love it!

Mine was original retail packaging. But there is usually a place for specific notes and requirements when you order.

I think bulk packaging means more than one item per package. Usually a less expensive way to ship.

The standard packaging is the same thing you would find in the store. Frustration free packaging is where you can open everything up without needing a grenade, large hunting knife or nuclear explosive device. For some items, it is certainly worth it especially for things bound in blister packs which are either sealed with heat or crimped on the outside. For this item, I have not seen the normal packaging but the frustration free was super easy.

It means it is packaged the same as if you bought it in a store such as Office Depot. Not a bulk pack broken down as some sellers do.

One we purchased came in full US retail packaging. The assortment of addons were individually packed.

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.

No, it's Bulk packaging which comes in a zip - lock bag. I can assure you makes no difference whatsoever to the actual item

You are very welcome. I would definitely order the bulk packaging. I got it for less than 50% of the store price locally.

Retail packaging includes a nice plastic pox. Otherwise I don't believe there is any difference between the contents.

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.

The one with packaging is the same as the one without. It may appear it looks different, but based on my memory they are the same.

I have owned both - no difference just packaging. Usually one of the two is cheaper from day to day.

Bulk packaging refers to an item being shipped in a nondescriptive box unlike the retail version. It still comes with everything you need.

Hi, Bulk packaging means that you receive the original new items in plastic bags well wrapped instead of standard carton that you see in the show room, My openion this is very practical and economical way to reduce the cost, especially if it is not a prize. Hope this would help

Most "bulk" packaged electronics are not legit. If you're buying a supposed new apple, motorola, belkin, etc. product its probably a ghost run (employee will run additional product using leftover or rejected materials to make additional product to sell on the gray market), reject, or knockoff. Especially memory cards! If the deal sounds to good to be true, it probably is.
