BULK Packaging What does "BULK Packaging" mean? How is this different from "New" or "Used?" Thanks.

Take it from someone who has already been burned. Bulk packaging = NO SanDisk Warranty !! If the card fails you might as well throw it away.

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.

Bulk packaging means that it will not come in a box, like what you see in a store. I believe most of the sellers will ship it in a small plastic case.

This is 100% true. Sandisk warranty only apply to retail packaging. In fact, most any Sandisk card sold is bulk is likely counterfeit.http://sosfakeflash.wordpress.com/2011/12/28/sosfakeflash-news-20111228-china-sellers-unleash-a-new-plague-of-fake-flash-memory-on-ebay-buy-now-listings-for-sandisk-kingston-memorette-counterfeits-memory-cards-and-usb-flash-drives/

Bulk packaging also means there are NOT several little packages in the case/carton. It's just one big bunch. For example I ordered paper placements online. I will receive them brand new, packed in a real box, not plastic pkg, & there will be 1,000 placemats in a regular pile, not individually wrapped, not packaged for resale.

SHOULD be exact same card as new, retail packaging. Bulk means the package will not be decorated, anti-theft, etc. The retail packaging is over-sized and blinged up for display in a store. Whereas bulk is plain, minimalistic, the minimum necessary to ship the product. (this is a general comment on bulk packaging, it varies... I haven't received this particular product yet.)

Does this mean that it will still be a good product or should I go for the product that states new.

I purchased a motorola bluetooth headset "bulk packaging" from a well known internet dealer and the item came to me all scratched and looked like it was a refurbished item. Seller did not say item was new or a refurb on the ad. I ended up returning item. I also purchased a Logitech mouse from the same seller again "bulk packaging" and the mouse started acting up on me after only 4 months. I waiting now for a response from Logitech.

Most of the "bulk packaging" items are manufactured in China and we know China's reputation for producing knock offs. Typically no product registration, instructions, or accessories. They are often sold with a vendors warrantee, in absence of a manufactures warrantee. Can't imagine why a manufactured would knowingly allow a "bulk" product to compete with their retailed products. It's not even a ligit term - bulk shipping is usually container ot tanker loads, not small electronic products.

It just means it comes without any mounting screws, software, manuals, cables, etc. and is shipped in plain packaging. It's also something known as bulk packaging or OEM.

The bulk indication is in regards to the packaging. The lack of retail packaging, not the quantity.

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.

I just got mine and retail packaging is the same packaging that you would get if you bought it off the shelf. It was not opened in any way. Sometimes you'll see the term bulk packaging. That means it was taken out of the original box and it's shipped loose, usually in a little clear plastic bag. It may or may not be used. My guess is that someone bought it, tried it and returned it.

Likely that they were originally purchased in bulk or that they have a bulk supply of them. The headset comes without original packaging, but instead in a small ziploc-like bag. The BULK description has nothing to do with functionality or quality, but only packaging.

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

I suspect that bulk packaging means it comes in a plain box, rather than a Canon-branded retail box...it is likely the lens is a kit lens (a lens intended to be sold in the same box with a camera body) that has been removed from the kit and is being sold separately.

"Bulk packaged" is in fact refurbished. The headset includes a 90-day limited warranty issued by a third party warranty services company specifically for refurbished products. The retail version is brand new and includes a one-year warranty directly from Plantronics. I purchased both a retail version and the bulk version through Amazon at the same time. Examining both units, I also noticed a few small scratches and gouges on the bulk version where the two halves come together, presumably the result of being pried apart to repair the unit. There's nothing wrong with selling refurbished products, but they should be labeled as such. These are being presented as "new" and that is misleading, basically bait and switch.

used mean that someone has used the program before and sold it to amazon...I really don't do used on amazon..I make sure that is says new.

Each vendor that has this product for sale states their condition separately. Unless it says new in box do not assume so. Ask the vendor a direct question on their item and you will know what they are offering. It is common practice to take a large kit and sell the components separately. That is what bulk means.

open box means the box of the product has been opened. The product can still be new.

REPACK means not in original box. (At least that's what I have seen from other companies when that say this term!)

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

I asked Amazon about that and they said it means the speaker has for some reason been opened (either used or refurbished) and has indeed been repacked. I decided not to pay that kind of price for a used speaker with a new box

Bulk packaging is when they mail it out to u in the original box of the item

I think it's just a different type of packaging specific to Amazon (and maybe other online sellers). They do that to cut down on unnecessary bulk and to eliminate things like blister packs and other antitheft measures.
