what is the difference between retail and bulk packaging?

There is no difference between the headsets and what they come with (headset, charger, manual). The "retail" package is just that - the plastic package you'd find at a retail store. The bulk package is a zipper plastic bag.

I found it to be in a small zip lock bag. I also experienced missing pads for the earpiece of which I filed a complaint with the seller. I got no resolution from the seller, however Amazon refunded my purchase price.

Retail is the packaging you find if you bought the item in a store. Their bulk packaging is the items are re-packed loosely in a more compact or differnt package.There are times I believed I received returned merchandise in bulk. For peace of mind, I try to stick with retail packaging... Just my take on things.

There is no difference in addition to the packing.the Frustration-Free Packaging is more firmer than the other.

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.

There is no substantive difference with respect to the device and charging unit. "Retail packing" looks like packaging you would see in a store. "Bulk packing" is simpler, smaller and less decorative. But the device and charger are the same as those contained in the fancier "retail packaging".

It isn't in it's own fancy box. I ordered two of these and got them in the mail yesterday. Although I believe them to be brand new. It was just simply wrapped in bubble wrapping. So I believe the bulk packaging means the way it is shipped, and packaged with safe bubble wrap from the warehouse, or manufacturer.

Oh, I don't know why that is. Packaging may be different for online as opposed to retail. This is a question for Feliway - http://www.feliway.com/us/. Good luck!

I investigated the difference. There both the same item just one is retail and one is business, for some strange reason retail was more expensive than business. I recommend business it comes out to be a tad cheaper and comes in a package wrapped with instructions. Hope this helps.

This product is new and packed in uncolored package which called bulk packaging.

the business comes in a brown box. the retail comes in the pretty high gloss packaging you would see at a resale location i.e. target/bestbuy. due to the reduced packaging and other small feature adjustments, the price is typically less for the business.

MR RC-"Bulk packaging" means a simplified packaging that is something less than retail packaging. Drives in bulk packaging generally come in an anti-static envelope with a desiccant packet. The shipper typically adds additional packaging protection. The packaging is not an issue to me as long as it arrives undamaged since typically I install an item shortly after I receive it, although I left this drive in its shipping box for a year. In a bulk pack you may not get the decorated box or instructions you get in a retail pack; if you need them, pay extra for a retail pack.Jim MR RC-"Bulk packaging" means a simplified packaging that is something less than retail packaging.

Bulk Packaging is plain packaging with bubble wrap, no advertising photos. Universal Packaging, I would say is packaged for resale.

Sorry but I really don't know what the difference would be. Just the difference in packaging? Don't know.

Yes, it is new. Bulk packaging means it comes in a plain cardboard box without the graphic design (and the annoying plastic clamshell).

Contents packaged It means the contents of the package you purchase are packaged for retail sale individually, like you buy a box of 500 DVD and they are separated into 25 Pk sections that are packaged to sell alone as a retail package. It can also mean that the item is packaged for retail sale, like you buy a memory chip and instead of coming in a anti static package it comes in a plastic box with paper work, warranty and such (Retail Packaging) Sources: own In computer terminology "Retail Package" is a fully boxed item with full color retail markings & descriptions, and full documentation inside.. intended for a retail store to put on display on its shelves...As opposed to "OEM" or "white box", which is an unmarked generic box with the same product, may or may not have instructions inside, but geared towards computer system builders and technicians. In food stores, bulk items like candy, chips, etc may come in Bulk packaged cardboard boxes.. some of which are designed to be cut open and folded in such a way as to create a store display. Each item inside is marked for Individual Resale (have bar codes and nutritional information panel)...As opposed to Multi-packs with individual items marked "Not for Resale, Sold as part of a Multipack".. this means the little packs don't have full nutritional info panels and/or bar codes. So, Amazon's "Retail Package" should refer to the same thing...full color retail packaging with bar codes, nutritional info if applicable, along with full retail documentation and instructions inside.

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

I don't have mine still, but it was definitely retail packaging. Something inside to hold it in place and then a box around it all. Pretty nice, really.
