Amazon's packaging procedures are downright schizophrenic. Large, heavy or expensive items get virtually no wrap or protection at all. Yet my cat's Whiskas treats arrive once a month with the manufacturer's original box completely surrounded by those big sheets of bubble wrap, and the whole thing encased in a *much* larger outer box. Fifteen bucks worth of kitty treats get treated like royalty, but fragile, expensive hard drives basically get booted out the door to fend for themselves. Weird.

When I bought it from Amazon about a year and half ago it had normal packaging. I've never seen this packaging. I would guess it is some sort of promotional packaging.

It's been a while (June) but I don't remember it being in a plain white box. I wouldn't like that either!! I'm pretty sure mine was regular packaging. Sounds like you may have gotten a dud... :(

Sorry, I don't know about that. I gave this as a gift and don't have any of the packaging. If it is not available on Amazon, I would try to contact the manufacturer.

I had the same experience as John P below. I did not have any problems with damaged boxes, but do not know the shipping company.

I'm sorry I did not see the packaging as it was shipped directly to my mother. I did not order as a gift and did not expect it to be "nicely" packaged. If you're concerned, I'd ship to yourself and put in a nice gift box before giving to someone. My experience with Amazon "gifts" is the note I write is on the shipping label and often the receiver didn't know it was from me. I usually follow up once I know it's been delivered to see if they liked it, and to let them know it was from me:)

Mine came in packaging that just said from Amazon. It did not divulge the contents based on the outside of the box.

Mine came the same as yours - no official packaging that I've ever seen. ;-) hope that helps!

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

I had no problem with packaging, but I live within 20 miles of the Amazon distrubution center in Middletown, De. I love the desk - found it to be well constructed & a good value.

They were just loose in the box, and the packages thrown in. They weren't damaged, but thought it was kind of weird coming from Amazon. They have good stuff. It said EL on the wrapper. Hope that helps.

I've checked and confirmed that you will received the item in Plastic bag and I assure you you will get the genuine product. However if you not received the item in Plastic bag or see any discrepancy please write back to us we will issue a refund or assist you accordingly "

Yes, it should arrive wrapped in the original packaging. Sounds like you got one that was returned??? Not acceptable.

I would contact Amazon customer service. They have always been good about answering questions about damaged items and making sure you are happy with your purchase.

Difficult to say whether or not Amazon does a good job packaging because my lens came from them through a third party supplier (actually local to me here in Phoenix) not directly from Amazon. The packaging was okay. The lens was in its own box, of course, and that was in a far larger box surrounded by those plastic air pouches. Also, as I recall, it was delivered by UPS. On the whole, a not unreasonable delivery and package. The lens was certainly in fine shape. But I do understand the concern - it's a sizable investment.

I don't know why that would be happening. I tried it myself, went to the item and added it to my cart, and the picture looks the same there as it did on the description page. You might want to contact Amazon customer service and ask them about it to make sure you get what you think you're ordering. Sorry I can't be of more help.
