is this supposed to come in its original packaging (box or plastic)?

Mine came in a small box which included the installation instruction sheet. This in turn was in a large box with bubble wrap.

It should come in a Siemens box, it is not a heavy duty box but should have Siemens on it.

I also gave mine as a gift, but I believe it was plastic. It does come boxed.

No I believe mine came in a brown cardboard box with a lot of shredded paper around it to prevent breakage.

If I remember correctly, mine came that way to. Just find a box or plastic container to put it in.

I don't recall if it did or not. I do recall mine came 'boxed up' in retail packaging or something VERY similar.Not sure if this is helpful. Hope it is.

When I bought mine, it was not opened. It was sealed in the box with plastic.

Yes. It depends where you are ordering from but mine came in the original box.

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

Not sure, when I bought it, it was in original packaging. So unless they've changed their policy it should come that way.

I bought mine new so it came in the original packaging. Mine died in about a week, so i wouldn't recommend purchasing it. I would expect you to get it in the original packaging, if you do choose to get it.

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