What's the difference between 'Bulk Packaging' and 'Universal Packaging'?

Just the packaging as I understand it... Less frills in the package = lower price

I believe the bulk packaging lacked the owners manual which you can get on line, and was not in the fancy packaging like you would expect to see in a store. Same product....

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

Bulk packaging is less expensive. The pieces are wrapped together and shipped. The items are new. When you go to att the item comes in an excessive plastic case that is not necessary. Its all show. Save the money and go bulk.

bulk means, it is NOT the fancy store display packaging, just a plain box, which makes for a lower price. All other things are equal between the two.

There is no difference, however, make sure its being shipped by Amazon and not a third party. Box should always be sealed. Dont accept it if its not. Hope that helps.

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

Frustration free packaging is literally just a box within a box which opens up. I think standard packaging has other papers Styrofoam etc. in it which is messier

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.

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

If memory serves, "Frustration-free" packaging is packaging that is easier to open. Sometimes, more than likely, frustration-free packaging will take longer to ship than standard packaging.

Hi Jenifer, I'm not sure what bulk packaging means other than the H730 came to me in simple, but adequate protected packaging. No fancy manufacturing packaging. The unit works really good. Long battery life and excellent audio. I also own the H720 and use it as a back up. The battery doesn't last as long. It works fine, but the H730 is a cut above. You won't be disappointed if you buy either one. I do suggest the H730, however.Dick Guilmette

Likely bulk shipping packaging. -5IMP is delivered on pallets-5DI is a 20' shipping container.-5PCB is probably more of the same.Shelves are likely identical.www.gorillarack.com/documents/GRZ6-4824-5IMP LR.pdf

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.

Standard packaging is the thick, secured plastic packaging you may find at a local store. It's the packaging you have to use some super scissors or a razor blade to cut through...and hopefully not slicing your finger. Hence, the frustration-free packaging which is a cheaper packaging. If you owned a store front, you may want to get the standard packaging to minimize people stealing your product...however, if you are like me who is just buying the product...it's a nice alternative that reduces your cost of the exact same product.

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.

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.

The bulk packaging, to the best of my knowledge and experience as a buyer is really transparent to you, the purchaser. The product you are inquiring about came as bulk packaging, but included all the necessities. Think of yourself as purchasing bulk product, inventorying product in a back room, as opposed to the plastic enshrined products that hang on a hook. Same product, different packaging. I might add that this is the BEST remote/Bluetooth earpiece I have used, bar none, including the expensive J _ _ _ bone product. It does not need to rest on cheek nor jawbone, does excellent noise cancelation, and has a long charge.

Bulk doesn't come in fancy clamshell packaging. Just put in a small plastic bag inside a non descript box. Price difference was more tha $10 less when I purchased the bulk so I went with that. Same product, just different packaging. Think of the equivalent of amazons frustration free packaging. Product works great

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".
