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.

I ordered mine from Amazon.com (not a third party seller). Mine came in a box. The drive itself was in a static shielded bag, but it was secured in plastic retainers. It looked like this: http://www.thinkcomputers.org/reviews/wd_caviarblack_1tb/1.jpg

Mine came in a cardboard box, original HGST packaging. Very well protected.

Sorry, I did not see the packing. I live overseas. This was sent to a friend and he carried it over to me.

My one came in factory laminated red/white box. Items were organized inside the box. As I remember the box was sealed.

It came inside a box sleeve, mine came all wrapped in bubble wrap, it arrived safely and not broken.

i would probably use a box.. it's not the envelope that will be the problem necessarily, but the way the postal people handle it, it is sure to get broken :(

yes it is really well packed withing the box itself and the shipping box itself had a lot of cushion material inside.

it came in an envelope. in the envelope was a plastic bag (like from a stock room) and inside that clear bag was 5 packages individually labeled ect like you would find on a store hook. so if you are buying them to sell or give as a gift, yes its packaged professionally.

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:)

Yes the item is new! Bulk packaging just means they bought a lot of these items and the packaging doesn't come as it would if you bought it in a store package. BUT the packaging is just fine and everything was included and as advertised.

It comes in a padded plastic envelope, enough to protect it in shipping but it's not in a box. I don't remember if it was in a hard plastic package. The mailman was able to stuff the mailing envelope in the small slot on my mailbox.

I've had it delivered a couple of times with other items. Packaged in a cardboard box. No issues whatsoever - it came perfect.

Oh yes the box was inside a larger box and well protected. Not even the smallest mark on either. UPS seem to be pretty good as it was ridiculous fast delivery as well.

Mine came packed in the box you would find on the store shelf, then overpacked in standard amazon corrugated cardboard with air bag protection around it. No Damage in transit for me.

It wasn't in a box, well not one that was for the product, but it was packaged well in the shipping box. No problems with it.

It was in a very well constructed box. I can't speak as to how it would hold up in an international shipment, as I ordered it in the US, but as I recall it was packaged very well.
