It was not a fancy box that you'd see from ATT. Just a plain plastic bag. I don't need fancy, I need a good Bluetooth that's less expensive, they can keep the box !

The bulk indication is in regards to the packaging. The lack of retail packaging, not the quantity.

Retail is a genuine product meant for the retail market. Frustration free package is without the original packaging and meant for the dealer/rep/display/overstock market. Not supposed to be for sale, but can be sold

Not official retail package! Comes in a very deceptive plastic packaging that doesn't have any product or BlueAnt information on it. Buyer beware!

Everything you need is in the package. It is the package itself that is non-retail. The item arrives inside a box with an envelope and bubble wrap. I haven't purchased the exact item from a brick and mortar (retail), but I'm guessing is comes in one of those sealed,stiff plastic packages that is impossible to open without destroying the package.

Mine was original retail packaging. But there is usually a place for specific notes and requirements when you order.

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.

It comes with it own retail packaging box. In my case, the retail box was placed inside of a bigger cardboard box along with other purchased items to reduce the number of shipments. I hope this answers your question.

Sorry, I truly don't know as that is not an issue for us. I no longer have the packaging.

It just means it comes without any mounting screws, software, manuals, cables, etc. and is shipped in plain packaging. It's also something known as bulk packaging or OEM.

No idea. I didn't keep the packaging. Generally, if something is inexpensive, I just don't keep records on it.

Bulk packaging means that many of these were packaged together in one larger container for shipping to a reseller or large commercial buyer. It'll be packaged in a simple box or something. A retail packaged product will be just like you would get one in a store -- in a plastic clamshell package with a bunch of marketing/product info all over it. Retail packaged means it'll cost more for the privilege of more difficulty getting to your product.Save your money and buy this one.

I think it's just a different type of packaging specific to Amazon (and maybe other online sellers). They do that to cut down on unnecessary bulk and to eliminate things like blister packs and other antitheft measures.

I just got mine and retail packaging is the same packaging that you would get if you bought it off the shelf. It was not opened in any way. Sometimes you'll see the term bulk packaging. That means it was taken out of the original box and it's shipped loose, usually in a little clear plastic bag. It may or may not be used. My guess is that someone bought it, tried it and returned it.

I think the difference is just packaging. This product has no box, instead just plastic zip.

I think bulk packaging means more than one item per package. Usually a less expensive way to ship.

buy bulk or universal packaging. It's cheap for the same product as retail, just without the expensive and pretty packaging.
