What does "Bulk Packaging" mean?

It means that it doesn't come in the plastic type of packages see in the store just comes in a plain cardboard box

It is not a retail package...meaning it isn't in the normal plastic clamshell style container. It is a plain cardboard box not meant for retail displays like you'd find in a store. But it includes everything the retail packaged version would.

The packaging is a ziplock baggie. There is no label or spec sheet. There is a piece of styrofoam inside the case to help the case maintain its form. I inquired with the seller who I believe is the manufacturer about the lack of original packaging and they said that the ziplock bag IS the original packaging. I could easily see them buying these in bulk from a factory in China and then sticking them in individual baggies to ship. I guess if you look at the price it explains things...it would be difficult to make a profit and proffesionally package for individual sale at the price that these are selling for.....

Bulk packaging means that the package will not be decorated, anti-theft, the minimum necessary to ship the product, etc. Retail packaging is decorated "in-store" packaging, the way you would see it in a store. Frustration free packaging features items in recycled boxes that are easy to open unlike hard plastic clamshell castings, wire ties, etc.

No, it's Bulk packaging which comes in a zip - lock bag. I can assure you makes no difference whatsoever to the actual item

My sets came in the straight packing box with dividers instead of the fancy box in the packing box.Kind like bulk buying. I think that is what it means "frustration-free" packaging.

Retail has everything in one bubble pack. Bulk, just has everything in zip top bags in a small cardboard box.

Most "bulk" packaged electronics are not legit. If you're buying a supposed new apple, motorola, belkin, etc. product its probably a ghost run (employee will run additional product using leftover or rejected materials to make additional product to sell on the gray market), reject, or knockoff. Especially memory cards! If the deal sounds to good to be true, it probably is.

I suspect that bulk packaging means it comes in a plain box, rather than a Canon-branded retail box...it is likely the lens is a kit lens (a lens intended to be sold in the same box with a camera body) that has been removed from the kit and is being sold separately.

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's been a while but I think it just means non retail packaging. The card came with a CD containing all relevant software.

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.

It means that it does not come in the fancy retail clear plastic case targeted for retail shelves. It's still new, and comes with all the same components. It comes in a box without fancy printing, just not a "collector's case" that you'd probably throw away shortly after you get it.

Hi,Bulk packaging means that you receive the original new items in plastic bags well wrapped instead of standard carton that you see in the show room,My openion this is very practical and economical way to reduce the cost, especially if it is not a prize.Hope this would help

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.

The one I bought from Amazon was retail packing in the original box. Bulk packing does not always mean the item is coming in its original packaging. Make sure uou are able to return it for a refund if you have issues.

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

Bulk packaging means it is not shipped in the retail box. It could have been pulled from a bulk container of numerous pieces and redistributed in individual bags. The headset I received was sealed in a cellophane bag.It did not come with extra ear buds or charger. It can be charged with any standard mini usb cord typically used to charge a cell phone.
