At least in the US...many of us get a lot of our needed items from Amazon. 

I have found that when they say in fine print that item will be shipped in packaging that shows what it is... ie: the original box.  If you look carefully, there is a little checkoff box asking that item be overpacked in an Amazon box to conceal what is inside.

This option is valuable primarily because it gives you "box in a box" protection of the contents...and it cost nothing extra.

Hummm....i never knew that...but now I do 👍
Thanks for the tip Rog.

Good to know Rog, I recently bought a Dremel drill press stand off Amazon and it arrived with the shipping label on the original box that was smashed and opened up on the corners. Haven't had a chance to check and make sure it's all there, luckily Amazon is easy to deal with if you are a Prime member.
