    Just a warning really, half the goods we’ve ordered from Amazon this year have no packaging to cover the contents. Toys just sent out in its own box with a bunch of labels stuck on.

    We got away with first item but eldest girl was here yesterday when courier arrived and saw her Christmas gift :(

    So watch out folks, Santa gifts may not be discrete.


    Here are goods fulfilled and shipped from Amazon.co.uk

    Amazon do this with certain items for some reason. I had a computer monitor delivered once the same way.

    When paying for items it usually mentions this somewhere but can be easily missed.
    Check if there is an option at checkout "deliver in Amazon packaging" or something like that. If there is such an option and you don't select it then they simply send the item out in its own packaging with the labels stuck on to it.

    Large items usually go in their own packaging

    It's part of Amazon trying to be (vaugely) environmentally responsible. They're coming under increasing pressure to reduce their excessive packaging.
