Does anyone know how PB Tech packages Apple laptops for delivery?

I'm looking to buy a MacBook Air, and I was wondering if they put it in an outer plain box for delivery?

I've bought some large stuff with them in the past where they just stuck an address label on the manufacturer's box so you could see what it is without opening it. Is that what they do with a MacBook?

In my experience they don't even open the brown cardboard shipping box from Apple or the local distributor. So it should be the same as ordering direct from Apple.

When they shipped mine a couple months back (albeit I had extra items in the same order), The actual MacBook box (with branding) was inside the original distributor / Apples shipping box which was inside a standard brown box with my other items.

Thanks for the replies, that's exactly what I needed to know.

I've only purchased direct from Apple before, so it's good to know that the Apple shipping box is used as well.

For piece of mind, chuck in a small item such as a cable and they’ll no doubt use another box to put them all in the same box for shipping
