Paul -
I looked at the listing for the 70-200 on Amazon and noticed that it
says "*Packaging may reveal contents.*Choose*Conceal Package*at checkout."
I googled that phrase and found this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/boardgames/comments/56jeqt/psa_make_sure_to_request_a_box_when_ordering_from/
Maybe it was not the listing you clicked on - there was another form
focus camera - but maybe its flagged in their shipping instruction
database as not needing any additional packaging.
Good luck....

Some may recall that I received a $1600 70-200/2.8 lens form Amazon last week
that was delivered in the Pentax box with a label stuck on it. I checked the
autofocus fine tuning and found it way out of range. I called Amazon and told
them it was defective, and that they can’t ship lenses without packaging. They
apologized profusely and send a second lens by overnight delivery. The UPS guy
arrived with the replacement 70-200 about an hour ago. I met him at the door,
rather than having my son handle it. I was shocked to see that once again, the
lens was not boxed! I refused delivery. Called Amazon and told them to see if
they could figure out how to put lens number three in a box. They will deliver
another one tomorrow. We will see.
