It was an Amazon sale, not a third party. I’m sure of that because I’m a prime member, and the purchase qualified for prime free delivery. I normally go to B&H for photo equipment, but they were closed for a holiday when I spotted the price reduction. I like Amazon and buy a lot of things from them. I think this was some kind of experiment in using the manufacturer’s boxes. Paul
