B&N Packing Nook Color
Hi I have a question for those that ordered their Nook Color from B&N. It might seem a weird question, how is the nook packaged. I dont mean the device in its box but the nook packaging in the box they send in. What do they use to pack around the device box?
The reason I ask is my Nook Color still hasnt cleared what I thought was Customs but apparently it is being held up by our Quarrantine service who would normally be interested in organic matter. The only thing I can think of that might make them hold it up is the packing material. I have to ring back at 9.45am as that is the 48 hours that they have then held it and I can make an enquiry on why it is held up. It is now 8.30am. Thanks for your help. |

It is just cardboard and plastic. There is nothing special about the packaging, except that it was done well enough that I am keeping the box as it is so pretty and reusable.

I am thinking of more what is in the box that the device box is in. Do they pack around the box with those packing beans, newspaper etc.

Didn't realize you are talking about the shipping box. I purchased mine direct from a store. Sorry. Last edited by SCION; 12-06-2010 at 05:05 PM. |

mine was wrapped in shrinkwrap with a cardboard (larger than the size of the nook box) for backing and then packed with those large bubble bags. Sort of like how amazon does.
