Stealth packaging - how vendors protect your order
Yeah, the cardboard sandwich is what I’ve mostly seen too. It’s always reassuring when the stealth was on point, especially if your package hits a major hub. I’ve had one get stuck in ISC for a few days and that’s when you really hope the packaging holds up. For me, it landed in like 8 days once scanning started, so as long as you get that tracking number update quick, you’re probably fine. It’s just part of the waiting game.
Yeah, the cardboard sandwich is definitely the gold standard. Makes me feel a lot better knowing the stealth was on point when it's just sitting at the transit hub processing. I usually spring for the express shipping option just to minimize time in the system—less chance of anyone getting nosy.

The better vendors absolutely put significant effort into packaging, but it goes way beyond just a cardboard sandwich or a product card. The packaging has evolved over the years, and from various orders I've seen, there are a few key layers that separate a high-quality stealth job from something that might get flagged.
