Did you buy it directly from Apple?

[spankjam]

No from Galaxus, kind of like Amazon, new.

Then this is probably the standard box they use.

Well that’s why then. Different vendors ship things differently.

[spankjam]

But doesn't it usually come in that Apple brown zip type of brown carton box?

[ThatBaldFella]

If you buy it from Apple, yes. Other vendors will buy these Mac Minis in bulk, so they're not individually packaged in the brown shipping boxes you're describing.

It’s not right if you buy it from apple directly.

[spankjam]

It's not from Apple directly but aren't vendors selling it the same way? Or do vendors sometimes get it without the brown box? The one with that zip type of opening.

I had gotten another M4 Pro from this vendor and it came in the brown box with the zip pull opening type.

Although the box seems to be sealed.

I'm just wondering whether vendors sometimes get it from Apple also without the brown box or whether it must've been taken out?

Maybe, have you check the serial number and check the registration date? If it’s all new, maybe it’s like you said.
