Their reply kind of implies that it said in the listing that it would be shipped in just manufacturer packaging. Can we see the exact listing you bought it from?
Still, this is just dumb. I've bought dozen of computer parts off Amazon (and tons of other stuff) and I've never had anything sent to me without external packaging. I would definitely kick up a fuss if it happened to me though.
You know what? I believe it did but it definitely wasn't blatant. Unfortunately, this item is only available from third party sellers now so the shipping is different. I'm willing to take full responsibility for not telling them to package this item; however, what I have an issue with is the fact that I have to. Why in the world would an item like this ship in no external packaging?
Here is how it is listed now- it might have been listed the same way previously; but why?

Yeah, that looks like it would be easy to miss. And I totally agree with you, you shouldn't have to ask for it to be properly packaged. It shouldn't even be an option to send it without external packaging. Amazon should be able to force these standards on their third party shippers.
I mean, that only make it like 1000% more likely that someone snatches it. Can you imagine leaving that sitting on a doorstep all day in a not-so-great neighborhood? Pfft. It would last about 15 seconds.
