Huh? Maybe the box was originally intended for something else.

The inner box. I had to do a search to learn what a VIXIA was (a camcorder, maybe one with a lithium ion battery).

At least there was an encouraging label.

Here's how Canon packaged the lens. Worth referencing if ever send one in for service?

Very nice plastic bag.

The expected sack. Not quite as nice as the 100-400 L II's case but more compact.

Could have been worse. I recently ordered a 16-35 f4 IS and a 24-70 f4 IS from adorama.

The box was wayyyy to big.

Crushed.

NO PACKING PEANUTS OR BUBBLE WRAP TO PROTECT THE LENSES.

Lens boxes open, warranty cards flung around in box.

Lens boxes damaged..

Never buying from them again.. but at least yours was packaged correctly!
