people who do a lot of ordering online - question!

hi!

you know when you order something from mothercare or somewhere, does it get delivered in a box saying "mothercare" or like with a letter from them? or is it just a plain bag/box that could be from anyone??

sorry this may seem random but there is a reason i need to know! lol

thanks

It depends on the shop.
Best to ring and ask

i brought an engraved keyring from there.
it came in a plain cardboard box, with a return address for an industrial site in Stoke. im assuming this was the address it was sent to to be engraved before forwarded on.

hmm this is a few yr ago , but when i bought joshs pram it came from mothercare & if i remember rightly it didn't have any company logos on. Just a big white box with the item picture on the side & an item number x

It totally depends on the shop you are buying from and it also depends on the items. have had shops send plain and marked boxes but they do all put an invoice in a document holder or inside the parcel. That seems to be standard procedure for most companies. As they normally sign this when ts packed and checked.

I've had parcels from boots in plain boxes, plin ones from adams. Kiddicare boxes are plain but the tape fastening them shut has the company name on them. Mamas and papas boxes are printed up with name and french sayings.

So in answer yes and no

if i remember right when i ordered a raincover from mothercare it got delivered in a bag saying mothercare on it

Because mothercare use a lot of dropshippers, most products ordered from one of their drop ship suppliers would arrive in plain packaging as the suppliers are not allowed to advertise theirselves.
