Well my provari was shipped, in a brown cardboard box, and it was wrapped in bubble wrap. 
That would make for a great video review.The reason that there is no box is the same as the reason there is only a PDF manual and not a paper one. There is no reason to be wasteful and send someone a manual and box that are just going to get thrown away. It's just wasteful.
Much like some of the stuff from China, I could polish a turd and put it in a fancy box.....it's still a turd.
Chuckled to myself when the box arrived.
- Provari in bubble wrap
- Pila charger wrapped in its own, very fancy box like it was a gift from the heavens
I understand it is customary to name ones unit but i'm having difficulty determining its gender. I think it is harder to tell with a mini.
