Newegg didn't re-package anything, all three items were shipped in their RETAIL boxes, with shipping labels stuck on the outside. So, my wife already knows one of the items she's getting.

Some things I can see getting it that way, but this particular item was a Cannon DSLR zoom lens for her camera. Not exactly the kind of item you want just shipped loose.
It's funny you mention that. I hadn't though about but I think that most of the things that I've bought from NewEgg have been shipped in the retail boxes. I can understand that for the two 26" monitors that I received last week and a printer that I received last month, but I received a hard drive in the retail box. RAM was packaged separately.

Most of my shopping is from Amazon though so it's good they package everything -- as most of those are gifts now. My family would love to know what's in those boxes...
