Question How discrete are the shipping boxes?

Hi y'all, I have a 13 Pro on order - it's still a few batches away but I just want to know how discrete the box they ship it in is

Does it carry any sort of branding or labels that could make it easily identifiable?

Thanks in advance

The box mine arrived in only had a "FRAGILE" label on the outside, no framework insignia or indications of what was inside.

Edit to add: If porch pirates or other kinds of thieves are a concern, then a plain box versus a logo or indicator of contents is unlikely to make a difference. Big box shows up at your door. Sketchy people are likely to make an assumption that they want to take whatever it is and find out what it's worth later.

Nah it's not porch pirates.

It's just that I'm getting it for someone and I don't want them finding out too soon :)

Got it. Mine arrived via FedEx. If you want, you can maybe log in on their site and arrange to have it redirected to your work or held at a depot near where you live. That way, you can pick it up or stash it from the recipient.

fair point, most package theft is just grabbing whatever shows up

The box itself doesn't have branding, there is a sticker with the Framework logo but it's relatively small. The big tell that it's a laptop is the big UN 3481 battery warning printed onto the box but people who don't see laptop boxes regularly may not take note of that.

Mine had a sticker slapped on the outside that described what was in the box: “Framework 13 Pro Intel Ultra Series 3 Ultra X7 358H 32GB”. Luckily it only sat outside my gate for a few hours lol

Very. Plain cardboard box with a fragile sticker and a stock item sticker with some small text on it.

No Framework logos or anything that shouts "Here's a laptop, steal me!".
