    Some items ship in their original packaging, and there’s no way to hide what it is. In most cases, this is noted on the item detail page and during checkout. If the item you wish to purchase can’t be left in a safe space or if you’re giving it as a gift and don’t want to ruin the surprise, here are a couple options:
    • Have the item sent to your workplace or to a relative’s house.
    • Choose order pickup or ship it to a store if available.
