Welcome to tPF. I use to always have to ask for a box or giftwrap service, but now My regular SA knows I always want a box.
Hey Sarah, the SA at the store pulled my purse out of a drawer behind her. It didnt come from the back room..that's okay right?
I bought my mono speedy at the LV in Holts in Toronto (on Bloor) and mine didn't come in a box, just in a dustbag.
Hey, when I purchased my Epi, ivory bowling bag it didn't even come from the drawer, it was on the shelf. I inspected it well, but it looked pristine. (No, I didn't get a box with that one either.)
But you know a box makes it harder to smuggle in the house without dh noticing. It is all a matter of what stock they have. I always laugh when I see the way the speedy;s are folded anyway. Maybe that is why they keep them in the drawers.
