Neverfull storage box?!?!

I got my Neverfull Gm and the SA told me she thought there wouldn't be a box to fit in into except for the one they have to assemble, but then she found a big hard one that fitted the GM perfectly (when folded) so yes, mine came in a box with the leather string, in the felt wraped in tissue paper with a big LV sticker. And the SA was kind enough to include two new men's catalogue AND a small felt to fit the catalogues! Talk about being generous!
 
Purchased the Neverfull GM and no box (that would a HUGE box, lol). Thinking about this; I have NEVER received a box for ANY LV bag purchased AT the store. However, when having them shipped to me from the store, they are ALWAYS in a box.

I don't use the boxes as they are so big, but it is interesting how/when they choose to give you a box.
