Aliexpress packaging

Very tempted to get some stuff from aliexpress. What’s the packaging like from them? Is it discreet? I only ask as I have most things delivered to my work address, ( so I can sneak them in when the wife is out ), and they are signed for by someone else where I work. 

Don’t want any awkward questions being asked that could jeopardise my job.

You can ask them to write and/or declare whatever you want. The packaging is very usual with no pink frills.

That’s good to know! Bad for my bank account though!
they have always been generic brown boxes of padded envelopes when ive had stuff from China
the description is normally something pretty generic like "clothing" or "belt"

dont worry no problems!
Nothing worse than having something most would consider abnormal rocking up at your desk....

When I ordered my chinese timer padlocks from amazon, they weren't prime so they came all the way from china in chinese packaging.  They actually had "bondage padlocks" printed on the outside of the packaging along with a lot of chinese words.  I was slightly mortified when I saw that but I'm friends with my mail carrier so not too worried what he thought.... if he even noticed.

I suppose my point is that whomever ships you your goods may not be aware whether or not your packaging is discreet if there are english words on the exterior of the packaging so I would be careful shipping stuff to work if I were you.

Up until now o have used amazon and eBay for everything. I have always messaged the seller before hand and asked if it will be sent in discreet packaging and save the email response. Been safe so far. Was worrying when a package was handed to my boss by mistake and I knew it contained an inflatable plug and gag. That could have been an interesting meeting/explanation.

.. or a well-sized dildo, that can be recognized from the outside 😋

Ha ha ha! Thankfully not! It would have caused a lot of unnecessary conversations! Why are other people and employers so narrow minded!?

Are they???  Or do you just assume they all are?  I thought about this answer for a while and ended up writing a decently sized post to give my thoughts a creative outlet.
