Vario packaging ???

I purchased 2 Varios on eBay and returned them both because of different issues.
I suspect they were refurbished because they came in brown boxes with no markings or fancy packaging. No instructions.
New grinders - do they come with identifying packaging etc? My local shop has 2 Settes and they come with very nice packaging that you'd expect from a new product...boxes with photos, logos etc.
thanks

Don't know about ebay but Baratza sometimes has refurbished grinders at a discount -- new ones are available through all the major dealers.

True
I am asking what the packaging looks like for new.

Nice. Thank you
Only brown cardboard. One had 3 different inspection stickers with 3 different years.

Last I saw the retail packaging is a semigloss white outer box with a drawing of the grinder and the word "Vario" nice and large. It's like the Sette box you saw in that it is designed to look reasonably nice on a retail shelf. Then there's an inner two-part plain cardboard box, and another two plain cardboard boxes inside that. One contains the main grinder body, the other contains the hopper and accessories.
If it helps, Baratza maintains a list of authorized AND unauthorized sellers on their site:
Authorized - https://baratza.com/where-to-buy/online-resellers/
Unauthorized (presumably only a sample of what's actually out there) - https://baratza.com/where-to-buy/online ... resellers/

For reference here's the package mine came in. Brought from an authorised reseller. It's the W version and 220v. There was a shipper's outer box that was plain brown and the attached picture is the inner box.My Alien Life wrote:I purchased 2 Varios on eBay and returned them both because of different issues.
