I'm working on my new RGB build and my new MSI Z270 Gaming M7 came in from Amazon. When it arrived from Amazon, I did purchase it through a third party honored by Amazon, the box arrived with the MSI motherboard box inside. The motherboard box did not have any shrink wrap or security stickers attached to it. This surprised me as everything else I've ordered is well packaged. Is this normal packaging for a MSI motherboard? I called MSI and asked about this and talked to a person who had no clue as to what I was talking about.

    I bought one about a month ago. I don't remember any shrink wrap of safety stickers. Just a foldable box and an anti static bag I believe.

    Yeah, I also asked this question at linustechtips and the one reply I received mentioned that they are not designed to be on retail shelves so they don't need security features. It just seems odd to me.

    I just updated my account at MSI and registered my new board:) I also posted the same question about secure wrapping in MSI's Forum and was told by Nichrome aka Global Moderator that "Yes this is normal.".
