    I am just wondering if I CTO a vaio, what it will be like when it arrives...
    cuz most of the time I am not home and maybe my friends will receive the big box for me. Will there be a invoice or receipt stapled on the big box so everyone will see how much i paid for the stuff?
    I am just asking cuz i dont want them to receive and see how expensive it is :( Is there a privacy protection policy about this?
    Thanks!

    Unless you live in an apartment building or dorm(where someone else nearby can sign for it), they require a signature, so no one will be able to sign for it but you. The box does say its from sonystyle on the outside of it, but only on the address location, inside, there is an invoice and real the laptop box(that says vaio in huge letters). You can call fedex and they will tell you exactly where they left it and who signed for it, especially if its marked as delivered and you have not recieved it...

    Mine arrived in an ugly looking big brown box with only the shipping label attached. Judging from the box, you wouldn't even want to steal it.

    Well, a lot of the time, FedEx/UPS will let any adult living in the residence sign for it. I've signed for stuff delivered to my dad and my mom has signed for stuff delivered for me before. Is there any way you can arrange to be at home to pick it up? UPS/Fedex is usually pretty good about updating the tracking process.
