I have ordered from them before and there was always a padded envelope.

I would definitely call or e-mail and ask what the issue was and if this is what one can expect going forward. I would not be pleased.

FWIW my order just arrived - multiple DVDs in a padded envelope.

I had previously ordered from her site. One of the two dvds I ordered was the wrong one, and when they sent me the correct dvd, they did it sans envelope...same as OP. It did arrive without any problems, but I was not pleased, either.

I haven't had a dvd arrive like that!

it does seem to be a trend with sellers and shippers, though

a box fan arrived with a shipping label just slapped on the box. At least they reinforced the tape keeping the box closed.

uh oh
I, um, ordered something from an, um, adult site. I REALLY REALLY hope they don't just stick a label on it

oh boy

LOL!

'Intense Moves' indeed! Ha Ha! Thanks for the laugh!

eta: I don't know if you were seriously worried about such an order, but I think any adult-oriented business that wants to remain in business would ship in discrete packaging.
