    Aimpoint T1 Packaging

    Thanks to one of your Forum members, he was kind enough to inquire about the condition of the Aimpoint T1 he had just received. Here's what he said: "The product arrived in a padded envelope with the optic and accompanying materials in individual ziplock-type baggies. No Aimpoint box was included. In addition, I noted that the battery was already installed." I appreciated his concern and would have expected better packaging from a quality company like Aimpoint. I called Aimpoint and was told that they bulk-packaged a number of products in this way specifically for dealers that wanted to sell the sight with a particular mount (i.e. - LaRue, etc.).

    I checked our stock and found that we had 10 more of the same SKU packaged exactly the same way. In the past, the Aimpoint T1 has always come in a unique black box with a beveled corner and cut-out closed cell foam on the inside. The good news is that Aimpoint realized that this wasn't such a great idea, so 2015 will once again have nice packaging accompanying their products.

      I purchased a T-1 bulk pack a while back, and found no problems with the packaging, but unlike the end-user above, I was not expecting a box, and anyone who buys a bulk pack should have known that there was no box included.

        When I bought mine from larue I thought I'd get a box, but didn't. I also didn't complain either because its on a rifle not in the box. I guess if your thinking of resale then maybe, but if not its gotta be on a rifle! Its too damn nice to not be mounted on something!

          Having purchased from LT as well, I would gladly sacrifice a dust-collecting box for all the Larue swag. Last time, I got a LT Dillo beverage entry tool, LT Dillo dust, a LT hat, a LT battle mixer, and a few other items. Some useful, some nostalgic, and some humorous, but anything beats a box.

                          He's a spammer that hasn't been cleaned up by the mods yet. The random garbage nonsense spammers started putting the busted img links in their sigs instead of the posts themselves.
