E-mail the vendor & ask! They'll e-mail a reply, I'm sure.

In this case it looks as though the seller has bought up some OEM (Orignal Equiment Manufacturer/factory) remnant inventory that wasn't used on a production run. This means it will not be arriving to you in the pretty aftermarket box in which Shimano packages most of their components. They will instead arrive wrapped or packaged in a poly bag.

sometimes bagged parts have been removed off a new bike. AEbike's a good vendor and a real brick and mortar store too.
