Lens Kit Q?

Has any one got the 16-35 f4 IS L kit from Adorama ... and if so, how was it packed. -- Includes a UA filter, lens cleaner, wrap etc.

I just got mine -- the lens was in its Canon box, and the rest of the 'stuff' was just laying in the box ... the lens was sorta wrapped in air-bags... When I've bought 'kits' in the past, it's always in a kit package, like each part has a slot in a pre-packed box, and then that box is wrapped in a shipping box.

Can any one comment on the kit packaging ... the one I received was more like how a refurb is packed, or a used lens. And, of course, this one is brand new ... I'm wondering if this got mixed up with a different order. Lens seems fine - but if I paid new, I want new ...

Also, they charged me the $1199 price on my card (part of a lens I traded got a credit that does not show anywhere), but my receipt shows misc charges that add up to a total of $930 ... not $1199 -- so anyone got a kit and had it packed like this, or packed like a kit.

Will call them Monday - but wanted to know what anyone else received as kit packing?
 
It's not a Canon kit, it's an Adorama 'bundle' – just some extra stuff thrown in by Adorama...in this case, literally. IIRC, they threw a lens cleaning kit in with my TS-E 17mm, unasked for (and not useful to me).
