I was looking to see if my new products shipped under CC, and saw on package. It said it contained the following:

2082 Pumpkin Shaped Dish
4452 18.5 x 12.5 x 5.5 Kraft Carton
CN53 Super Tote

What the heck is the Kraft Carton??
 
It looks like the type of carton that was used to pack your stuff in, maybe?

That's what I thought...but why would that be listed in the contents? weird...

It's not listed in any other order, so it just seems weird. :)
 
Probably something they put in the box to keep the dish stable.

My July fizzled, so no dish or tote for me, but that's OK! The tote looks like a diaper bag IMHO, and the dish would probably be given away in a basket like the heart dish was. But would have been nice to have a "diaper bag" to give away as a shower gift all the same!
 
It's the box.
Not unusual, all about how Oracle handles the inventory and how the kits are set up. The changeover cartons are not a commonly used box size on the line, so they have to be specified for the order in the system.

Sorry, was thinking of both...it's whenever a different box is used for the things we earn, samples, etc.

You'll see it with those off and on...
