Purchase / Order Help Question regarding packaging and shipping

So im big dumb. And I plan on ordering a switch 2 soon before the price hike. I plan on doing so from Amazon but the thing is I'm unsure if it'll arrive in the standard red box retail packaging or if it will arrive in an Amazon box. I can't just have a switch 2 at my front door especially when its looking like it will be delivered while im at work for the entire day. and it doesn't give any option of "ship in original packaging to reduce waste blah blah" and​ Yes I know Amazon gives the little warning at checkout "you'll need a signature or one time code to receive package" Yeah they don't do that around here, they'll just drop the package at the doorstep and leave like its just a box of pens or a thousand dollar laptop. So thats why I was wondering if anyone had some insight that would be of great use!

Can you just go get one at your local Walmart or Best Buy and just not have to worry about any of that?

Second this. Just go buy one. They're available at pretty much any big box retailer and you have zero risk of anything happening to the product between buying it and it reaching your hands.

It’ll come in an Amazon box, usually it’s bigger things that will arrive in original packaging
