I would imagine everything will come in boxes, would not be very smart to have everything loose. Even if they come loose the retailer should have the packaging boxes lying around somewhere. I would doubt most people would know what was in those boxes with the excepetion of the bulb

I wouldnt go crazy over digiballasts reefer. Theres a reason why digiballasts have such poor warrenties. Chances are that a digi ballast may fail within 1-3 years. I've heard about many problems with digiballasts and its longevity in the past.

If i were you i'd stick to magnetic ballasts. A maggy ballast can last over 10 years without any problems. If there is a problem, then chances are its the capacitor, which is easy to replace.

Theres another store i want you to check out, and thats High Tech Garden supply. They sell cheap magnetic grow lights:

I wired my 400w ballast yesterday from htg supply. Bought the 400w ballast kit and a plug wire from them. Got the 400w bulb from e-conolight.com.

This was flowered with CFL's to day 26. Day 27 is now 400w HPS
