My guess is some kind of request to Amazon customer service will do it, but don't have first-hand knowledge that that will work.

If the item is provided to Amazon in it's own shipping-worthy box wouldn't Amazon just ship it as-is? Boxing it again only adds labor[1] and material costs.

Granted, that would only work if you only bought one item. If you bought multiple items they would have to be packaged together in another Amazon-branded box.

Generally items aren't sent that way, or the box has markings on the outside. Anyway the dropshipper couldn't know this for sure.
