It didn't, but I got the most weirdly wrapped parcel just now!

But credit where it's due, it was super wll wrapped and protected in there and works just fine:

But look at the yellowing!!! My original is on the left. Also arrived with a really neat vacuum formed keyboard cover.

So will open up later and see what it all looks like in there.
