All shipments from Apple that I have seen here in the US always use a plain brown outer cardboard box. Not even a logo or company name on it. Most shipping companies allow for pickup at the depot. Usually you have to wait for one delivery attempt, and then they leave instructions on when and where you can pick it up.
