No, it was 1 package. I received the wrong item. I contacted Amazon, and Oldawan Tools To Stay Sharp who was the seller for Amazon.
Bob from Oldawan was very helpful, and confirmed that something was obviously very wrong, and talked to Amazon as well. He couldn’t do a whole lot, so I talked to Amazon and am getting a refund for the cost of the PP1. So now I’ve got some strops, some ceramics, a weird paperstone base, and 2-3 days before I can order my PP1 again. Just a bummer because I was really looking forward to getting it. Now I have to wait again.
But as far as shipping in 2 boxes, no. It all shipped in 1 box, and that box literally contained the 2 little boxes with my stones and strops, and a paperstone base. Nothing else. Looks like I’ll just have to order it again.
