The packaging was good from outside, but the seller had filled the box with waste paper, old magazine and old cardboard as reinforcement to the lens package. This is still fine.
Coming to the actual lens package, the top seal was NOT broken, but the bottom seal was broken and seems like the package was open from the bottom.
I still went ahead and opened the lens just to see the lens cap was open both front and back and the cap was loosely fallen within the bubble rap. (See the attached images)
And on the part where the luns gets attached to the camera, I see some dirt and grease on it.
All the says the packing was hampered and was repacked after use.
I did a basic test with the lens and did not find and functionality issues, will be testing it more and updating my comment

Nikon 200 - 500 mm Lens for Camera
Overview:
- FX-format compatible, 2.5x super-telephoto 200-500 mm zoom lens with a fixed maximum aperture of f/5.6.
- VR performance immediately after the power is turned on in normal mode has been improved, providing a more stable viewfinder image and enhanced blur-reduction effect on the resulting images.
- Even during high-speed continuous shooting, stable AE control is achieved with the adoption of an electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism.
- ED glass elements are employed to achieve high optical performance with minimal chromatic aberration.
- Vibration Reduction (VR) system with an effect equivalent to a shutter speed 4.5 stops* faster in NORMAL mode.
- Sport mode, especially effective when shooting sports, for example, in which subjects are radically moving, is adopted as a VR mode option.
- The screw-on type 95 mm Neutral Colour NC Filter and 95 mm Circular Polarizing Filter II are optionally available.

The aperture ring is slightly damaged. The produvt is quite old also. It is imported on August 2018 which is 3.5 years ago. The box is slightly damaged as well. Overall quite a bad buying experience.

I think this is a must go for lens for all those who are into wildlife photography.
Pros:
1. The enormous focal length at almost an affordable range. (EMI Options are available). Particularly when you have an APS-C sensor camera.
2. AF is quick and responsive.
Cons:
1. Very heavy and one can participate in body building after continued usage. Tripod recommended.
2. The focus ring takes a complete 180 round from 200 to 500, which is slightly annoying.
Amazon's Service: Excellent delivery. Got it the next day.

After using 3rd party lenses for a long time, I made the decision to switch over to this lens. And boy, ain't I glad I made the switch? There is a vast difference in the image quality.The f 5.6 is a just apt for making beautiful images at a long end 500 mm. This is a perfect lens for birding and wildlife. The AF works fast enough to capture swift movements of a bird in flight. At long end (500 mm), it renders a sharp focus and lovely bokeh to create beautiful images of seemingly tiny birds.
In all, a must buy for enthusiasts (provided you use a Nikon body)!!!
