Is it okay to for a camera's box to be upside-down?

Hello,
I have a question that might be a silly one but prefer to ask the experts just to make sure.
Have bought a new Canon R6 MK III and brought it to my home in my car.
While taking it out, have noticed that I have put the box upside down (an opposite writing).
Is there any reason to suspect that this delivery might have damaged the camera (even slightly)?
Thanks a lot!

ADUV,

I doubt it. They're packaged pretty well.

No. You can leave the camera upside down as long as you want.

Who was the seller? Make sure the serial number on the camera body matches the serial number on the box.

A bit further, in my career watching how some full time pros handle their gear is heartbreaking or heart stopping. A simple ride home upside down is absolutely nothing..

Greetings ,

What country are you in? 

The camera should come with a warranty card for the country that it was intended for sale in.  The card should have an imprinted serial number that will match the number on the bottom of the camera.

Thanks a lot. My wondering was regarding the manufacturers package, if it is safe to deliver upside down (the camera can of course be used at any angle).

Thanks and best regards.
