For 10,000 run the jacks will come in trays which may come in boxes.
Expect 100's per outer carton so not too many cartons.
Putiing best face on it a distributor may have mixed similar
looking/names/located parts.
Or may have not had stock of all required and somebody helpfully
substituted an "identical" item.
Fraud or lack of knowledge or accident could all be explanations.

A few years back there was a major 'lead paint on toys' furore n the
US. Major waves among major sellers.
I subsequently visited the large (to me) factory complex where the
problem occurred. A Canadian consultant I was working with who had
significant involvement with the companies concerned (but no
involvement in the lead paint debacle) told me how it had happened as
he understood and believed it. If what he had been told as true, and
it may have been, it was one person being helpful and creative that
innocently caused the whole mess. Can happen.

I do not say WHY you have to be there - just that you must :-).
