The box is not included. I am not considering lowering the price. I had my boyfriend buy this for his place, but we broke up immediately and I took it back, so I've only used it once. I bought it around April or May of this year. I believe it's still within the warranty period. I will pack it carefully to avoid scratches and ship it using the cheapest method possible.
