==Explanation==
<div style="padding: 0.5em">
Sometimes items are sold in simple containers that require you to "open" them up to get the contents. If you purchase clothing that comes in a box, you will have to extract the clothing objects from the box container and put them into your inventory before wearing them.

== How to open a box ==
<div style="padding: 0.5em">
[[Image:Open-box.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Click to enlarge]]
To unpack the box, you need to
#Open your [[inventory]] (CTRL-I)
#Drag and drop the box to the ground
#Right click on it
#Choose '''Open''' from the pie menu
#A window will open (it may take a minute or two if the box has a long list of items in it) and you can either
##Click on ''Copy To Inventory''' in order to store a copy of the objects in your inventory, or
##Click on ''Copy And Wear'' in order to store a copy of the objects in your inventory ''and'' wear them right away, or
##Drag and drop items from the window into your inventory.
 
Once you've copied the items, you can find them in your inventory. They will be in a folder which got the same name as the box you just unpacked. Check your ''Recent Items'' tab if you don't see it right away.

*You will need to be on a [[parcel]] where ''building'' is allowed. It is allowed unless the no-build icon[[Image:Status_no_build.png]]is shown on top of your Second Life window. (In some cases, if you are a member of the group that owns the land, activating your group title will permit you to build despite the no-build icon.)
