I received my replacement 5D3 from Amazon and am a bit concerned. The lens box has a blue dot on it, and things are packed a little bit differently (the warranty card for the lens is not in the box with the lens).

Sounds like you may have gotten a used or open box from Amazon. I not sure about the blue dot, but I do know you should have gotten a warranty card for your lens.

Yep, sounds like the box has been opened. Was the replacement camera supposed to be new? Can you run a shutter-count on the body to see if it's been used?
Sometimes if an item is non-repairable the replacement will be refurbished rather than new. Garmin recently did this when my GPS broke. The replacement unit was described as refurbished but looked like new (much better external condition than the beat-up one I sent into them). I was happy.

I don't see any blue dot on new 5dIII box.
Has warranty card too.
I would think if you returned your camera for the focus issue, they should be giving you a new one, not refurb/repaired.
No, I got the first kit from Amazon and it had no blue dot. The second replacement kit from Amazon had a blue dot. Weird. I called Amazon and they said it was from the manufacturer, not something they had added to the item. I boxed up the blue dot lens and sent it back with the camera that was defective (right side AF cross points were horribly out of calibration).

Did I receive a used camera kit from Amazon??
Anyone know what the blue dot is about ?? ??
My Camera had a blue dot on the box.
The lens warranty and camera warranty should be together in the box, the lens warranty will not be in the lens box.
