I've received them both ways -- I prefer to have the white box packed inside another box, as that FM packaging is not very thick. That said, I haven't received a damaged model..... yet. Or you can take the model (in its box) out of the white box and repack it in a heavier cardboard box for shipment... that's how they all pretty much have come from ebay and it seems safer than just the standard white outter FM box.
