Yes. Typically it comes in "stealth" packaging to prevent it being detected en route. If it wasn't for tor being so slow it would be basically the same flow as ordering something off amazon

(or so I'm told)

There's a bit of added friction on the Bitcoin end as well, don't forget.
Basically yes - they are sent through the post.
