Shipping Question

Hogie1418

I have a toploader that needs to be shipped out but I have no more boxes laying around the house and I dont feel like spending money on a box. My question is whether or not it is ok to ship in a shoe box? Its one of those nice shoeboxes where the flap is connected so it is very sturdy. I just didnt know if USPS had a problem with this... Thanks guys!!

You can ship in about anything, that will be fine. I used to ship in popcorn and pop tart boxes all the time, lol.

If you ship Priority you can get free boxes.

With a lot of the larger priority boxes you can just cut the weld with a razor knife and turn it inside out. Tape it thoroughly, make um strong like bear. But the PO won't know the difference. Whenever someone buys my ready-to-go-NES-toasters and pays parcel post I just flip the flat rate 'cube' inside out and it's good to go.

And yes, technically it's fraud. Misuse of postal property. But they're getting my money anyways

My PO won't let me do that, I have tried. I either have to go back home or sent it priority To smart for there own good.

I've got the flat rate priority boxes too.  I pull them apart at the seem and turn 'em inside out.  However, last time I went in the PO, she asked me "are these priority boxes, inside out?"  She said there gonna start charging me for priority.  I told her that someone mailed me something in a priority box and I re-used it.  If the box was paid for, originally, I think I have the right to do whatever I want with it.  I shouldn't have to use it priority, it was paid for at one time.

I just go to a local store and ask for spare boxes.
