Reusing USPS Priority boxes

[Satchmo]

When I first started shipping out sticks, I got my free boxes from USPS. As I got boxes in, I couldn't wait and ripped the tab open to get at my prize. Lately, I've been opening the ends of the boxes carefully and getting at the goodies. Then, all I need to do is load it up and fold the end back in. Cover with a piece of tape and I'm good to go!!

Not a tree hugger, but try to help out where I can. Take it for what you will. I have not needed to order boxes from USPS in over a year. Helps me justify my courtesy flushes, measuring TP in feet instead of squares, and my V-6 engine

That concludes this local service announment.

I agree completely. No tree hugger but, this is so simple, takes no effort and can make a difference.

Actually, USPS will send you boxes for free. Maybe indirectly we can keep the cost if USPS Priority down !!!

The wife wants to know why I have a shelf of boxes, totes of packing peanuts and bubble wrap in the basement.... Easy. It's my shipping department

They are biodegradable, unlike the diapers my kid produces. Hmm maybe I can use the boxes on my kid, I have a stack of USPS boxes in the attic. Seriously though, I did sell on ebay for awhile and you can reuse the hell out of them.

LOL, I have a corner in my basement with the same stuff.

As you may have noticed Satchmo, I also reuse my USPS boxes.

I feel the guilt now. I will have to fish the one out of my trash that went in last night.

No worries, if it is bad shape, I'll burn it to heat my house instead of shipping sticks in it.

Alex, FYI. You may realize that the eating fast food and needing to flush 3-4 times are directly proportional to each other

You bet. The kids craps himself. Just pull the tab and the box falls off. Hit 'em with hose and box 'em up again (Please do not reuse those boxes...)

The only draw back would be keeping the kids away from the mail box when USPS is driving by. You would want junior sent out Priority mail!!
