The Post Office gives out free boxes. Why don't you just get them, it would be cheaper!
For those
of you who keep suggesting that I use the pre-printed, ink covered,
bleached fiber based free priority mail boxes from USPS; you are
missing the concept. I recycle. I prefer NOT to
create even more boxes.
Ok, I have checked out the usps website. I think I have it figured out.
While I may order and get free boxes with the USPS priority
logo, there ARE conditions and restrictions.
- Flat rate Envelope - $4.95
- Flat rate Box - $9.80
Flat rate envelopes are useless for most of what I sell. For two reasons, the first, is that its an envelope, and most things I sell wont fit in an envelope. The second reason is that these envelopes are pasteboard type cardboard, just like your cereal box; and primarily meant for documents.
Of the free boxes I can get, there are two types:- Flat Rate box - $9.80
- Standard Priority box - standard priority rates.
- Pri. flat rate 2 Day(s) $9.80
- Priority MailŪ 2 Day(s) $6.80
- Parcel Post 6 Day(s) $5.84
