I've seen a USPS counter worker totally go off on some lady and refused to take an inside-out Priority Mail box. That was a few years ago. I think they now mark the insides with an inked "For Priority Mail only" or something like that.Originally posted by: TreyRandom
It's a great service. But be aware that you can't turn them inside out and use them for Media Mail or Parcel Post shipping - the USPS is checking for misuse of their boxes. From what I hear, they're now stamping Priority Mail on the inside of the boxes.
I've seen a FedEx counter worker refuse the box... as (I feel) they should.Originally posted by: motodude
Will UPS accept these boxes>?

yea, once you place an order you will get a postcard in the mail that you have to sign and return to USPS. Basicaly it states that boxes provided are only for use with USPS Priority Mail and any other use is a violation of Federal Law (aka, a felony).
Free boxes are great if you ship Priority alot, ebay and the like.

I dont know why anyone would want to use USPS boxes for Fedex/UPS, or UPS boxes for USPS/Fedex, or Fedex boxes for USPS/UPS... they ALL give away free boxes. Granted the ground services dont, but in that case, just USE usps, they have free pickups and they are really cheap for stuff under 5 pounds.
Just my 2 cents
