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). .

Not true in my experience. I've placed four orders for boxes from the USPS in the past year, never had to sign anything.
My mailman rang my doorbell just the other day with two cartons of boxes for me in hand.

anyone knows how to get free boxes or envelopes for media mail from USPS? I used an envelope to ship a book and the envelope alone cost 2 bucks.

I've used these to ship parcel post, just tape over the priority part with brown tape and you are ok.

sweet deal, got 50. This will make moving back home from school a million times easier
if you what moving boxes, get a free ups account and get some of their 25 and 10kg boxes. I ordered 20 sets, meaning 40 boxes and my entire living room was FULL of them, it made moving so easy, but then again, i was moving an entire house, lol, not just a college dorm
I had a box I was going to ship back media mail, because that was the return label the website printed for me. I used the priority box it came in, the worker said to wrap it in brown paper and they'd take it. It can't even look like a priority mail box if you're using any other service, because it might accidently get sorted into the priority mail pile, getting there faster at a lower rate.You can certainly do that, but don't be surprised when they tell you to pay Priority Mail rates. They've seen every trick in the book - brown tape, black magic marker, brown paper wrapping, inside-out boxes, labels covering the box...
