I got two 5 packs from last week. CBid shipped them in a small post office box. The kind you have to use that pull tab thingie to open? and it ruins the box? BUT! They didn't seal it with the on-board glue strip! They taped it :-) so I can re-use the box for shipping to someone else. I'm sure it took them a bit longer to do it this way, but it was a nice thought on their part to provide a reusable box.

Even when they're glued I reuse them. I just tape over it. X

Rick may have beat me to it ... but I gave you the exact links ... LOL!

And no ... you don't have to give a business name, and yes, you do have to register, so they have your address ...

I have bundles of 25, in all the best sizes for sending cigars and the like ... ;^)

Guys, YOU ROCK!!
Man, I've been paying for boxes.
I constantly have to ship business items and had no clue that was available.
I was able to get all the sizes I needed for FREE!

Thanks, you guys saved me some time and a little bit of dollars.

Also, did you know that if you print your address label online ...

... that they give you the 'Delivery Confirmation' for free?

Q. Why isn't there an additional fee for Delivery Confirmation when I print a Priority Mail online label?

A. When you print an online label, an electronic record of your transaction is sent to the United States Postal Service. This meets the requirements for electronic option Delivery Confirmation service; no additional fees are required when used with Priority Mail.

Q. What if the retail employee tries to charge Delivery Confirmation fees for my online label?

A. Since the online label is a new feature, some USPS employees may not yet be familiar with it. Point out the "e/" endorsement on your label next to the Delivery Confirmation text. This indicates that this item is an electronic option Delivery Confirmation mailpiece. The retail associate should refer to the July 26, 2001 Postal Bulletin for further information. Regular Priority Mail postage rates apply.

Also, If you don't want to keep a bundle of boxes at your house they are also free at any US post office.
