I often buy things from Ebay and here. Most everyone has shipped the items in a cardboard box or envelope. Not long ago, I ordered an item from ebay and it came in a used puzzle box. The item arrived in good condition and so was the box. LOL!!

Have you ever sent/received an item in different/odd packaging?

We have had some really funny things happen at Christmas time when someone put something in a box that was not labeled as the item inside. The person thought they were getting something completely different than what they got, LOL.

About 5 years ago I bought something that came to me in a plastic jar!! It was hilarious!!! :D:D
Nothing wrong with it though, actually quite creative !!

yes the long tubes for mailing (when I worked in Insurance office we use to stuff full of candy and mail to clients)

Yep, mac and cheese, pasta, cereal to name a few, recycling is popular and the shipping is often less.

I use empty oatmeal boxes to mail items. The round size is a hoot for the recipient. I can get lots of fat quarters rolled into a big oatmeal container.

How neat!!! I didn't know you could use boxes like that to mail stuff in. So much more fun to find in your mailbox than a plain box.

Oat meal containers are great mailers.

Louis Rich frozen corn dogs come in a very sturdy card board box I have used for mailing. :) lol

Yes a cereal box.
