Priority Mail Boxes from USPS
#11
Ours closed on Saturdays about 6 weeks ago...the neighboring town is still open.
My SIL is a union rep, two cousins are a PostMasters...they all say the government is really pushing to close ALL PO's on Saturday and there is also talk of stopping mail delivery on Saturday's too... Wouldn't that be a MESS at Christmas time???

Here is the discussion we had on my Priority fiasco LOL and it seems that some PO's have let this slide... but like I said...it is a crap shoot...you may win, you could lose :wink: Your PO can let it go through and then it gets shot back to you by another, like mine did :roll:

Did you mail it (the first time) from a post office? Did you hand it to a clerk?
If you handed it to a clerk, and he/she did not say anything to you about the box, I think it should have kept on going and not been returned to you.

reused shouldn't mean paying for the box again though. sigh. oh well it's only the Post Office.
i reused one sent to me from Australia and worried what they would do. I just paid for mailing it, not for the box again. whew.

EDIT***** When I reused the Priority box, I had to wrap it in brown paper to cover up the stamps and labels that were all over the top and bottom of it. So it was not easy to see the Priority stamped on the box itself.

Once you pay for their other boxes, (these are not printed with the words Priority) you can reuse them as many times as you want... no problem
