not recommended, but if u seal it correctly, i guess they can't refuse plus pizza boxes are pretty sturdy containers.

Will I need to do anything to the box? I plan on sealing every crack very well with packing tape. Do I need to cover up the logo or do anything else? I'm well known on ebay for having "Super-safe packaging! A+++++++++++++++++"

Seriously? How about you ship it Priority and get one of those flat rate boxes...all priority boxes and tape are free. Don't be an idiot you wouldn't want it shipped in a pizza box either...

Where do you get those boxes?

Edit: And I already payed for shipping and printed the label.

A bubble envelope costs less than $2. I'm assuming shipping will be Media Mail, so that won't cost that much either.

This is a textbook though, not a little paperback.

don't listen to these guys, cardboard is cardboard. seal it up, wrap it in brown paper, and you're good to go.

i thought you meant a used pizza box

if it has never ever had a pizza in it, i guess it is ok

but still not recommended, as everybody ^^^ said, you can get free priority mail boxes at the post office


good luck pizza book boy!
