US mail shipping question

[snowdogg187]

Anyone know the answer to this?

Ohh, and I am just forwarding something to a friend from google and don't want to open and repack the box.

Thanks

I believe only if you ship fedex are you able to use Fedex boxes.

it doesnt matter, ive don it before and it worked fine, just be sure to cover up or remove the fedex label

yes you can do it. fedex is a private company and you can steal their boxes all you want

theyll probably tape over the logos

HAHAHHA I had the same question. my friend said that would be illegal. You can wrap it up in brown paper and ship it.

illegal? i dont think it would be illegal, but i dont think usps would like you too much.

i used a fedex box to send it to a USPS PO Box and the post office thought it was mistake so it sat at the post office a few days before the recipient specifically asked if they had a fedex box shipped there.

since then, if i use a fedex box, i be sure to take it apart, reverse it inside out than mail it that way. then it looks like any generic brown box.

Ditto here. No problems at all.

Thanks guys, I didn't "steal" the box. It was shipped from newegg and I am sending to a friend in "junior USA"

i reuse cdw boxes all the time when my company buys stuff

 

[newParadigm]

cdw isnt a shipping company, fedex is, thats where the prob arises

 

[sharkeeper]

Yes because they'll require you to send it registered mail. They'll tape the box on all sides so the (rubber) stamps show up.

 

[sygyzy]

It is illegal. So is jaywalking, are you going to ask if you could do it?

If you've dealt w/ eBay before, you know people steal UPS bubble envelopes. Way cheaper than buying from walgreens or post office. You can get shipping boxes and packing tape from the post office website shipped to you for $0. Lots of sizes, do a search. They're all priority mail boxes though. Just flip the inside out.
