How do you come to that conclusion?

Looks like he pulled it right out of his ass.

I don't want to use the USPS boxes for other than priority mail
shipments. Rather than get in a dialogue regarding whether it is legal
or not, does anyone else have an economical source for boxes. Does
anyone use uline boxes?

No problem, if you don't mind revealing to your buyer that you're a
thief.

Uline is indeed reliable, & affordable. It is one of the most popular
shipping supplies companies & their prices are as good as, or better than,
most.

I used to RECYCLE received priority boxes by turning them inside out as a
forest-saving factor, but now I recycle them only if the priority-printed
side can be neatly covered with a big priority label, for fear of being
mistaken for those thieving cretins who grab a handful of free boxes at
the P.0. to use inside-out for media mail packages or for UPS.

I use recycled, clean, "like new" boxes for my shipments.

Books fit quite nicely in electronics boxes, which are
readily available at computer shops. I'm not talking
about the display boxes, but the plain, brown, sturdy
shipping boxes that hold modems and other cards.
I'm lucky that my husband works with these items, so
I get free delivery... but if he didn't occasionally haul
them home, someone else would have to crush and
recycle them.

Check at a few local strip-malls. Check around the
back, too, at the loading docks. Our local Ben
Franklin crafts store gets shipments daily, and there's
a variety of boxes *and* packing supplies available
for the taking. I used to ask if I could take them, but
after being told "PLEASE! It'll save me crushing them!",
I just load up. Occasionally, someone will come out
because they heard a noise...and thank me.

I came to that conclusion by thinking like lawyer -- something that is
fairly easy for me to do, when I want to, because I AM a lawyer.

Since this seems to be so difficult for some people to believe, I will
see if I can track down the specifics.

I use ULINE. Fine company, quick shipping, fair prices. Watch for
their SALES... and move fast because they don't run them for long.
Even with all of their sizes it can be hard to find 'book sized'
mailers so you might want to start with a small order then order
bigger once you see which sizes you use frequently.

I used to scavenge boxes all the time. Now I don't have the time for
it, and think that the majority of my customers like receiving their
books in nice clean new boxes that THEY can recycle if they are of a
mind to.

Good luck.
