The smaller boxes are great for mailing one or two volumes. www.usps.gov -- Bob Finnan The Hardy Boys Unofficial Home Page http://users.arczip.com/fwdixon New & Out Of Print Books, Books-On-Tape, Videos, DVDs, CD-ROMs For Sale http://users.arczip.com/fwdixon/hbsale.htm To reply: replace nospam with fwdixon .................................................. .................... |

Rather obvious but I didn't see it myself until today, after receiving such an item through half.com. -- Ht |

Just a warning: If the wrapping is torn in any way and any part of the priority mail markings are visible, the recipient of a "media mail" package can be in for a big surprise when it arrives postage due (at the rate for priority mail by weight). And another warning: if the Post Office decides to inspect the package (which is likely than average, since it will look suspiciously like what it is), you may find yourself subject to a fine or other disciplinary action. The Post Office provides free Priority Mail boxes for use in shipping Priority Mail. It is against the law to use these boxes for other purposes. My mail address is jsachs177 at earthlink dot net. |

The PO weasels its way around this by saying "may be a violation". Clearly if it was a violation, that would be clearly stated by the PO. -- Bob Finnan The Hardy Boys Unofficial Home Page http://users.arczip.com/fwdixon New & Out Of Print Books, Books-On-Tape, Videos, DVDs, CD-ROMs For Sale http://users.arczip.com/fwdixon/hbsale.htm To reply: replace nospam with fwdixon .................................................. .................... |

"May be a violation" means, "We are not going to say anything that might restrict our freedom of action if we catch you doing this." It does NOT mean that the action violates no law. It's a good indication that the action violates more than one law. My mail address is jsachs177 at earthlink dot net. |

If these are anything like the global priority envelopes they are no
protection anyway! Cheers, Tom L-M "R. Totale" wrote in message ...

Priority Mail boxes are made of a fairly sturdy cardboard and provide a reasonable degree of protection for the items contained therein. -- Bob Finnan The Hardy Boys Unofficial Home Page http://users.arczip.com/fwdixon New & Out Of Print Books, Books-On-Tape, Videos, DVDs, CD-ROMs For Sale http://users.arczip.com/fwdixon/hbsale.htm To reply: replace nospam with fwdixon .................................................. .................... |

It does NOT mean that the action violates no law. It's a good indication that the action violates more than one law. How do you come to that conclusion?
