USPS free boxes+PBN=Disaster

[CaptaiN_JacK]

Dear Lord, has anybody else seen the free USPS shipping boxes thread over at Pbnation? Kids are ordering THOUSANDS of those free boxes and THOUSANDS of free shipping stickers (apiece, literally). Talk about impulse-ordering, I doubt they realized how stupid it was to order so many boxes until their parents reminded them.

And people wonder where their tax money goes?

That isn't the original thread on it, I was too lazy to find it and I think it might have been locked anyways.

Hmm... I wonder if I can get free mailing envelopes.

Link to the boxes?

You can go into any post office and get the free boxes and priority envelopes. If my kids did that I'd kick their butts.

Wow. I had absolutely no idea. What about non-priority? Like, just plain manilla envelopes? Anything like that?

I don't think so. The best thing the PO just came out with is the "flat rate" box. You just pay a flat fee for the box, regardless of weight or destination.

I personally ordered 475 because im a immature 16 year old that wants to have some free fun at someone elses expense. The funniest part about it is my mom is the mail lady that will be delivering them.

1. Fill flat rate box complelty with depleated uranium
2. Have two guys carry it in and place it on the counter
3. Pay your $8.00 or so postage
4. Laugh

it isnt your tax money, usps is privately funded through shippment and stamps, the government does not run it, but the government only REGULATES it. therefore, YOUR money isnt going into our forts and you should stfu.

Oh so smart.

I hope somwhere is says any order over 100 will be $1 per box. Imagine when they get their boxes, throw them out and two weeks later get a bill for $2900.

I hope you get a visit from the Postal Inspectors. Why is it that anytime a company or a person tries to provide a service, people have to try and abuse it just for fun?

Just ordered 225 boxes and a bunch of lables and stickers
But I actually use them so the morons ordering them to ruin it for the rest of us can bite me. I really hope that the PN nation idiots get their 3000 boxes, make a fort, take pictures, and the pictures are subsequently used at their trial for misuse/destroying/whatever it is USPS property, maybie mail fraut? That would be hilarious.
I just found out eBay has free boxes too and they have cool eBay logos on them, too bad I just ordered all the USPS ones.

I never fingerd you squid, but if I post if for you then idiots like this get it.

What sucks is the minimum order is 25, I would have been happier with 10, anyway now I have a years supply of boxes
