I am not sure I understand you? I use Priority mail and order boxes by the
carton.
For me to turn a NEW box inside out and use it to ship some other way would
be illegal.
If my customer who receives a priority mail package, opens it and then reuses
the box (by folding it inside out), I don't think they are breaking the law.
Most of the Priority mail boxes use a glue to self seal. You then pull a tear
strip to open the box. Technically the box is destroyed. However the small
video tape size boxes really lend themselves to reuse by turning them inside
out and taping them. I suspect this secondary use is not illegal. I call this
recycling.
Now a friend of mine bought a bunch of new USPS Priority Mail supplies in a
lot at an auction. For him to use these inside out would be illegal even
though he is not signed up with the Post Office Priority Mail.
He was actually after the 26 pallets of new blank cardboard boxes with them
which he sold on the secondary market.
