I have been buying my shipping supplies from U-LINE
for years and have
always been impressed with the service and pricing.
When I can't get to the right size box I sometimes use free boxes from an
area liquor store. I went to the post office last week to ship a few boxes
to a list member and was told they could not ship any kind of booze box
unless wrapped in a grocery bag or painted over.
When I had my UPS account, or used fed-ex, they took them. They just
worried about previous shipping info on the box.
I tried another post office and the same thing happened.
Has anyone else had this problem?
I'm in post offices quite a bit because of my ebaying. Every one of them
has a poster by the counter explaining those various markings on boxes
that need to be blotted out before the package will be accepted. It's
never been a problem for me. I always keep some kraft paper on hand for
that.
