(...) That's weird! I do the same thing, I take in extras of the sizes I know they can't order either (one of the flat boxes they can get and one they can't). I don't mind that much as it keeps my relationship with the local PO in good shape. They (...) (22 years ago, 29-Apr-02, to lugnet.market.shipping)

(...) I suppose that would make too much sense for my postmaster to order the boxes as a civilian and have them delivered to her directly (or for a bogus address). Actually, I don't mind doing my postmaster a favor now and then. I get extra special (...) (22 years ago, 29-Apr-02, to lugnet.market.shipping)

(...) Hmm, why doesn't she order them herself, and pick some bogus address that her staff is well aware means "deliver to us." Hmm, like the actual street address of the Post Office??? :-) (that would then be a funny way to initiate a new driver, (...) (22 years ago, 29-Apr-02, to lugnet.market.shipping)

(...) I also am very happy ordering supplies online. About twice a year for me. Funny thing about PM supplies--it seems that some/all of the little rural post offices have a hard time getting certain box sizes. So every few months my local (...) (22 years ago, 29-Apr-02, to lugnet.market.shipping)

(...) I think you dun good. Really. I guess I would go in on 11 pallets with other locals if I had to and if more sizes than just the one were only available that way. But I can live without the 5x5 box, I guess, and it seems that's the only one not (...) (22 years ago, 29-Apr-02, to lugnet.market.shipping)

Thanks to everyone who responded. I was trying to point out that there are more sizes available than the USPS website has available in small quantites. Oh well, good intentions and all that jazz. Ray (...) (22 years ago, 29-Apr-02, to lugnet.market.shipping)

Ray, Try this link: (URL) believe they have everything except the small cube available there. You order in case quantitis, usually 25 pieces, and they are delivered to your door by the post office.

(...) Thanks for the info. I order all of my USPS supplies, including tape, on line here: (URL) on the Shipping Supplies link on that page. I believe you need an account (no charge) to order. -Rob. (22 years ago, 28-Apr-02, to lugnet.market.shipping)

As the USPS Priority Mail rates will be increasing at the end of June, thought I would share some information that I have gathered.. USPS has a wide variety of box sizes available for Priority Mail shippers. The downside is that most of them are (...) (22 years ago, 28-Apr-02, to lugnet.market.shipping)
