Yes, that's right. Free USPS stuff! (courtesy of USPS and american tax payer's money) http://shop.usps.com/cgi-bin/vsbv/postal_store_non_ssl/display_products/productCategory.jsp?prodCat=/Shipping+Supplies/Express+Mail

I got 50 of the 12x12x8 boxes, 25 of the 14x5x13 or whatever ones, and like 10 rolls of stickers (To hold the boxes together instead of tape cause tape costs money)

If you want to build something, get the 12x12x8 ones and some stickers.

I've already built my bunneh a house, and once it's summer I'm going to build paintball shelters at my friend's house (which is also our paintballing field)

I'm not responsible for you ordering stuff that costs money, poking your eye out, not using boxes for their recommended useage, getting arrested, getting poked in the nose, etc. Do it at your own risk. Etc.

The boxes could be stacked and made into a net. Which just gave me an idea for when summer comes. The only problem is the fact that my wicked slapshot would pummel the cardboard =P

I understand that Express Mail®, Priority Mail®, Global Express Guaranteed®, Global Express Mail® and Global Priority Mail® packaging is the property of the United States Postal Service and is provided solely for sending Express Mail®, Priority Mail®, Global Express Guaranteed®, Global Express Mail® and Global Priority Mail®. Misuse may be a violation of federal law.

Hmmm... Ah, I'm doing it anyway. Never was one to pass up something free.

EDIT: 20 rolls of stickers coming my way. They make great stocking-stuffers. :)

Naw, there was a huge discussion at LL about this, and we agree'd that that warning was for if you ordered boxes to another address or doing anything else under someone else's name.

if you go to the actual post office, you can get all the stuff you want, but be warned, it is technically illegal to misuse, or really illegal to resell, government property...

so, if someone is really annoyed at you, and they call the USPS and say you are misusing boxes, you can be fined.... for taking boxes...

its the law, and its stupid....

Heh, it'd be kinda fun to order someone else a few hundred empty boxes. Naughty though.
