How-to: Converting FREE USPS 1095 boxes to fit shoe boxes

[MF HectoOR]

^^ Well next time i experience something like that I will. I just paid it cause the sender seemed very shady and it was a trade so I rather keep the shoes other than risk losing both of the shoes from some shenanigans. Also postman is a lady thats been delivering me mail since I could remember. Highly doubt she was trying to pull a fast one on me.

Omfg I would have been irate over that box job Guam!! Are joking me?!! Hahaha this dude had the loot to afford those in the first place but can't afford to ship them in a box?! Haha omg horrible coms, I would have rather gifted him 5$ for him to buy a box and ship em like a normal person!

[DJGuamstyles]

Yeah...he later got banned on SC forums, but I felt he was a little weird in just communicating with him. Just glad it was over with. Copped them Zen Grey Yeezys for $475 shipped!

Ive been doing this for years!!! Dude at the post office actually told me too so i didnt pay for boxes lol!

[Yeltsew]

I did this last week. Atleast I tried, they wouldn't let me SMH. Was feelin' pretty proud too

[DJGuamstyles]

Yeah Post Office workers sometimes don't think outside of the "box". They're stuck on stupid. As long as you aren't paying "flat-rate" pricing, it's no different than if you brought it in your own box. I bet if you go back and visit another rep, they'd let it go through.

I always use USPS.com or paypal to pre-print my labels, and my usual USPS mail carrier is now my friend, because he picks up and drops off so many of my packages. Sort of get to know your carrier, and see if he's cool. Some are assholes though. If you live in a neighborhood where your mailboxes are on the curb, chances are, they won't want to get off of their lazy asses, and get out of their van to walk up to the doorstep. I can't stand the counter workers. I bought my own little cheap drug dealer scale, which works perfectly, and only cost about $10. Amazon, eBay, Harbor Freight, wherever. I just use the night drop box. It's the big stainless steel drum with the handle on it, where you can drop off a box, and lift the lever, and let it slide in. As long as your shipping weight and fees are close, it won't come back to you. Also, shipping international is super easy with USPS priority mail. Just make sure to have the customs clear sleeves that they require, and that's it. Your label prints out in 4 copies. You sign each one, cut the sheets in half, and place the first 3 in the sleeve, and keep the 4th. Send that bitch out on it's merry way! Sooo easy. That's why I have no problem being a proxy for guys like Erwin and Joni_Loco.

Genius idea! I've been buying boxes from ULINE all this time.

[daewond3r]

I'm trying this for the first time. Hope it works!

[mackiv]

dae, did it work for you? im bout to try it today. on the ebay forums they say to brown bag wrap the altered flat rate box so theres no suspicion of altering it.

[DJGuamstyles]

I just got a shipment from FedEx yesterday, and it came packaged in a USPS Priority Mail box, lol. They REALLY don't care. Also, just make sure to run tape down the side of the slit or bent corner, because it may be weaker after the new bend points.

[mackiv]

faaaaaasho!!!!(this isn't for our transaction by the way guam, lol yurs is sent already)

[DJGuamstyles]

Haha all good.

[Fredyws]

Nicely done, but I don't know if it worth it, depending on time i'd rather just spend the extra few bucks for a suitable box.

[mackiv]

The extra few bucks yur talkin about could almost double the shipping cost of a modded flatrate, and most sellers either DONT pay for shipping, or they factor it in their overall profit. Paying the cost doesnt always make u a boss homie...
