Does USPS make you pay for boxes?
Are you wondering if the United States Postal Service (USPS) charges customers for the boxes they provide? It's a common question among those who frequently ship packages through the USPS. The answer is that it depends on the type of box you're looking for. USPS does offer free Priority Mail and Priority Mail Express boxes and envelopes at your local post office or online for shipping domestically. These boxes come in a variety of sizes to accommodate different types of packages. However, if you're looking for a specific type of box that's not offered by USPS, you may need to purchase it from a third-party supplier or use your own packaging material. In addition, USPS does charge a fee for certain types of specialty boxes, such as flat rate boxes, which offer a set price for shipping regardless of the weight of the package. The cost of these boxes is included in the shipping price, so you don't have to pay an additional fee for the box itself. So, in summary, the answer to your question is that USPS does not necessarily make you pay for boxes, but it depends on the type of box you're looking for and whether it's offered for free or at an additional cost.
