Anyway then follow these steps....

Step 1: Waste Not Want Not....
Ok so get your used boxes (at work) or new UPS/USPS shipped to you (online/dropbox).
They do not allow anothers carrier to reuse materials for NEW ground or parcel post so to RE-USE this packaging so we take old boxes and turn them ..."inside out"....
Thus they NOW get used or 're-used', work well and are FREE. So save a few $$ and donate it to your local recycling center.
The steps herein show the techniques details.
...start with ripping the main seams open along the length...
Step 2: Get Some Reuse Boxes & Packaging!
Yes, any use is better than LANDFILL....Double Re-use is even better...
Many shippers use specific packages, letters & envelopes for express/priority shipping ONLY! However we use them ONCE then throw them away. Or we can't use them AT ALL for other carriers even more economical snail mail or "ground" shipping...WHY!
Express, Overnight and Early AM packaging is exprensive and much is not recycled or reused...REUSE! INVERT!
These steps will show how to get and where to use such materials.
They'll deliver! Pickup at their office or your work location!
