ORDERING PRIORITY MAIL SHIPPING SUPPLIES

You can order any of the Priority Mail shipping boxes and/or envelopes, packing tape, stickers, etc. and have them shipped to your home.  And, best of all, the shipping supplies and postage to send them to you are, "FREE". This can be accomplished by mailing a form provided by the USPS or by doing it from your computer online.  I of course, go the online route.

Just be aware that the minimum quantities ordered will be rather large for boxes and/or envelopes. Where as the Priority Mail packing tape is a one roll minimum.  However, if you wish you can increase the quantities for each.

To access the Priority Mail Shipping Supplies, go to: http://shop.usps.com/cgi-bin/vsbv/postal_store_non_ssl/home.jsp

Then, in the Search Box in the upper right hand corner of shopping page, enter, "Priority Shipping Materials", and press, "Search".  This will take you to page which begins the list of packing supplies available.  The first row listed, is for Global Priority Mail. However, the listings on the rest of that page and the following pages are for Priority Mail.

I ordered one lot (quantity 25) of the last item on the first page, being Item# OBOX4.  I normally use this box for a combination of plants and leaves.  When you click on the item, it enters it in your shopping cart.  You then have the choice of increasing the number of lots.  Then return to the selection page.

If I have a larger number of plants to send, I use the Item# OBOX7 which is listed on the third page.

Item#O-1096S (small) or O-1096L (large) for shipping leaves and stolen.

I am finding the free packing tape, Item# LABEL 106-A,  is of very excellent quality.  If you are using a conventional cardboard box from time to time, I suggest you order at least one roll of the Priority Mail Stickers, Item# LABEL 107-R.

Once you have completed your order and are at the shopping cart page, press "check out" button and the program will walk you through the process of completing your order.

And........ That is all there is too it.  I received what I ordered in two shipments within 10 days.
