Can i still use priority mail boxes

Yes, you can still use Priority Mail boxes, but there are some changes you should be aware of:

  4. Free boxes: The USPS still offers free Priority Mail boxes for customers who purchase a Priority Mail label online. You can print your label and attach it to the box.
  5. Custom boxes: If you need a custom-sized box, you can purchase one from the USPS or a third-party supplier. Keep in mind that custom boxes may not be eligible for free shipping.
  6. Tracking: All Priority Mail boxes come with tracking, which allows you to monitor the status of your package.
  7. Insurance: Priority Mail boxes are eligible for insurance coverage, which protects your package against loss or damage.
