Priority boxes are FREE but they are free because you pay a premium for priority shipping and can only be used for that purpose. I'm sure you can re-use them but only if they are shipped via priority.
Priority boxes used to be blank on the inside but people would go to the post office and get as many "free" priority boxes as they needed and would flip them inside out and ship normal parcel post. Now priority boxes are printed on both side so that it can't be done anymore.
I don't work for the post office but my company makes all kinds of mail & ship supplies and this was a huge issue for the corrugate box industry.
I still don't think that you should have been charged (doesn't seem fair).
PS. My post office and delivery person are great.
Sorry for the hyjack Ronnie, might not help with this situation but if you already haven't, I would talk to your Postman just to let them know what happened................
