Am I allowed to ship a book in an old Amazon box?

They make boxes in the Amazon?



And for a real response: sure.

Working at UPS, there are a couple boxes every morning shipped in Fedex, DHL or USPS boxes with UPS labels on them.

It's done so often nobody really cares, other than every now and then to notice it and laugh a bit.

Sure, but do not ship any Old Amazons in a book box.

As Jeremy noted, you can ship in a box that has stuff written on it. The only problem you will run into is if you ship something through the USPS and it says something like "Hazardous Materials" or something like that written on it. You can still use the box in those cases but you just need to mark out those words with a black marker.

The main thing to ensure when using any box is to make the address label pretty obvious. Other than that, it doesn't matter what kind of box you use.

Thanks for all the help, guys. Now I'd like to hear some more Amazon jokes!

I think I have had things shipped to me in an Amazon box at least once and have had shippers use all kinds of other boxes as well.

Quoting Mr. Harmon: Sure, but do not ship any Old Amazons in a book box.

I could add, "old Amazons never die; they just fade away." And that's fortunate for what could be the natural result: medical schools don't graduate that many plastic surgeons...

We get Amazon boxes in the mail all the time. Don't make the mistake of getting Amazon Prime. Free second day shipping on almost everything is not good for the pocket book.
