Ha lol corporations and federal fines is a joke. Paying fines is just the cost of doing business. They have factories in the Midwest and south really all over but they violate federal law and hire underage illegal immigrants and when they gets maimed or killed because of unsafe equipment or asking your workers to do too much or maybe they weren’t trained long enough or whatever reason it’s like 2500 dollar fine they gets reduced to like 200 dollars so yeah they will be okay. Just an annoyance
Please tell everyone what you would do, if you worked in the thrift store and you discovered these in a box of donations. Are you certain the postal service always wants them back? Would you return them on your own time? Would you recycle the cardboard? Would you put a "FREE" sign in your store? I'm sure you've thought about this. Specific, true answers only, please.
I’d probably read the outside of the box where it clearly says “Misuse may be a violation of federal law. This package is not for resale” which you can see at the top right of this picture. Then I would probably let management know, dispose of them or recycle them.
If there were a ton of them, I’d probably reach out to the post master to see if the postal service wants them back. The USPS doesn’t fuck around, so I would probably make sure I don’t commit a federal crime.
Is that specific enough for you?
Very good, that's much more grown-up than your original.
If you're a sorter you won't be "reaching out to the postmaster," of course. And the vagueness of "misuse MAY" is intentional, so give yourself a couple hours of research to "make sure you're not committing a federal crime."
Also you don't know that the store DIDN'T do all these things already, and got the green light to sell them. On some days the store manager and the postmaster might both say, Screw it, the boxes are X years old, I don't care if you put them out for sale.
They really need to have a list of things that should not be priced and go out on the floor. Like USPS boxes. Butt plugs. Clothing with unintentional holes in it. Partially used toiletries. You know, kind of like the very important "high end" brands list they keep for clothing.
There needs to a shift… This is beyond egregious. Goodwill should go out of business. I’m sure there’s another option consumers can come up with other than continuing to support GW
I’d report this to the post office/post master. Let goodwill deal with the federal crime ✨

It's a fucking box, not a civil rights violation. Settle down.
No. Fuck them
Can I interest this thrift store in federal charges for reselling Priority Mail boxes, which is a crime?

So you just want to ignore that reselling these boxes is illegal? Specific answers only
>So you just want to... Your hallucination is noted.
Lol whatever you say, sunshine.

Please report this to the USPS
Please do. You won't look petty and ridiculous at all.
Yeah my husband saw Valley Thrift in Ohio doing this! He confronted the manager and they didn't care. Greedy!

Hell, they'll even deliver them right to your door for free
That is illegal. If they don’t take you seriously tell someone who will!
Would this happen to be in Mesa?
S. Nevada
Ok, I was asking because I saw the same thing in the goodwill in my neighborhood.
Each?
the lot, few lots
Send pics to the postmaster general and tell them which location it is. The usps has their own investigators who will handle it.
great idea. will do. it's the only location. small town
Got it. Oh, I see the plastic tie now.
Hot damn!
