WHAT ABOUT SHIPPING?  I don't believe there is any such thing as a "free box."  While I do use USPS Priority Shipping boxes, I try whenever possible to offer Parcel Post shipping as well.  Many times there is a several dollar difference between Priority and Parcel post.  So, when someone doesn't NEED an item in 3 days, I really try to give them the option to save some money on shipping.  This isn't always possible since sometimes there is a difference of only pennies.  Also, if a properly sized non-priority box isn't readily available, I'll list the item with priority shipping....but I'll update the shipping if I find a brown box in the meantime. 

I ship in recycled boxes...or technically "freecycled"...whenever possible.  Ever get a packaged mailed to you in a box that still looks brand new?  Rather than let them end up in a landfill (or be broken down and recycled a use or two too soon), I collect boxes that have been used only one time or so and and are still in great condition.  I do not pack fragile items in boxes that cannot withstand a 2nd use. 

So, don't be surprised if you have a Capri Sun Box or a pickle box show up in your mailbox.
