For those of you outside the USA, you can order pre-marked boxes from the US Post Office, free of charge. They're set up to use the priority mail service, which is a fixed-price-per-box service, regardless of weight (up to about 70lb, I believe.) Basically, if it fits, it ships.

I ordered some with the intention of shipping some Christmas gifts to people, but they never arrived. I assumed that, along with a few items I ordered, they were stolen from my doorstep.

Today, I see they're sitting on my doorstep. Almost 5 months after I ordered them, and this is an item that is supplied by the post office, for the post office. I have no use for these boxes now, having delivered all the gifts by hand or other methods at this point.

And they wonder why their revenue is suffering.

That's what makes it a funny story.
