The USPS will even give you cartons for free and all you can fit for
one low price. I keep a stock of the various sized cartons, saves me
driving to the post office, I leave the carton in my rural mailbox
with my check taped to the carton, the PO carrier handles it. There
are three places in town here for UPS drop off. Many on line sellers
will email a label for free returns, Amazon does.
