Folks,

From time to time (as in another current thread) the issue of using
Priority Mail boxes for media mail purposes comes up for discussion. The
question is whether using these boxes for other-than priority mail is
against the law.

There MUST be lawyers who read this newsgroup.

Will someone who actually knows what s/he is talking about from a LEGAL
point of view please enlighten us on the issue?


Or you can just ask a knowledgeable and trustworthy US postal
clerk whom you are on good terms with, which is what I did today. She
confirms that the use of the USPS's priority mail boxes, even old
ones, for any other use than their eponymous function is definitely a
violation of the rules. Usually they warn you the first time or just
charge you the priority rate; subsequent acts is "actionable."
