Do You Tape Over The Pull Strip On The USPS Box?

[pnoguy]

i don't care how tough it is to open :angerFU:

Two words. Box. Knife.

gently pull apart the glued sides.......no knives, no extra time in the gym.:grin:

 

[klipsch]

Let's see. Put a piece of tape over the flap and then some, just to be safe?

Or...trust that the USPS produces the very best in peel and stick adhesive (their larger boxes aren't self sealing) in the entire world. And possibly have to send a replacement super uber HTF stick (probably one of those "only 100 cigars produced") to the recipient, because that @$$hole Murphy decided to pee on the adhesive and the flap popped open during shipment? :scratchhe

I kinda like the fact it adds extra security. So yes I tape around the middle once. It also protects the address as well.

 

[Clint]

Yes, but only because those boxes are so lame that I feel if I don't they'll pop open in transit!

 

[strife]

There's a pull strip? :dunno:

 

[jjon90]

On the old boxes there is....

 

[mwlabel]

I go heavy on the tape, I've had things stolen from packages before. Sorry brothers

 

[Northshore04]

Yup. I put tape over the addresses and both ends. Helps to completely seal the box from liquid, bugs, etc.

None of the boxes I received from the USPS have pull strips. It is probably saving them a few pennies.

Here's one better....

I've turned the box inside out once when I was out of the mailers. All the stickers and addy labels were too much to remove so I turned it inside out and it was business as usual!:hysterica :hysterica :hysterica

Damn right and I save a couple of bucks in the process. When I use their box they charge me $4.95 and when I turn the box inside out it only cost $2.10 to send it out.

Can't do that with the new boxes, "Priority Mail" is printed in abundance all over the inside.

 

[dpricenator]

I ordered a roll of priority mail sticker that I now use for tape. and I tape over every place it might come apart.

 

[Mutombo]

I tape over everything! I keep a folding knife handy at my desk for opening packages, so I don't mind the extra effort to open if it means everything is kept safe!

 

[Thegreekone]

I am with my man, Mutombo. Tape, shmape. I was gifted a small switchblade and I use it to open all my packages. No problemo hermoso! :thumbsup:

 

[Jetexas]

Tape, and plenty of it!!
