The Box Thread

[Raum]

At soem other forums, it's become a big thing to order USPS boxes and make stuff with them. People are ordering upwards of 30 thousand. For those whod on't know, the USPS offers shipping boxes 100% free of charge, so little asshats like myself take advantadge of that and abuse the system

Woot. That's me on the couch. That took about 50 small boxes. I got another shipment yesterday, so I've got 150 big boxes right now. I plan to make a castle in one room of our house, and a fort in our backyard. Anyone else do this, or have ideas for other stuff I could make? Planned things:

trash can

Chair(s)

leg rests

lamp

Box suit

No kidding, some people are just plain dumb and they complain the most when taxes or cost of something rises; they never realized it's partially their fault.

OMG

stamps are going up by 0.5?

the costs of e-mail will sky rocket!!

quick everyone, send as much e-mail as you can now while it's still cheap!!

[georgi55]

BTW, I wonder if this can be made into offence/mail fraud.

I'd never mess with USPS because if you mess with them illegally you are committing federal offence.

Look, stamp prices are going up whethe r a few hundred teens do this or not. That's the bottom line, so no need to be such a big <snipped> over it.

well you'd just encode the card into binary bits and just attatch it to the message, then when i reveive the e-mail, i'll decode those bits and it'll come out of my CD-ROM

(this is all sarcasm just to let you in on it if you don't already know)

more importantly this is fraud. and being this is from a goverment agency is a federal offence. You dont mess with the postal system, the feds/postal inspectors will show up at your door.

You accepted this when you orderd those boxes.

I understand that Express Mail?, Priority Mail?, Global Express Guaranteed?, Global Express Mail? and Global Priority Mail? packaging is the property of the United States Postal Service anprovided solelyy for sending Express Mail?, Priority Mail?, Global Express Guaranteed?, Global Express Mail? and Global Priority Mail&Misuse may be a violation of federal law. law.

Yes, I caught that. I know the consequences I may face, and I did it anyways. Don't you think that may mean that whatever the possible outcome, I'm prepared to face them?

If I get locked up for building a couch out of boxes, I'll completely udnerstand why. I'll laugh, serve my time, then laugh again after the fact.

You really need to chill out man.

As for the inspectors, There have bene people ordering 30k, and ordering 10k to be shipped to people they hate, and out of these hundreds of people, only one has had anyhting said to him. The only thing they did to him was say he might have to pay some fines unless he plans to use the boxes as they were intended to.

Either way, it doesn't mean jack to you what happens to me. If they come and lock me up, it's my problem, so why do you even care so much? Damn.

@Ritalin. Maybe in my castle. :) My brothers old room isn't being used, so my mom said if I wanted, she'd help me clear it out, so I could put my castle there. :p

[supernova_00]

I could care less what they do to you, my point is that <people> like yourself are wasting us taxpaying citizens money. Grow up.

Well, that may be, but a point I have is that you've needlessly flamed me twice in this thread now, and both instances have been reported. Hope all the insulting you did made you feel better about yourself, I think I'm gonna go back to building my new trash can.

If this is the attitude you have with people on a daily basis, I'm more than happy to waste your tax money. :)
