🌟🌟 QUESTION OF THE DAY 🌟🌟
❓Did you know that misusing USPS FREE shipping supplies can lead to fines, postage due, or even federal charges? 🚨
📦 Free USPS supplies are provided ONLY for shipping Priority Mail. Using them as filler inside other boxes, covering flat-rate boxes with poly mailers, turning them inside out, storing items in them, or using them as shelving is NOT allowed.
👮Under 18 U.S.C. § 1707, it is a federal offense to “purloin or embezzle any property used by the Postal Service, or appropriate such property to any use other than its proper use.”
⚖️ Many cases never go to court because they’re settled quietly. - Recently, a Whatnot seller was ordered to pay over $100,000 in an out-of-court settlement and was permanently banned from Whatnot for covering flat-rate boxes with polymailers and using USPS envelopes as padding - there are over 82 cases pending for Whatnot and thousands of cases from other platforms.
😵“Everyone does it” is not a defense
