Hey that's right, everyone is using USPS boxes. No Fedex, UPS, or even DHL. I used then box from then ac unit in my window, I knew it would come in handy one day.

Imma have to do USPS too though, I ordered boxes from them :laugh:

Imma do UPS, uhhhhhhh!!! LOL

That would be funny a USPS VS UPS VS Fedex VS DHL battle..

UPS would start posting that the cardboard from Fedex was inferior and slower... :laugh:
