Make sure to recycle & reuse the readily identifiable boxes as it may speed up your USPS Priority shipping.

Re: USPS Prioritizes Amazon Boxes

Recycling/ reuse is great anyway but be sure and reinforce the boxes with plenty of tape and good inner packing as they're flimsy and were only intended to be used once. The prime bubblemailers are good for reuse of appropriate items as well but don't use any with damage, they destruct rapidly. Prime packaging is lesser quality than dollar store supplies.

Re: USPS Prioritizes Amazon Boxes

If they get preference, it is automatically done during sorting based on the bar code/originating shipper account, not the name printed on the box.

 

Make sure if you reuse any box, you smell it up close and make sure it has absolutely zero smell or odor (even if it is a pleasant one.) Any detectable odor can be trouble for people with sensitivity to smells. Amazon ships cosmetics in their branded boxes and they can impart a smell to the box.
