USPS Regional Box Misprint - Am I in trouble using this box?

[dreambooks]

I received a pack of 25 Priority Mail Regional Boxes A. It has misprint "Priority Mail Regional Box B Postage Required" on it. Am I in trouble using it, or should I stop using it? Thanks.

I would make sure the bar codes are correct. If it has the wrong bar code you might get charged for something other than A by the Revenue Assurance Program. That was happening a couple years ago. It looks like you could cover the Regional B text with the label.

I use that box all the time. It's called Rate A2 box. I've used it on a few different marketplaces making my shipping labels on eBay shipping labels or  USPS labels and I never noticed an adjustment to the rate B box cost.  In other words they don't charge you more money. 

If you pay  the rate B postage on a rate A2  box it will give you an additional 5 lbs for a total of 20 pounds.

@auctionairecorp  So you are saying you have used that particular mis-printed box?

As other posted, the "barcode" is the thing that will determine what happens.

The machines along the way scan the barcode to determine the cost.

Confirm that the code is correct for the Regional A box, or you will be getting some charges added to your account.

Been  using them for quite some time including today they all say that in that same spot.

You could always walk up to any teller at a USPS office. have her scan it in and get acceptance like I did

The boxes that i have , have the same code ending with 52. 

I brought about half dozen of  to the post office today , couple of them where the eBay Pitney Bowes shipping labels on them with product Inside the Box. I showed her that they were rate a box labels. And asked if they were in the correct box she said yes and I said what about this disclaimer over here, she said I don't know but if I scan the Box itself it's going to say r r a.. Regional rate A box.

I use those boxes all the time and many times I put the label over the barcode that's on the box, they've never told me they need to leave it uncovered so they can scan it.  Most likely as long as you use regional A postage you'll be fine since the dimensions of the box are regional A size.  I've always thought the barcode on the box was just to define the product and was never used for any reason that would affect a consumer.
