Wrong answer. These boxes are stamped on the inside because the
post office got wise to this. Priority Mail materials are supposed
to be used ONLY FOR PRIORITY MAIL. The postal service may even
have made you sign an agreement to this effect if you get these
materials delivered directly to you. If you do this, you may
find you have wasted the time for a trip to the post office if
they won't accept your package, or even worse, if it got into the
system and then returned to sender.
