I never knew that. Tried to ship out a used 5 gal plastic fuel cell today and the liquor store had the perfect size box to package it.
I sharpie'd/X'd out all the bar codes and logos, but its a no go when I dropped it off at the PO.
Spray paint is drying as we speak, give it another shot tomorrow.
Guess USPS needs to sell more boxes?
 
Just mark the box, "Sex Toys" and USPS will be all over it.

I never ship USPS. Always buy UPS labels from Pirate Ship

Wrap it in the masking paper you get at Home Depot, the stuff some people use when painting interior walls.
OR....
Tear up some grocery store bags and use the paper from them.
You're supposed to be a smart guy, man.....Waddaya struggling for with such simple issues?

Unfold the box at the tabs and turn the labeling inside out. Re tape box shut with shipping contents inside and Wah Lah you have a new box for shipping.
 
In the future, yes there are many options, but being it was minutes before they closed, I had no supplies with me, and the box and printed label was already firmly attached to the outside, a can of spray paint has already been chosen and applied, We'll see tomorrow how that works.
I am not fond of paper type coverings as they IMO lack robustness especially with applied labels.
The main point however I was trying to share is, raw liquor boxes are verboten for shipping at USPS.
Any assumptions of my intelligence are made wholly at your own risk.:luvplace:
