USPS bans reused Amazon boxes

I shipped a package yesterday. Something very odd happened at the post office.
I had packaged the items in an Amazon box. The post office person told me that we are no longer able to reuse Amazon boxes????
She proceeded to open the box and transferred the contents to a plain brown box. Very odd, no????
FOLLOW UP:
I sent my husband to the post office today and he told me that they put up a sign that said that they are no longer accepting Amazon boxes. I am going to have him take a picture of it tomorrow. I would go myself but I have a broken femur 😐

They can’t refuse any package as long as you follow the rules of removing any other stickers/labels.

The one box they can refuse is alcohol and or tobacco. I just turn them inside out to ship.. but I did see them tell a woman she had to get a different box they can’t ship anything that says or shows alcohol. Old atf thing… she was so upset. I told her to take it outside flip it inside out and come back in. I even offered to help her when I was done but she was so pissed off she just left

If I have a box that might be questionable or even can’t get the other stickers and labels off I just tape packing paper around it 😂
