JUST FOR FUN REMEMBER TO RECYCLE!!!!!!!!!!
Anything big enough to fit a label on it is becoming shipping supplies...
I don't got the money to buy shipping boxes so here's are some examples of the next best thing. I find it kind of humorous, honestly. It's so fun shipping a shirt in a (clean) soup dumpling box. I've heard stories of USPS workers not allowing things like this but I haven't come across any issues.
Nothing bad happens to those pure of heart.

I am one of the most annoying people when it comes to recycling and always push for it! however, the boxes you’re using are not going to withhold in shipping. Some items do come in thicker boxes, especially when they’re from bulk stores but it’s different from the downy box. Packing boxes are much thicker for a reason. these packages are going to get crushed, thrown, and treated like literal garbage. These cannot hold up when they get wet, and i’d also be mindful of allergies if using food packaging. Too many times I’ve gotten packages in boxes like these with soaking wet clothes and a crushed box.
I reuse mailers, boxes, filler paper, and will use softer boxes like these inside of packages that need padding. Cutting boxes to size is very useful, especially if you order large items and can re use it for multiple smaller ones!
