Well my boxes came. Ordered the 3 plus 1 of the 2 sizes. Came in 2 sealed boxes direct from the UPS wharehouse in Vernon Hills. They were each short a couple of boxes and some were bundled and others weren't. To me it seams like they were rejects. Interesting.

I didn't order boxes but did order some labels and they were sent to me /netdropshipper on label from UPS.
Interesting fact is that UPS is aware this is going on and they are investigating their free supplies being sold on Ebay. I would not be suprised it Won't be long before the supplies will not be available to honest sellers unless you jump through hoops.

I bought one order (50 boxes) of the larger size. They didn't look to be factory packed.
Nice boxes, will be perfect for books.
They were sent FedEx Ground. I received email notification with FedEx tracking number. The number was transmitted to FedEx on 2/13, the package wasn't picked up from the sender intil 2/20.

I received both boxes yesterday. There were two large boxes with some bundles and some loose boxes inside. There was also a ton of packing peanuts in the larger boxes and the label had the sellers return address on it.
It didn't look like UPS packing with thepeanuts but who knows....I did receive them and they are perfect for magazines and books which is what I bought them for.

Some box seller will turn it in. No matter UPS is investigating all this goings on at ebay anyway. I forsee UPS supplies going on the list of unacceptable items to sell very soon. I also see great big lettering with UPS all over the boxes inside and out, and a big UPS logo on labels that can't be cut off.
