<p>What follows below, I copied directly from USMMA Colorado Parent Club site...
Please note that one must register at the USP site to order items...I had NO LUCK registering and after several attempts all followed by NO response, I gave up! Oh well, I guess I am off to either FedEX or UPS (not to be confused with USP!)</p>

<p>You can order Priority Mailing Boxes from the US Post Office that are free and delivered to your home.* They are delivered in a box that holds 25 boxes.* Because they are flat, they are actually quite compact--about 4-5 inches wide:* Free USPS Priority Mailing Boxes Shipped to Your Home Also, don't forget to order the free labels that go with them Free USPS Priority Mailing Labels One of the best deals going for heavier items are the 2 sizes of Flat Rate Priority Mailing Boxes: 12"x3.5"x14" or 11"x8.5"x5.5" -- "Any weight, any State, $7.70. No matter which Flat Rate Box you choose, the postage is $7.70, regardless of weight or destination"* These save you a bundle for heavier items!Here is a Word File that you might try for printing up a batch of Pre-addressed Priority Mailing Labels for the USPS Priority Mailing labels.* You may have to work on the margins, etc to get this to work with your printer--if so, save it to file and open with word.* Try it with regular sheets of paper to get an idea of how to feed the labels.* If you get a message that the margins are outside of the printable area of the page when you begin the printing, just ignore it.You may also want to invest in a 3M Tape Dispenser Grip--these are sold at places like Sam's Club."...</p>

<p>Maybe try again later with registering with USPS. Could be they were doing some maintenance to their site at the time you were trying. You can also go to the post office and order the boxes on a form there. Or atleast you can at our post office. They can direct you I'm sure. It does save costs! My whole family sends boxes to any soldier.com. We pack the boxes so heavily that it would cost 20 bucks to send if it weren't for the free boxes and the 7.70 flat rate.</p>
