- jeromegv 6y agoCanadian perspective, I have used those boxes within the Canadian system with Canada Post. This law is not applicable in Canada so once those USPS box make it all the way here, there's nothing they can do to prevent it from being used.

- asadlionpk 6y ago> Misuse may be a violation of federal law. Why does it say "may". Is it or is it not? I guess depends on the misuse?
