I have been useing Fastway for a while but more and more people want my stuff sent to PO boxes which Fastway don't. The problem is the Aus Post cardboard boxes are expensive and there are a lot cheaper through ebay. I want to start using Aus Post to send stuff as i want to print the label and attach it to the box but I don't want to buy the Aus Post ones.
Cheers

I always assume (note to self: never assume) that when posters ask this question, they are referring to the special cheaper rates for boxes and satchels - which rates are only available if you use the right box and satchel
So if I have assumed incorrectly, and you just want to use calculated postage (which is more expensive) with the ebay labels, you can use any old box.
I know some posters will say they have been using their own boxes with the special rates for some time - but not being caught doesn't make it right.

it would have been better if you had started a new thread - the info in this thread is now completely out of date.
With the new postage structure from Aust Post from 1 October, it is now very affordable to post using satchels.
For example, can you put your new box into a small satchel? In which case it will cost you $8.95 postage to anywhere in Australia.
There are several recent posts about the new postage, better have a bit of a read.
