Any suggestions on what to do with FedEx supplies?

[sidmand]

For my work I used to ship a ton of stuff and got a bunch of supplies but then my work lessened and then most people asked for electronic files instead of hardcopies and I just haven't been FedExing as much as I did. But I just started cleaning out my office and found a TON of supplies—boxes, padded envelopes, flat mailers, etc.

I have been doing some eBay selling and used some to wrap inside other stuff, but that's only a handful. I could offer them on Freecycle? I might use some in the future but it'd probably take YEARS to use all of it (if I ever do!). Any good suggestions on what to do with all of that? Would someone like it? At the time they were free (may still be, I haven't checked lately) so you may still be able to get them for free and wouldn't need them?

Can you just bring the supplies back to a Fedex Office?

I thought about that too. They're not in their original boxes anymore though and that might be more of a pain to them. Not even sure they haven't changed their packaging (these are probably a few years old).

Maybe a school would want them? Our kindergarten does a post office unit where they turn the dramatic play area into a post office, and they would love to have boxes and envelopes for pretend mailing.

Awesome idea. DS' daycare just did a post office unit, too. Bet they would have loved to have similar supplies.
