[pct-l] shipping fuel canisters

[Ken Powers]

It should work. The rule really is that you didn't take possession of the 
box/canister/package. Most postal clerks have let us take the box away from 
the window with our resupply box. We then returned and forwarded the 
unopened, but re-addressed box.

We have have postal clerks let us forward an opened and resealed package. 
But I think that is not the way it is supposed to happen and I do not expect 
it.

We have had 1 postal clerk not let us forward an unopened box. As soon as he 
handed it to us we had to pay more postage. That was not on the PCT, and 
that post office is no longer open.

Re: Bounce Box free if unopened.   I'd like to know if that's a fact.  If
so, is that only for bounce BOXES or is that also true for bounce BUCKETS?

Thanks,
Kolby
