Priority mail boxes from USPS?

I have never shipped any packages. I heard that if you ship priority mail that the boxes are free. Is that true? Also, can i go to the post office and get the boxes and then put whatever I need to send at home and then come back and get the postage and send? Thank you. Oh and the packages are for various things. Example: cell phones, games (video systems and games)

1. Yes, it IS true, and yes, you can go in, get boxes and then post them to mail later at your convenience. I mail lots of things and the boxes being there and free is awesome!
2. yes go to the post office and they will have a free display in the lobby area; bags, boxes, labels, etc,.
3. Better yet, you don't have to go get the boxes. you can go to usps.com/shipping and order boxes, flat rate envelopes (which are cheaper than boxes to mail) and they will delivery it right to your door. The flat rate envelopes are 4.05 to mail and you can fit cell phones and games into them. The boxes are 8.10 to mail.
