A tale of a HBT trade box:
I received both of these boxes in trades, the first from @val214, the second from @bigmike99.

The bigger box was in better shape than the smaller, but the smaller perfectly fit the cardboard bottle shipper inside. So I stuck one inside the other, put peanuts in between them and shipped to @thatjonguy. He returned my beer in same box.
Re packed same box, shipped to @medicmang . He returned my beer in, you guessed it: the same box.
That box is currently sitting on @geoffey 's porch in MN. Probably close to retirement, but who knows.
I think these boxes get a good ride. And excellent reuse.
