FedEx or UPS account
pre-printed and pre-attached label
at my usual dropoff spot they just smile and say thank you when I drop it on the counter and tell them to have a nice week. They like that they have to do less work.
at an alternate spot across town they like to ask "what are you shipping?" "Gifts. Thanks, have a good day."
I feel like some people are going in there looking guilty, and it shows.
It was pre printed and pre attached. I’ve never had issues shipping bottles before. She said it just started this week, so past shipping successes don’t really matter.
I’m sure it wasn’t that I looked guilty, she said this to me before I said a word to her.

Fwiw, I dropped my sealed, pre-labeled box off at FedEx yesterday and it was delivered to Austin today. No unusual questions or changes in policy from them.
I did find this statement from UPS in a news article related to the Austin bombings. Looks like the unsealed package thing only applies to customers who bring in a box to ship and have no prior UPS history or account.

the company implemented a temporary process for unknown shippers with unlabeled packages who wished to send a parcel at a UPS Store, company counter or other authorized service location. Packages of known shippers are not being opened. The temporary screening process requires unknown customers to tender their package open, or voluntarily open their package for visual inspection..."
