From USPS: How to properly re-use a box for shipping

Five months ago, an eBay seller drop shipped me 4 UVB reptile bulbs. Now every month exactly on the 12th, I get the same shipment because they apparently left Petco's repeat-delivery enabled. The packing slips show they're being charged $100 monthly. I continue to message them monthly to no response

The amount of non payers is just ridiculous, some of them with high feedback. My set limit was 2 strikes in last 12 monts. And I'm a small seller with average 150 sales a year.
