How can I reuse amazon boxes?

Question

I get a lot of Amazon deliveries (living in the boonies). I would love to see some reuse ideas for them. They come in all different sizes so it would be great if that information is included.

Pinterest search Upcycle boxes. I have seen people cut the lids off, use fabric or wallpaper or even decopage' glued to the outside, maybe a layer of fabric inside for a finished look, and use for storage around the house. This is a great way to clear the 'cluttered' look, and create a unified decor on say, a bookshelf.

I also have this problem. I also do most of my shopping through Amazon. Their boxes are such high quality, it seems a shame not to reuse them rather than just recyle. I get far too many to reuse myself. I guess they would be great for small businesses shipping things, or perhaps people who sell on Ebay.......Millions of dollars are ending up in recycle centers rather than being reused. I don't really want to put them on Craigslist, since I don't want strangers traipsing around my property. I even mentioned the problem to amazon when they wanted feedback about their packaging.

Since I love to garden and mulch my beds and shrubs yearly, I use broken down cardboard boxes under the mulch, especially where there is a reoccurring weed problem.

Recently; I saw a project where the box was wrapped entirely in heavy twine glued directly to the outside of the box. When finished; the crafter made a cloth liner (such as those seen in baskets) and created what looked almost like a basket. The nice thing about this is you can create a box just the size you need.
