And I have to stand in the line that is way too long because they won't open the other registers at the post office (the postal worker told me that union rules prevent them from opening other registers and serving customers in a timely fashion). <abbr><em>dmarks´s last blog post..<a href="http://inaholdingpattern.blogspot.com/2009/01/signs-you-live-in-cold-country-ii.html" rel="nofollow">Signs you live in the cold country (II)</a></abbr></em> I’ve been told that the online postage thing won’t do media mail, which means it is worthless to me.

Primarily they (the theories) start with the human tendency to be lazy and greedy and then build on that. I would sell you the rest of my theory for a million dollars, but I'd rather nap right now.

If you can stick anything into a big, padded envelope instead of a box, it'll be far cheaper. Heelies probably wouldn't have worked but just fyi if you ever have something else that will. I used to box everything I shipped out for Ebay but now I put as much into envelopes as I can (and the envelopes are cheap....the big manila ones, padded or with those bubble-popper-thingies). <abbr><em>BlondeBlogger´s last blog post..<a href="http://ablondeandherblog.blogspot.com/2009/01/jackie-debra-and-stephanie-berger.html" rel="nofollow">Jackie, Debra and Stephanie Berger</a></abbr></em> It’s the whole box vs. envelope deal.
