It always cracks me up...

...when they have those stupid commercials praising the virtues of Priority Mail Flat Rate shipping. Sure, it's fast, it's easy, it costs almost twice as much as shipping in a regular Priority Mail box... And the boxes are SMALL. Too small to fit most items that weigh over 2 lbs. They say, "Starts at $4.95!" but the $4.95 box is so tiny that you can't even fit a DVD in it.

I suppose they'd be all right for people mailing bowling balls and decks of playing cards made out of cast iron.

Maybe a better commercial would be, "Hey, you bored housewife selling cookies over the internet! Save the money you're wasting on overpriced flat-rate shipping and use it to buy yourself a postal scale!"
