Funny observation: As part of the process of scanning a package into their tracking system, the postal clerk must also weigh the package. The clerk can't just place the package on the scale and scan it because the package weight doesn't register (weight in increments of ounces). So the clerk drops the package from a height of about 12 inches onto the scale, where the impact leaves a reading of 1 or 2 oz. Then he/she can scan it.

I suppose I could have used a bubble lined envelope instead, but I've seen too many package contents go awry in the postal system. Also of note, my supplier ran short of boxes, so someone is going to be surprised to see their order arrive in a VHS cassette mailer...
