Seems to me foodies send (or order) foodstuffs (or kitchen
equipment) through the mail quite often. This screwball
re-do of the first-class rates throws a primate wrench into
the mailorder business. Just think about this -- you can no
longer just set your package onto the scale sitting in the
post office lobby and read off the first class mail amount.
Heck, I bet the postal workers will not be able to figure it
out for the next little while. And the mail sorters who have
to flag and remove packages with underpostage? I don't even
want to think about it. Somebody give me a pill.
