If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.
Let me see if I understand this? If you cross the North Korean border illegally, you get 12 years hard labor; the Iranian border illegally you are detained indefinitely. If you cross the US border illegally, you get a driver’s license, a social security card, welfare, food stamps, free health care!

Way To Go,
Do you have a strategy for the next box?
I hope you are able to bust through the 2 Cent barrier!
PS - If you happen upon good luck, push it. Go hog wild and plunk an FRN from the sale down on the Lotto. |
There's profit if you melt things!!

You sold it with free shipping, so you have to discount the cost involved.
What will it cost to ship that? I imagine it won't be cheap to ship 50 lbs. That poor mailman! |

| If you use preprinted shipping through your PayPal account you can get the shipping down to $9.30.. and you get free delivery confirmation. Be sure to check for my post in the members only section on the proper way to ship pennies and you will be fine on shipping. |

My postal carrier picks up the mail on a broomstick (if you know what I mean). I use to do alot of sales online so I have had to deal with her at various times before. Usually if someone orders late in the day after I schedule the pickup, she won't take the package unless its on her list to pickup. Or sometimes I only have media mail and she told me if it wont fit in the mail box she wont take it without at least 1 priority mail package as well.
Today will be sweet! I have 5 media mail packages as well but I am taking those to the post office on my way to work. Dont want her dropping a 50 pound box on top of a record album! |
