You can mail a letter to Alaska and it'll be there in 2 days and it'll cost you less than a dollar. Or just send an email.

I am sure that Drake is the kind of guy who buys stamps in line at the store, and then when he is told the price is like "Are you sure that is the right price?" like someone mislabeled an apple in the produce section and you are charging me for a premium apple when I want the moderate apple that tastes fine when you bite into it but also has an aftertaste like you did a burp and something else came up a little. He then has to be shown the tag on there and it says "Stamps, 55 cents each" and then he's like "Well, why did no one tell me?" and then he pays with a check as the person behind him starts loading his items back into his cart so he can go to a different checker because you KNOW he is asking for money back and then you have to show identification and he's going to count that $50 to make sure.

55 cents is still a bargain to Alaska sure but I still get pissed junk mail comes to me for less.

You should know that for first class packages they now charge based on zones. So your Alaska price on a package under 1 lb. is going to be more than shipping to Indiana.

I don't pay with checks ever at the grocery store. But I have made the mistake of buying an organic item that was more than I thought it was going to be because it was organic and I thought it was the regular thing. The sneaky people at Aldi put their organic produce on the end cap.
