USPS Shipping Has Entered Nonsense World

Shop our eBay store: https://ebay.us/RGj1W6 This is our fourth packing session in two days, and we start with a great viewer question: How much faster can two people pack orders compared to one person working alone? We talk about how we divide the work, whether filming slows us down, and the situations where a two-person packing team can be nearly twice as efficient. Candice also sold one of her 3D-printed mushroom houses, so we discuss custom colors, possible Shed Flips magnets, and ways she could display more of her creations. Then the new USPS Ground Advantage rates completely take over the conversation. We find packages where adding weight actually lowers the shipping price, including a 5-pound Ground Advantage package that costs less than Media Mail. We try to make sense of the strange pricing, rural delivery adjustments, and whether USPS could change these rates again. Along the way, we reuse a telescoped box for a long fingerboard ramp, prepare a mountain of packages for the post office, and make a highly questionable plan involving a bodycam and our future YouTube play button.
