Google Map Envelopes
What an awesome concept! I want these now! :) They are attractive and so useful! You know those packages that get delivered to the incorrect address, with one of these, you could potentially zoom in to the street view, or city view and show the correct address in map form to the delivery person. Awesome!

FedEx, UPS & USPS Dimensional Weight Explained
Ahh, my favorite subject, yours to I presume? Dimensional weight, when you get charged the 30lb rate for a 2lb package, welcome to Dimensional weight shipping. A 2lb package ships from Florida to California costs $7.00, a 30lb package $27.92. A big difference, huh? The package in question is a 2lb product, packaged in a box measuring 22"x22"x12", due to it's "large" size, it calculates to a dimensional weight of 30lbs. Now lets say if we packed this product into a slightly smaller box, say a 21"x20"x12" box, we would be charged the 2lb rate, not the 30lb rate, as this box size is the largest we can send without incurring the dimensional weight charge. So by shaving about 3" in box, we saved $20.92. So be sure to pay attention to box size when shipping!
Here is a great article better explaing the Who, What & Why of Dimensional Weight Chipping used by FedEx, UPS, and USPS.

Are UPS tracking updates accurate?
That is the question I found myself asking when reading an article this morning.
Here is a small exerpt frm the article:
"UPS's tracking log had my goods breaking the laws of physics. It showed an "arrival scan" in Newark, NJ, at 6:27 a.m. But three minutes later, at 6:30 a.m., my box was listed as being in Louisville, KY. The two cities are 642 miles apart."
