What happens if you taped that to a cinderblock wrapped in brown paper? They're not prepaid, they get billed for whatever is mailed.

"Dumb as a box of rocks" contains an accurate descriptor, and a suggestion.

That would be glorious... be like

"hi postal worker, can I help you lift that in your truck?"

No. Those are thrown away per the USPS.

If and only if the USPS can identify it readily as a prank package.

It would be serious violation to discard mail on the suspicion that the package was too heavy.

If it's over 13 oz, they'd return it.

There's no "suspicion," they just weigh it. If you attached a brick, you'd likely get a visit from police or Secret Service, considering.

Regulations are currently over 10oz or more than .5 inches thick. Not that i'm encouraging this practice. Just saying

So make it a 13 oz brick or sheet of lead or what have you.

Why would you get a visit from the secret service for doing something that is:

  • common

  • not harmful

  • addressed to a private company
