Lower prices in Oil and Gas will regulate the price of shipping goods across the country. This won't happen immediately but trickle down to the consumer in lower prices for goods and transportation. I love it!4950

Who sent it?

BOTH a red UPS label, AND U.S. mail postage???

It couldn't have been sent by another government office, could it?

This thread caught my attention, however, the significance of a "Red"
has totaly lost me. Is this a Postal Thing ? I appologize in advance for
my ignorance on the topic. Maybe a little clarification would help. :confused:

Red is postal lingo for a registered package.

I was thinking this was a gold bar but the math ain't working out.

What is gold going for now days?

When dropped it sounded like a steel plate.

Edit: That didn't sound good did it?

It took 2 of us to lift it.

A 67 lb package costs about $60 to mail. The fee for registered mail is $42.10 for the first 25K in value and $1.20 for each additional thousand up to 15 million.

So $60 + $42.10 is $102 leaving $12. So the value of the "thing" in the package was around $35K.

Really...whats gold going for?

16 oz in a lb times 67 lbs = 1072 oz times $733 =...

It couldn't have been a gold bar could it?

What about silver?

67 pound is exactly one kilo. 1 kilo 977 = troy oz, times $9.49 = $9271

For gold, 977 x $733 = $716,000
