If you&#x27;ve ever looked at the packaging and the documents around it, it&#x27;s very clear that what you&#x27;re saying just isn&#x27;t the case.  They are individual parcels.  I&#x27;m sure the post offices involved stuff a bunch of them into the same container (it goes by air not by sea, by the way.  So we&#x27;re talking air mail containers, not 40ft shipping containers.) when they send it, but that&#x27;s true of <i>any</i> package.<p>I understand why you would speculate these things are true, but all the evidence seems to indicate that none of those speculations are correct.<p>And yes, USPS may be losing money on those packages, but that doesn&#x27;t really matter to the shipper and certainly doesn&#x27;t show up in the product pricing.
