Rod and Karen banter about seeing a deer, Frost Nixon, long lines for ice cream, Star Wars was right about politics, Karen’s trip to the DMV and an eventful trip to the post office. Then they discuss right leaning media dominating the online sphere, Marc Maron calling out Bill Maher and sword ratchetness.

Nothing makes me happier than watching an interaction with a bad customer, and being the next person in line who gets to commiserate with the employee. It’s the ultimate high.
I also hate when a person in line tries to loudly complain about the service to me – I turn into Hellen Keller real fast. You not about to get me caught up because you’re impatient!
Great story, I love hearing stuff like that.
Having said that, I get that your whole experience ended up being very cool, but you may not want to go through that every time.
Oh boy, yeah I help a musician friend with fulfilling his merch orders and when I heard Rod say he would send the posters international I cringed!! International postage is RIDICULOUSLY expensive!
USPS is definitely the best option in most cases, but you need to get prepaid labels so you can just drop them in the box at your post office (or if they don’t have those, just hand them over without the pain of negotiating a purchase).
My favorite service for this is Pirate Ship (https://www.pirateship.com/), it’s free and does a great job of leading you through the process. Just buy a cheap scale to weigh your packages and you’re in business! Strangely, the USPS site itself doesn’t give you all of the options such as first class mail or media mail (media mail is SO CHEAP if you’re sending only items like books, vinyl albums, CDs, DVDs, etc. that are heavy).
