Good info regarding USPS measurements. All the carriers seem to use a similar way. The "dimensional weight" idea really sucks. When I complained about being charged for a box that a new seat spring came in, for 58 lbs, and I weighed it and it weighed 12, they (UPS) said that size box can hold up to 58 lbs.

OT
I used to belong to the PCA back in the 1980s, (I drove a new turbo literally off the showroom floor) At that time most of the questions were about what kind of wax was best, so 1 year of that was enough for me. My "sports car phase" didn't last much over 6 years. I am more of a "hands on wrenches" type. One nice perc though was "track day" when we could run the cars on the local road race course outside of Seattle.
