There is a bank in Vernal Utah that used over 80,000 bricks sent via the USPS as the cheapest way to ship at the time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vernal,_Utah

I believe it’s the Galapogus Islands that has the post box relying on tourists that visit. A system that started long ago with sailors

Wow you would have thought that missile mail would be a bit over the top. I bet now it wouldn't even be possible with all the health and safety forms. It makes you wonder too about the people who decide to mail other people rather than take them normally. fire risk assessments

Missle mail would be awesome, but I can see why its not done anymore. Nevermind the cost, imagine an ICBM-sized missle carrying thousands of letters and a few packages. Our enemies would take advatage and paint “USPS” on every one they send!

@widdersyns (187): When I was very, very young, I remember being in a large department store, seeing those pneumatic tubes in use. The lady behind the glass counter, which seemed both to sparkle and be dim and dark at the same time, put my mum's money in a holder, which she placed in the tube, and it swooped away. Soon it returned with some change in it. I remember walking through the store with the tubes going everywhere! I wanted to shrink myself so I could ride in one. Weird reminder from childhood...I couldn't have been more than three.
