Totally amazing 'mail phreaking.'

I like the idea of making a D20 box, with postage and addresses on each side... and sending it out...

Could be a new way to "Win" a contest.

I once got burnt by a customer that gave me a 'confirmed' address that was actually WRONG - the zip code was not right, but the address was and the real zip and the fake one were both in the same city....but the post office routed the letter so that she got it and was able to confirm.

Consequently, she bought something FROM me - and I sent it to her CONFIRMED address - but of course the d/c was scanned in as delivered to a DIFFERENT zip code, hence it was NOT delivered to the confirmed address, and when she filed for non-receipt -which was an instant refund if not to a confirmed address - I was screwed.

I've sent out well over 3k packages and this was the ONE real scam that burned me up. This chick was doing this coming and going for a while.

Anyway, there's some more fodder to play with.
