Someone mailed me something in a photo mailer from the post office. The buck twenty-nine price is a little high but hey, convenience, right?
What caught my eye was the barcode on the back. Seems our pals at the Post Office are too cheap to buy a company prefix from GS1 and use number system 4 which is reserved for in-house use. Product code (SKU) is 94009284 and voila, there's your barcode number.
Even odder is that the 5-digit supplemental isn't the price, otherwise it would be 50129 following Bookland rules.
And perhaps most upsetting of all is that this item is made in Mexico. So much for supporting domestic manufacturers.
