this is the product..

helium filled bubble wrap, to make your postage cheaper..

would it work?

lol its mainly a joke..

 

[RaoulDuke]

too bad there wouldn't be enough helium in each little bubble to make your voice get jacked up cause if it did, i'd buy it

 

[Colt45]

you could use hydrogen too, (slightly lighter, but it burns[dangerous])

 

[Pretender]

if you use too much the USPS would get suspicious when they saw your package rising while trying to put it on the scale...

 

[cjchaps]

What if you wrapped something up, sent it, then the person who it was sent to opened up the package and the contents floated away?

 

[Colt45]

lol there wouldnt be enough to lift much, it would basically just take off some of the weight. for companies an people that ship alot this could be good.

I've thought this would be fun, too.

One problem is that helium atoms are so small, they "leak" through the material that they're encased in. Which is why helium-filled balloons seem to deflate on their own.

 

[loup garou]

Even better: those air-bags that Amazon.com uses, filled with helium. hmm...

 

[PCResources]

Now there is a thought, the bigger the box, the lighter it gets...

Use a BIG box, thin cardboard and fill it with helium, if it weighs below 0 pounds, will i get paid?

true, but as long as it holds up while your paying postage

Hydrogen would be interesting. I imagine the UPS guys would have to get paid more since there is a good chance they could end up as grease spots on the sidewalk

that'll teach them to throw your package around

 

[cjchaps]

If the helium leaks over time, just make sure you fill it up right before you send it!

LOL, I can just see one of the package tossers taking a smoke break causing the distro center to go up in flames.

Nah, I'm pretty sure you'd see more UPS flights &quot;mysteriously crashing&quot; though...
