that reminds me of an old joke: how doe the postal services make their profit? I don't get it. - Ah, that's easy. How much wieght may letters have? - 20g - And how much weight do the average letters have? - About 6g. - See? That's their profit

    It's technically a 300% margin because they are charging you for 20g but only shipping 6g.
