Postal Shingle

a. A postal scale for products weighting up to 2 pounds.
This would be classified as a homogeneous shopping product class. The accuracy of a postal scale is highly important. If the accuracy is off valuable time and effort as well as cost could be lost. Items being mailed may require extra postage and may not get mailed and returned to the seller to add the extra postage. Or, if an item doesn’t have enough postage a customer may be charged to cover the cost of the postage shortage. In the business product class it would be accessory equipment. A postal scale could be a direct or indirect distribution depending on the company making them.
b. Children’s toys: (1) radio-controlled model airplanes costing $80 or more, (2) small rubber balls.

We have lots of Sam’s clubs and COSCO stores here as well. Everything is very competitive here. Established retailers have a hard time expanding here and when they do it seem like they are closing their doors before long.
