Circular Logic

We just received some adorable new umbrellas (with matching backpacks) and were preparing to put them online. But we just wanted to double-check how much the freight would be - a Posten "paket" is much more expensive than a "stort brev". So I found out... that if the umbrellas are packed in a mailing tube, they can be sent as a "stort brev" for a reasonable price - but only if the tube is round. If the tube is exactly the same length but square, then it can't be sent as a letter, and must be sent as a package, which costs more than twice as much. Really. If you were Posten, would you rather have a bunch of round tubes rolling around, or would you rather have something you can stack easily? Go figure. Anyway, now we have umbrellas AND round tubes so we're ready! Enjoy the next rainy day -
