Piker. *Real* practitioners of this sport would attach a business-reply
label (basically a postcard you can affix to a package) to a *brick*, thus
easily sticking the recipient for US$5 or more, of course worth a lot more
backintheday.
For many years now, though, anything like either case is officially
classified as "waste", which means the USPS throws it out before it ever
gets anywhere, same as happens when you dump your trash into a mailbox. I
suppose Canada Post does the same.
