the 25lb statement

As outlined in The world’s most epic bank statement, My favorite day of the month is bank statement day at my company. There is a combination of two silly things which have a hilarious result.

We do hundreds of thousands of searches with the DMV every month, who charge us a fee by credit card for each transaction, and gives us no other payment method

Silicon Valley Bank gives us no paperless billing option for our account

The result is, on the 16th of every month, we get an incredibly epic bank statement that costs ~$40 in shipping. This has been happening every month now for the past 6 months.

question: what costs $41 to ship ~10 miles?

answer: our epic bank statement

gets me every time

so many wasted trees :(

Fun side note: the E-statement takes 30+ minutes to download because it’s huge and their servers are really slow!
