This may be a spin-off from the brick urban legend, but I read/heard that it is/was cheaper to mail a brick to the remote parts of Alaska than to ship them any other way.
I think I had read something recently about people mailing building material in the US in the early 20th century being part of the reason for instigating the parcel post.
Have to look it up.
