USPS Priority Mail Simulator

To strengthen the US Postal Service's position in online brand equity, as well as stimulate more use of the site and e-commerce sales, they launched the Virtual Box Simulator.

Users print a little eagle off the website, switch on their web cams and launch the Virtual Box Simulator. They then place the eagle in front of the screen until a virtual box appears.

The customer can then hold an item up to their cameras and see whether it fits inside the box, which will move as the item moves. Varying degrees of box transparency can be selected, to see best what the item will look like inside the package; package options include Large Flat-Rate Box, Medium 2 Flat-Rate Box and Small Flat-Rate Box.

Prices are listed on the site, and boxes can be ordered directly from the interface.
Again a few steps to set up, but makes selecting and purchasing on line a breeze.
