A Penny Earned?

For three straight trips to United Parcel Service to ship three small packages - I am not making this up - the shipping cost each time was exactly $11.92. The weights were about the same although the contents and exact size of the packages varied slightly. Still: three straight times where the charges were identical? "Maybe it's just a minimum charge," me brother Phil suggested.

I blew that theory out of the water with a fourth parcel. When the girl behind the counter told me to insert my debit card into the reader I saw - I am still not making anything up - that the charge that time was Eleven Dollars and Ninety One Cents. One. Penny. Off.

What are the chances of that, I ask?
