Product placement

Trade Me Courier: it is a service that allows users to book, track, and pack items for delivery across New Zealand. It is shown as a pop-up on a website, and its interface is visible. Removing it would change what happens in the video because it is the solution presented to the user. New Zealand Post: it is a postal service that the creator compares their shipping costs to. It merely appears as a point of comparison, and removing it would not change what happens in the video.

Transcript

This is quite possibly the best life hack ever. I just went to drop this off at my local post office and it was $25. And I was like, oh, like, it's okay, I didn't mind. I'll ship it myself because I knew for a fact, like I could do it much cheaper. I jumped online to Trade Me Book a Courier, which is exactly the same system that they use with New Zealand Post for this, $13.68. And they pick it up from your house. Literally the biggest hack ever. I have saved $12. That's the biggest hack ever.
