By the way, that’s the cost to send one piece of paper from the US to the UK. Unfortunately, I need to send it quickly and that’s the quickest I can get it there with the reasonable options I have available to me.

    Wait, it’s a piece of paper, they can’t send it through first class mail rather than using a shipping service? Can it not be folded to put in an envelope? USPS does this for $1.65 Even if it can’t be folded, USPS does this for less than like $10

        First class mail is usually much faster than FedEx Economy. It is sometimes faster than many priority mail FedEx options (FedEx sucks)

          No other shipper would get it there that fast except DHL, which was not an option for me because it was 2 hours away and I don’t have the time to drive that far.

          I’m sure living in a town in Indiana where businesses who would normally open up in a place with this population size but don’t because the region is too poor doesn’t help.
