FedEx has absolutely no clue what 'economy' means.
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
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.
