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.

    When Canada Post was still alive, this used to happen a lot when using their parcel service.

    I would check all available options, because the ones you’d expect to be cheap often ended up being more expensive and take longer to get to the destination, and the cheap options don’t give you perks like free parcel insurance.

    OP, I also love how much you save by letting them deliver just a few hours later!

      Yeah. Unfortunately, I want to get it to them as quickly as possible because I want them to get all this done before they’re closed for Christmas, so I paid extra.
