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.

    It’s made exceptionally worse because it’s heading toward Christmas. Most likely the plane on the 17th was already sold and filled, they’re now sending a second plane which is not full and there’s a premium to put stuff on it because it costs them more to fly it than your sheet of paper accounts for.

      This piece of paper better be getting served caviar and Bordeaux on the plane in a fully reclining skybed for that price
