So you say you want to use the slowest and cheapest possible mailing service to ship that box?
Yeah. I bought a new monitor and it had a defective adapter. They sent me a new one but they are making me pay for shipping the defective one back to them.
Well, we have the "Slow Boat to China" service. Delivery will be within 1 to 2 years. That is, unless it gets stolen by Manchurian bandits en route, which is likely. It costs 3 cents. How's that?
I dunno. Do you have anything slower and cheaper?
The best I can do for you is "Continental Drift" service, which is free. With that service, your package should reach Toledo in about 130 million years or so.
That'll do nicely. Thank you.
