Printing the shipping labels takes about 3 minutes, counting typing them up at 40 WPM. Oh, and walking it over to the outgoing bin is a minute. But let's pretend they hire the handicapped and assume that they can only push 5 an hour (12 minutes to do a 5 minute job). And let's assume they pay decent: $10 per hour. Handling should STILL cost only $2. So the cost to ship it should be $7.75. and you get it in 2-3 days. "Wait a minute..why do you assume a slow worker has to be handicapped????</blockquote>
