I ordered diet root beer

It took a surprisingly long time - weeks - for delivery.

Four bottles arrived in two separate boxes and the protecting/padding was 8 different padded flat rate envelopes.

If you go to the post office and BUY these envelopes, each one will cost you $9.35.

That means I paid Walmart roughly twelve dollars for the soda, and USPS paid roughly $74 to ship it.

What is going ON out there?

Why not just go to the grocery store, buy it on sale and bring it home. Your only waiting time is for it to cool in your refrigerator.
@Musicman Because I don’t drive. I don’t drive because I was putting YOU in potential danger. They COULD just deliver it with the rest of my grocery order but they don’t because diet root beer is manufactured on a distant planet.

@Mamapolo2016 Now that is a very good reason. God bless you 🙏 My wife is handicapped and doesn't drive anymore either.
