> UPS won’t ship a kilogram across the country for $10.

I can purchase produce grown on a different continent for less than that at the grocery store so something isn't right here.

It was a metaphor for how absurd the statement was. But if you try to ship a 1kg package across the country it will likely cost way more than $10.

Freight cost is certainly way lower.
