Is this an good example of an opportunity cost? Why or why not? “To begin, I began selling prints of my pictures in 2019 throughout 2020. USPS and UPS were the options I had during this period to ship out orders. I chose to ship my orders via UPS rather than USPS since it had the choice to ship orders internationally. While USPS is cheap and has fast shipping. Shipping the orders with UPS did not ship orders out on time, orders were damaged, and spending a large bulk of money getting these orders shipped out. The opportunity cost is the benefit of using USPS services.”
