Chapter 28 The Delivery Problem

Finis

“Calm down for a second. The price does look good, but did you even read the shipping details? Every package shipped from Planet A001 requires an additional cross sector transfer fee of up to 10 thousand stellar coins. Ten thousand stellar coins. With that kind of money, you could just buy food at a proper f counter. This pricing feels like a scam.”

“Damn, the shipping fee alone is enough to make me back out.”

“This shipping cost is insane. I could eat at Starway Diner with that money.”

As Elizabeth scrolled through the comments one by one, the smile on her face slowly faded, replaced b complete disbelief.

She finally understood.

Why her listing had been up for so long without a single order.

Why items from the recycling station were always outrageously expensive. Why people on Garbage Pla couldn’t buy anything from Starnet even if they owned a device.

The root cause was this astronomical transfer fee.

There were no public shipping routes between Garbage Planet and the kingdom sector. The only logists channel was the recycling station’s dedicated freight route.

Any item entering or leaving Garbage Planet had to be transferred through the recycling station.

And that service was fully monopolized by them. Naturally, the fees were jaw dropping. The transfer fee for a single package was as high as 10 thousand stellar coins.

She was selling her potatoes at a discounted price of 90 stellar coins per hundred grams, Even if she sold 10 kilograms, that would only bring in 9.000 stellar coins, not even enough to cover the shipping

No wonder nobody bought anything

She had finally found a sales channel, only for it to be completely blocked by outrageous shipping fees

Elizabeth stared at the complaints about shipping costs on the holographic screen, her micul racing

Suddenly, her gaze landed on the travel schedule she had just confirmed with the recycling stauer director. Her eyes lit up.

She had an idea.

She immediately edited the product detail, her fingers flying across the holographic screen the airda bold, highlighted notice in the most eye catching spor

“This listing is for reservations only All customers who complete a reservation through this link are required to pick up their order in person between 11:00 am and 12.00 pm on the 15th at Mercury Plaza in front of the Centria Planet Freight Hubs No shipping fees required

Chapter 28 The Delivery Problem

To maximize customer interest, she even sent this message individually to every user who had complained about shipping fees. She also added an extra incentive.

“The first 20 new customers who pick up on site will receive an additional discount of 10 stellar coins | hundred grams on top of the existing 50 percent promotion. Final price: only 80 stellar coins per hun grams. Limited spots. Do not miss out.”

Her exile had already been officially lifted.

Which meant she could freely travel between planets within the kingdom from now on.

At worst, she could just pay a bit extra to keep hitching rides with the recycling station and set up a stal Centria Planet to sell in person.

As for running a stall, she was very familiar with that.

Whether it was selling spiritual plants in cultivation markets in her previous life, or setting up a booth: night markets back on old Earth even earlier, she knew this inside and out.

How to attract customers, how to display goods, how to handle bargaining. These were skills etched int her bones.

With both major worries temporarily resolved, Elizabeth felt her mood lighten considerably.

She turned her attention back to the land in front of her.

They would be departing early the morning after next, which meant tomorrow night. That left only one day before the potato harvest.

At the current growth rate, the potatoes would not be fully mature by tomorrow night

After some thought, Elizabeth added three more energy stones to the existing Spiritbound Circle.

That should allow her to harvest everything before departure.

As for the sweet potatoes she had just planted, she let them go.

Their growth cycle was two days longer than potatoes. To force them to mature before departure, she would probably have to spend another entire night cultivating the Life Growth.

It wasn’t worth it.

She hadn’t planted many sweet potatoes anyway. Aside from personal use, she planned to keep the rest as

seed stock.

She looked around at the vast open land in front of her, easily several dozen acres.

Since settling here, she had already mentally claimed this land as her own.

But leaving it completely open made her uncasy

What if someone claimed it before she had time to fully develop it?
