If prospective parents were to tally the cost of having a baby before they conceived, the U.S. population would undoubtedly suffer a serious decline. Just consider: According to a 2010 USDA report, the average middle-income family will spend roughly $12,000 on child-related expenses in their babyâs first year of life. By age two, parents are up to more than $12,500 per year.
Best Answer: Standard delivery means that no measures are taken to expedite the delivery. It is the regular price if you will. In many cases expedited delivery and standard delivery are exactly the same. UPS Standard delivery is ground and is 7-10 days. USPS is 3-5 days.
