UPS Basic is a code phrase used by the ding dongs at Midway to describe the worlds slowest shipping system since the Pony Express. Essentially, UPS takes your package, drives it all over the country, then drops it off at the local post office. Naturally, you can't actually go to the post office to pick up your package, you have to wait for them to sort it out of all the other packages UPS delivered and then they will deliver it to you.

As near as I can tell, it added three days to the shipping time.
