| Ways to Save Time versus Cost There are many cases where the Ground transit may be the same, or even faster than some expedited services. For example, an order placed that is 1 day away by Ground has the same transit time as regular Next Day Air or Overnight shipment. A 2 Lb. package, with a 1 day Ground transit time is in the $11 range. Overnight is in the $45 range with the same transit time and package weight. Selecting Ground would result in a $34 savings. Priority Mail has a 2 to 3 day transit time. It is often the best value for packages weighing up to 4 Lbs. Ground transit times are very reliable. Although rare, delayed packages with ground occur more often than with expedited methods. Next Day Air and Overnight are better options for added assurance. It is also important to note that 2 and 3 day expedited options may actually slow down time in transit to destinations with a 1 day Ground transit time. We make every effort to alert customers of potential savings when we see a more cost-effective selection can be made. Compare Time in Transit Maps USPS, UPS and FedEx have some different ground times in transit depending on destination with a minimal price difference in many cases.
