What is USPS Parcel Select Ground?<\/h2>\n\n\n

As of July 9, 2023, Retail Ground, Parcel Select, and domestic First-Class Package Service will be combined into USPS Ground Advantage\u2122. Visit our blog for more information!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

USPS Parcel Select Ground is one of the least expensive but slowest USPS services<\/a> offered. If a definitive delivery date or timeline is not necessary, Parcel Select Ground is a cost-effective way to ship. Domestic delivery averages 2-8 business days, but this method does not come with a guarantee. Delivery times could vary and may be delayed. Like most other USPS shipping methods now, USPS Parcel Select Ground shipping rates<\/b> are determined by weight and zone-based distance the package is traveling. Though this method comes with free delivery confirmation, there is an added fee for insurance, adult signature, and signature confirmation.<\/p>\n\n\n

The maximum weight for Parcel Select Ground is 70 lbs. Pieces exceeding 108 inches, but not more than 130 inches in combined length and girth, are mailable at the Parcel Select Ground oversized price for the zone to which addressed. Those that exceed the maximum allowed size may be subject to a surcharge. For packages that measure larger than one cubic foot, dimensional weight will also apply.<\/p>\n\n\n

When should I use USPS Parcel Select Ground, if at all?<\/h2>\n\n\n

To answer this question, you\u2019ll want to be sure to compare USPS Parcel Select Ground rates<\/span><\/a> to other applicable shipping methods. In the case of shipping items that must go ground, such as restricted items, it might be your only option. Compared to Priority Mail, even with the decreased <\/span>USPS Parcel Select Ground rates<\/b><\/span> this year, the cost difference may not outweigh the short turnaround, more guaranteed delivery window, and general reliability of Priority Mail. The only area you see a major difference is packages going to Zone 9. For example:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
