Competitive rates and fewer fees

Our Ground rates are based on zone, so as long as you know where your packages are going, you’ll have no surprises on the rate. In addition to great rates, you’ll save money with fewer and lower accessorial fees than the national carriers.

Expansive next-day footprint

Our Ground service provides you with next-day delivery over a much larger geography; areas that require 3-4 days with the worldwide carriers can be reduced by at least a day.

Flexible pickup options

We understand that the workday doesn’t end at 5 p.m. for everyone; that’s why we offer later pickups for your Ground shipments. We also make it easy for you to schedule your pickups, which you may simply handle online or through a quick phone call to our customer service center.
