Economy shipping times within the US range from 2-5 business days. When shipping within the same state, you can expect your package to arrive more quickly than shipping across states, or to a remote area. So if you’ve got the time to spare, save on delivery costs with Economy!
Shipping internationally with Economy is a bit more of a stretch, with delivery ranging between 5-18 business days. You can still save on shipping when you choose an Economy service, but be aware of international delivery times when deciding if this is the right option for your needs.
Say yes to Parcel Monkey prices for your business, and with Pro you can relax knowing that delivery is the least of your customer’s concerns. Manage delivery timeframes and tracking details, navigate shipping in one user-friendly dashboard, and even connect multiple stores for free.

There are a few Economy shipping options to consider when delivering within the US. Most of our big couriers, like FedEx and UPS, offer slower delivery for cheaper rates. If time isn’t a factor with your package, it’s worth considering one of these services.
For US domestic shipments, these services are often called Ground Shipping, as they transport your parcel via the road network.
There are other Economy options, such as Priority Mail with USPS for your regular-sized packages. Compare prices below, and choose the service that best suits your needs!
Shipping overseas always costs a little more, but there are still options for inexpensive international shipping when you choose an Economy shipping service. You’ll have to wait a little longer for delivery, but with our low prices that might just be the best choice.
If your package is time-sensitive, then Economy shipping probably isn’t the solution for you. However, Parcel Monkey works with some of the most reliable couriers, and with something for everyone, you’ll be able to find a delivery service that best suits your needs!

Both services are great options, and it just comes down to what best suits your needs! Can’t quite risk the delayed delivery times? Check out Standard shipping, or some of our more express services. Shipping in advance and looking to save money? You’re in the right place.

Economy shipping services still come with tracking, but often it is limited to a scan on the package when it is collected, a second scan once it has been received and sorted and sometimes a scan upon delivery.
Economy packages are normally shipped in bulk to keep the price down, so this is why scanning is more limited compared to an Express or Expedited delivery service.
