What is ground shipping?

Ground shipping is one of the cheapest ways you can send a package in the US. As the name would suggest, ground deliveries are made using the road networks, so your package will be loaded onto a truck and transported to its destination by road. 

You won’t get an express delivery time, but ground shipping is particularly cost-effective for shipping large items which would be expensive to ship by air. What’s more, you can make even bigger savings when you book a ground courier service through Parcel Monkey. Our ground shipping services are operated by world-renowned couriers at discounted rates. 

This page covers everything you need to know about ground shipping. Click the link to go to a specific section:

How long does ground shipping take?

Ground shipping times vary between 2-5 working days depending on where you’re sending your package from and to. If you are shipping in the same state or to a nearby one, transit times will be quicker than if you’re sending across states or to a remote location.

If your package needs to arrive by a specific date you can still benefit from the cost savings of a ground service, you’ll just need to send your package earlier to allow for the longer transit time. When you get a shipping quote through our free shipping calculator, we’ll show you an estimated delivery time for each service so you can plan accordingly.
