UPS ground is a domestic shipping service for sending packages and boxes in the US, and is particularly cost-effective for shipping large and heavy items, due to the generous weight limits.
If you’re sending a large box from one state to another, UPS Ground is likely to be your cheapest option and includes full online tracking to delivery, plus the option to have your box collected from your home or work address by a UPS courier.
Packages/boxes can be up to 130lbs in weight, 165 inches in length and girth combined and 108 inches in length.
UPS Ground is not an express service, however, delivery times can be as quick as 2 days, depending on where you’re shipping from and to. Generally, when you book UPS Ground, you should allow 2-5 business days for your package to be delivered.
If you’re looking for a service that’s faster than UPS Ground, USPS Priority Mail may be a bit quicker, but the weight limit only goes up to 70lbs, so if you’re sending a box that’s heavier than that, you’ll need to consider an express service with UPS or FedEx. Both of these shipping companies offer overnight shipping services which can cater for large packages.
