The USPS has a new service called Ground Advantage that is 2-5 day delivery throughout the US. This compares with Priority Mail that is 1-3 days. We think this service will be a huge win for the USPS® and provides more options to clients. First-Class Package Service® was one of their fastest growing because it had ounce rates vs. other services that were by the pound. We did not see typical clients utilizing the other ground services and clients would default to Priority Mail when items were heavier. Now there will be another option that clients can use for significant savings that can be competitive against the private carriers. Below is some more background information.
