Shipments to outlying areas arrive later in the day. See our ZIP Code

Our most popular service. Ground shipments are delivered by end of day. The delivery time will vary based on a

deliveries.

small, lightweight packages. DirectPost transit days are usually one day greater than
OnTrac Ground. Packages shipped within our serviced states, but outside our immediate service area typically
arrive
in 3-5 business days.
