USPS Ground Advantage

What is USPS Ground Advantage?

For shippers looking for the most economical ground delivery, USPS Ground Advantage is the best option available. It provides a low-cost option to bulk deliver packages using the Postal Service's standard ground delivery service. 

If you are delivering more fragile items, USPS Ground Advantage may not be the best option for you. The parcels are shipped by ground and regularly handled, meaning they are more exposed to damage than other means of delivery and shipping.

USPS Ground Advantage price is determined by weight, dimensions, and distance. The maximum weight is 70 lbs. The maximum combined length and girth is 130". USPS Ground Advantage also supports Cubic pricing for items less than 20 lbs and up to 1 cubic foot in volume.

USPS Ground Advantage includes $100 of USPS insurance coverage for no additional cost.

When shipping Hazardous Material, USPS Ground Advantage is the preferred service since it is a full ground network.
