Delivery times
Regular Parcel generally lists one to three business days locally, three to six regionally and four to ten nationally. Expedited Parcel lists one locally, one to three regionally and two to seven nationally. The difference depends on the lane; do not promise a fixed number of days saved.
Guarantee and coverage
Guarantees are conditional: carrier exclusions, suspension notices and claim deadlines apply. A postage-refund guarantee does not promise reimbursement of every loss caused by a delay. Check the terms at purchase.
Compare prices
Request both rates with the same dimensions, weight, origin, destination and options. Different coverage or signature choices can change the comparison. Negotiated rates and volumetric weight can also change the ranking; no fixed price or saving percentage is promised here.
Choose a service
Start with parcel eligibility, then the date the recipient needs, then total cost. If both services meet the need, compare their prices and terms. A faster option is useful when its actual commitment better fits the shipment.
Compare available options
Services offered by the platform depend on the route, parcel, account and available carriers. A quote is an estimate for those inputs; confirm options, taxes, duties and later adjustments before purchase.
