Are you committed to making choices that help protect the environment when possible? If you send large quantities of mail or parcels within the U.S., our Budget ground service is your ideal shipping solution. It’s available for our full line of Smartmail domestic products and offers dependable delivery with reduced postage costs. Our Budget service level also helps you meet your climate protection goals because it uses ground transportation exclusively. As a result, it generates far fewer CO2 emissions than shipping by air—but still offers competitive transit times averaging 5-10 days. This combination of advantages is possible thanks to our streamlined delivery process and U.S. Postal Service Workshare partnership.
