USPS does not have its own planes and it relies on commercial airlines to move mail,USPS priority will get on the plane before USPS ground or media mail,thats why it is a good idea to ship USPS priority for XMas,unfortunately,priority mail prices have gone up a lot /

USPS Ground doesn't go on a plane at all..

You are right,straightly ground delivery.
so if there are hurricanes,flooding,earthquake,they would be delayed

Nice clarification

Almost everyone is charging for shipping now on small items. There's a big advantage to be had by continuing to offer free shipping through all this turmoil with USPS.

Nice to get access to a corporate account for free personal shipping - if able to.

I dont see how we can offer free shiping USPS ground,unless it is a high ticket,high margin item

You factor the highest zone price into your cost.


It's turned into a lost art but there are still a ton of buyers who filter for listings with free shipping. I'll never charge for the default shipping method.
