Ground Advantage just celebrated its 1st Birthday. The Post Office introduced the new service last year to replace a hodgepodge of options including Retail Ground, First-Class Package, & Parcel Select.
Have you tried it yet? What do you think?
When the Post Office first introduced Ground Advantage a year ago, it sounded almost too good to be true when it came to eCommerce fulfillment shipping options. The advertised features included:
· 2 to 5 day delivery
· Best prices for up to 16 pounds
· Available online using Click N Ship
· Qualifies for commercial discounts
· $100 insurance included
It’s been a year now and reality has hit the road. We have seen the good and the bad of the new program and many eCommerce companies have switched to the new service.
While Ground Advantage doesn’t always live up to its promises, neither did the old services that it replaced or the more expensive Priority Mail option. Overall, the Post Office does just about as well with Ground Advantage as other services and at a great price!
The commercial rates for Ground Advantage are great and some of our customers saw even more savings earlier this year when the Post Office added dimensional pricing.
If you haven’t tried Ground Advantage yet, we would recommend that you give it a try particularly if you have heavier smaller packages. And while we can’t give it a ringing endorsement, we do predict that you won’t be any more disappointed with the Post Office than you already are!
