As part of the July 9th, 2023 Rate Change, the USPS will be launching a new Competitive Package service called USPS Ground Advantage. This new service will combine USPS Retail Ground, First-Class Package Service, and Parcel Select Ground into a single streamlined shipping service.
USPS Ground Advantage is an affordable and reliable way to ground ship packages up to 70 lbs. with a 2-5 business day delivery window, and will be available for domestic use only. Pricing for this new service will remain tiered – weight increments will begin at 4oz. with additional increment levels at 8oz., 12oz., and 15.999oz. Any items over 15.999oz. will then be in 1lb increments, up to 70 lbs. This can be seen in the table below.
You can download our overview of the USPS Ground Advantage rates here.
**Below tables only show pricing up to 10lb. Service continues through 70lb.**
