How long does economy shipping take?
Economy shipping times in the US range from 2-5 business days, depending on where the package is being shipped from and to. If you are sending within the same state, you can expect a package to be delivered more quickly than if it needs to travel across states or to a remote area.
Shipping to an international destination using an economy courier service will take considerably longer, depending on the destination, so make sure you consider this when shipping internationally. Economy international shipping times can be anywhere between 5-18 business days, depending on how far your package needs to travel.
US economy shipping
If you’re looking for an economy delivery service in the US, there are a few options you could consider.
Firstly, most of the big couriers like FedEx and UPS offer economy shipping, which provide slower delivery times at cheaper rates. For US domestic shipments, these services are often called ground shipping services because they transport your package via the road network which is slower but cheaper than transporting packages by air. Other options include postal services via the USPS. If you’re shipping a regular-sized package in the US, Priority Mail could be your cheapest option, however, it can work out more expensive for international deliveries.
