what is standard shipping

Standard shipping is a regular shipping service that does not carry the bells and whistles of express shipping or flat rate shipping. It is the baseline, economy shipping option that businesses provide to their customers. Standard shipping is also known as economy, ground, or basic shipping. It is the cheapest shipping option from any courier. The final price of the shipment is determined by delivery distance, package weight, size, and any value-added shipping features like delivery confirmation. Standard shipping is slower than express shipping and may take a little longer to deliver via standard mail services. The delivery time for standard shipping ranges from two to eight days domestically, depending on the carrier used and the location of the sender and recipient. Standard shipping is best suited for businesses that would like to cost-effectively dispatch small to large boxes.
