UPS Ground shipping typically takes 1 to 5 business days to deliver packages within the continental United States. Delivery speed depends mainly on the distance between the origin and the destination: local or regional shipments usually arrive in 1 to 2 business days, while coast-to-coast shipments can take 4 to 5 business days. UPS Ground operates Monday through Saturday and offers reliable, cost-effective delivery with tracking available. It is generally faster than USPS Ground Advantage, which takes 2 to 5 business days, but slower than air-based express options from UPS. UPS Ground keeps packages entirely within the UPS network, which can help ensure more consistent transit times and package handling compared to some other ground services.
