36 hours Illinois to Anchorage USPS ground advantage

[bashort]

18 Pounds for $26 UPS was $83 Projected delivery date was like another 10 days.

I am surprised and impressed

I did USPS on a Saturday afternoon and it got to buyer Monday afternoon...per the buyer's feedback.

We win some...we lose some....hopefully nothing shipped of course.

     Despite the title "ground advantage" I am willing to bet they didn't truck the item to Alaska. From tracking I see a lot of things go from the east to the west coast in 1-2 days. Obviously it went on a plane from the east coast to the west.

Yes, obviously sent by air, I have drove from Illinois to Anchorage it is like a 75 hour drive.

The USPS says that ground advantage is "Primary option for sending hazardous materials (HAZMAT) that can’t go by air."

At first ground advantage had some bugs.  It was taking way too long to arrive to it's destination.  Now it's clean sailing.  I sent a package to Hawaii a few weeks ago and it got there in 2 days. Impressive indeed!
