Explained: How ground shipping works
Ground shipping, involving the transportation of goods via road or rail, is a cost-effective and reliable method widely used for domestic deliveries. It offers advantages such as affordability, predictability, and suitability for larger items, while being environmentally friendlier compared to air shipping. Despite longer transit times and limited international reach, ground shipping plays a crucial role in supply chain efficiency, meeting customer expectations, and supporting sustainable practices. Innovations in technology and last-mile delivery solutions are enhancing its efficiency and relevance, especially amidst the growing e-commerce industry.
