All while simultaneously tap dancing and singing the National Anthem.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, running a business is hard. And it\u2019s even harder to do successfully. There are several internal and external factors that all compound to make running a business very difficult.<\/p>\n<p>However, there are ways to make it easier. If you plan things out ahead of time and make sure that certain elements of your business are running smoothly &#8211; and that those elements aren\u2019t running into snags &#8211; you\u2019ll be golden.<\/p>\n<p>One of the elements that you must make sure is consistently running smoothly is shipping.<\/p>\n<p>Nothing is more exciting to a customer than to receive a package that they\u2019ve ordered. It\u2019s even better if they receive it promptly and if it\u2019s undamaged.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to have happy customers &#8211; which should be the goal as a business owner! &#8211; you need to make sure that whatever product you\u2019re shipping out to the customer arrives on time and that they also arrive in pristine condition.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Table of Contents --><!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"blog-toc\">\n<p>Contents<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#1\" rel=\"noopener\">Ground Shipping<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#2\" rel=\"noopener\">Risks of Ground Shipping<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#3\" rel=\"noopener\">What To Ship Via Ground?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#4\" rel=\"noopener\">FAQs<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"1\">Ground Shipping<\/h2>\n<p>Ground shipping is the slowest <a href=\"\/blog\/usps-vs-dhl-shipping-services\">shipping service<\/a> that it is possible to select.

This means that if anything ends up happening to your package (re: it getting lost, arriving damaged, or getting stolen), you will be reimbursed up to a certain amount of money.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you choose ground shipping, you\u2019ll have two options.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>You can ship via ground shipping without <a href=\"\/blog\/shipping-insurance\">shipping insurance<\/a> and hope that the package isn\u2019t lost, damaged, or stolen.<\/li>\n<li>You can ship via ground shipping with shipping insurance. This way, if the package is lost, damaged, or stolen, you\u2019ll get reimbursed and be able to send out a replacement without having to pay out of pocket.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.logiwa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ground-shipping-730-300.png\" width=\"730\" height=\"400\" alt=\"ground-shipping\" class=\"wp-image-7951 alignnone size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.logiwa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ground-shipping-730-300.png 730w, https:\/\/www.logiwa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ground-shipping-730-300-480x263.png 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 730px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"3\">What To Ship Via Ground?<\/h2>\n<p>By now, you understand that shipping via ground shipping runs a higher chance of being slower than other shipping services.<\/p>\n<p>So, what should you ship with ground shipping?<\/p>\n<p>At its basest level, you will want to ship anything that doesn\u2019t have a firm arrival deadline using ground shipping. The reason for this is that ground shipping can take so much longer than other shipping services.<\/p>\n<p>However, because ground shipping only travels over land, ground shipping can also be used for shipping very heavy things. If you\u2019re trying to ship something heavy by air or by sea, it\u2019ll end up being very expensive because weight costs more when traveling across those areas.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, ground shipping can end up being a very smart choice for heavy packages and the like. As such, if you\u2019re trying to ship lots of things, or if you have many things that you need to receive to start up or upgrade your business, choosing ground shipping will likely lose you time but save you money.<\/p>\n<p>So long as you &#8211; as the recipient &#8211; don\u2019t mind receiving something later than expected, or if you have customers who don\u2019t mind receiving their purchase later than told, you should use ground shipping.<\/p>\n<p>The more money you save when it comes to shipping costs, the more money you\u2019ll be able to filter back into your business and use to upgrade the things that matter.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever shipping you decide to use, just make sure you\u2019re upfront with the customer about how long their shipment will take to arrive. That way, there are no surprises that will make the customer sad and lead to you receiving negative reviews.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.logiwa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/blog-rise-of-ai-1.png&#8221; alt=&#8221;Blog &#8211; The Rise of AI in Hybrid Fulfillment Warehousing&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Blog &#8211; The Rise of AI in Hybrid Fulfillment Warehousing&#8221; url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.logiwa.com\/blog\/the-rise-of-artificial-intelligence-ai-in-hybrid-fulfillment-warehousing&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|20px|20px|20px|20px&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset1&#8243; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"4\">FAQs<\/h2>\n<h3>How can I make sure that my packages arrive undamaged to the recipients?<\/h3>\n<p>There are a couple of ways to make sure that your packages aren\u2019t damaged while being shipped. One of the ways is to make sure that you\u2019re working with a reputable shipping service.<\/p>\n<p>Check their reviews and make sure that their other clients are happy with whichever shipping service you are considering. The better the reviews, the more likely that your products will arrive safely.<\/p>\n<p>Also, make sure that you\u2019re using the correct type of dunnage and the correct amount of it for whatever you\u2019re shipping.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve written an\u00a0article about <a href=\"\/blog\/what-is-dunnage\">dunnage\u00a0<\/a>if you\u2019re interested in more information.<\/p>\n<h3>Are there factors I should consider when it comes to deciding between ground shipping and otherwise?<\/h3>\n<p>At its core, ground shipping is slower shipping. Because of how slow it <em>can<\/em> &#8211; but is not guaranteed to &#8211; be, as we\u2019ve discussed, make sure that around high-traffic dates, such as holidays and federal holidays, that you send off your products with enough time to offset any delays. Additionally, natural disasters will also cause delays.<\/p>\n<h3>If I don\u2019t have time constraints, is there any reason <em>not<\/em> to use ground shipping?<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re just shipping things for fun or if you have customers who don\u2019t mind waiting for your products, you should use ground shipping. You\u2019ll save money and still have <a href=\"\/blog\/best-customer-experience-in-peak-season\">happy customers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you are shipping perishables or products that have specific regulations, ground shipping may not be the best option.<\/p>\n<h3>How long should I expect my ground shipping to take?<\/h3>\n<p>It depends on the service you go with, and if there are any additional external delays you\u2019ll have to factor in. But, if there aren\u2019t any other external factors, you should expect:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>USPS: 2-8 business days<\/li>\n<li>UPS: 1-3 business days<\/li>\n<li>FedEx Ground: 1-5 business days for CONUS and 3-7 business days to Alaska and Hawaii<\/li>\n<li>DHL: 3-8 business days<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243;
