FedEx Ground.
They offer delivery to every address in the 48 contiguous U.S. states within 1 to 5 business days based on the distance to the destination (delivery to Alaska and Hawaii in 3 to 7 business days).
UPS.
To calculate the delivery time for any shipment going anywhere served by UPS, go to Calculate Time and Cost, located on the Shipping tab of ups.com. Follow the directions, noting the required fields (required fields are indicated by a star).
However, normally UPS ground shipping takes one to five days to deliver depending on the departing location and delivery destination.
We recommend that you are home during the delivery however if you cannot be at home, your order should be delivered to a safe place.
A safe place is a location where the courier can leave your parcel if you aren’t in. You can indicate this in the checkout process, or the driver might leave the package in a safe place if you aren’t at home to receive delivery if the signature is not required. The delivery driver will only leave your package if they consider the requested location to be safe.
If your package requires a signature, the driver will only leave your package with a neighbor, not at any other designated safe place.
A Safe Place will be:
- Dry (and protected from rain or flooding)
- Secure from public access
- Accessible to our courier
Examples of a safe place include:
- Shed
- Greenhouse
- Porch with a door
- Garage
- With a designated neighbor
- Mailbox
- Porch
- Garage
- Any area out of potential weather hazards
- Exterior doors and any locations where the package could be placed
Examples of places our courier might find unsafe include:
- Wheelie bin
- Door step
- Gardens, yards & patios
- Over gates or walls
