This is 2-day service to most domestic destinations, but that is not guaranteed. Packages are delivered during the normal post office business day, Monday through Saturday. There is no tracking or tracing and insurance must be purchased, if desired. Pickup service is available at $8.25 per stop, no matter how many pieces.

It is significantly less expensive, compared to Express Mail. A package weighing up to 2 lb. costs $3.20, while a 5-lb. package would cost $6.50.
