What's Economy Type Shipping?

Economy shipping, also known as ground shipping or standard shipping, is a type of shipping service that is typically slower and less expensive than other options such as express or overnight shipping.

The benefits of Economy shipping include:

• Lower cost: Economy shipping is usually the cheapest shipping option, making it a good choice for those on a budget.
• Suitable for non-urgent deliveries: Because Economy shipping is slower than other options, it's a good choice for items that are not time-sensitive.

Disadvantages of Economy include:

• Longer delivery time: Economy shipping can take several days or even weeks to deliver, which can be a disadvantage for those who need their items quickly.
• Less tracking information: Economy shipping typically provides less detailed tracking information than other shipping options, so it can be harder to know exactly when your package will arrive.

It's also important to note that the cost and timeframe of Economy shipping can vary depending on the carrier, destination, weight and size of the package, and other factors.

A collection window refers to the time frame in which a package or shipment is scheduled to be picked up by a carrier for delivery. It is a specific period of time when the carrier will come to the shipper's location to collect the package(s).

When you ship with Economy, you typically have a wider collection window than with other shipping options. This is because Economy shipping is typically less time-sensitive, giving carriers more flexibility in when they can pick up the package.
