USPS Ground Advantage-Effective 9 July 2023

USPS Ground Advantage

On July 9, 2023 the Postal Service will introduce a new mail service called USPS Ground Advantage. This new mail service will replace the following:

  • First-Class Package Service (FCPS), (retail and commercial)
  • USPS Retail Ground (RG)
  • Parcel Select Ground (PSG)
  • Ground Return Service (GRS)
  • First-Class Package Return Service (FCPRS)

USPS Ground Advantage will feature the following endorsements:

  • $100 worth of insurance included for both retail and commercial customers on all outbound and return parcels
  • 2-5 day service service expected
  • Package forwarding and return-to sender endorsements
  • Free package pickup from carrier’s route.
  • NO postage due for items processed as Undeliverable as Addressed (UAA)
  • Free forwarding and return to sender (processed same as current Priority Mail)

A grace period that will expire on September 30, 2023 allows mailers time to comply with the new USPS Ground Advantage wording on package shipping labels. The postal service will not reject or refuse parcels bearing the former labels. Delivery will not be delayed. However, parcels will be scanned and charged appropriately.
