economy shipping

Cheapest mail option

Economy shipping is the slowest and cheapest shipping option offered by carriers and retailers.

Packages travel by ground transport or wait for space on planes rather than being prioritized, typically arriving in a week or more: I chose economy shipping since I wasn't in a hurry.

The tradeoff is cost savings over express or expedited delivery.
