ground shipping
Overland package transport
Ground shipping is delivery by truck or rail rather than air.
It's the slower, cheaper option for sending packages: Ground shipping takes five to seven business days.
The term became common with the rise of express air delivery services, which needed a way to distinguish premium speed from standard overland transport.
