Which service has a delivery window of one to five business days depending on the zip code?

• A. Ground
• B. Next Day Air
• C. 2nd Day Air A.M.
• D. 3 Day Select

Answer: (A)

Ground is the service whose delivery window changes based on the destination zip code. Because it uses ground transportation and serves a wide range of locations, the transit time varies from about 1 day for nearby destinations to as many as 5 days for far-off or rural areas. The other options are time-guaranteed services: Next Day Air aims for delivery by the next business day, 2nd Day Air A.M. aims for the second business day (often by morning), and 3 Day Select aims for three business days. So, the variable, zip-code–dependent window identifies Ground.
