Formerly a service by FedEx offering cost-effective delivery for lightweight packages, utilizing FedEx for long-haul transit and USPS for final delivery. The service was discontinued in March 2021 and replaced by FedEx Ground Economy.
FedEx Ground Economy offers a budget-friendly option for domestic ground shipments of lightweight packages, potentially reducing shipping costs for certain products.
Delivers to all residential and commercial addresses within the US, including Alaska, Hawaii, and US territories (may have extended delivery times to these areas).

Compared to standard FedEx Ground services, tracking might be less detailed and delivery times may be longer.
