No ground mail thru USPS?

My mother went to mail me a package last week. Normally she ships it thru ground mail b/c it is a lot cheaper, but it can take 4-12 weeks to get to me.

The post office said no more ground mail, so she wound up having to pay more $$$ for airmail. Yes it will get to me sooner, but it was only things that I can't get in the US or are much cheaper there. Thank god I am going to NY for x mas b/c she said it would have cost too much to send presents there.

Anyone know of any shipping place that does ground mail???

She might have to do that next time. I just think this is so strange. I can't believe they don't do ground mail anymore.

Did you go to the website? Might say something on there

Ok I went and looked and there is a long boring statement about "is it cost effective" I can't read it all, but it looks like they aren't doing it anymore as of August 2nd this year Chat Icon

Which sucks, now I'll have to send everything home air mail - mmmm nice & cheap Chat Icon

It definitely is strange.

I know when my dad mails packages to his friend in France he uses UPS.
