"We are now giving small business customers greater accessibility to our full portfolio of shipping options," said Rich Corrado, Airborne's senior vp of marketing.

Using an existing linehaul-sort hub network, Seattle-based Airborne's ground delivery service taps into the same systems available through its express services, especially its scanning system. Ground delivery shipments are guaranteed to arrive within one to five business days, depending on the distance traveled, said Airborne.
