Wasn't sure where to post, as I didn't see a UPS My Choice master thread (yet - maybe one should be created).

I recently made an order on Target.com which was shipped UPS Surepost in two cartons. For some reason only one got upgraded to UPS ground. Not always is an upgrade worth it. Surepost arrived the next day, while UPS ground took two days.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Usually it's the other way around, Surepost takes longer.

Which is what I would have expected, and why I have it set to automatically upgrade. But there seems to be some kind of anomaly here, which is what prompted my post.

Shipment was from PA to 11213.

I wonder if there are any other DPs.

Nope.

Order placed Monday. Surepost delivered on Tuesday, UPS ground on Wednesday. I am guessing that the upgrade process involves some kind of rerouting that makes it impossible to deliver a ground service package in one business day.
