ALAMEDA, Calif., Feb. 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Regional carrier Golden State Overnight (GSO) has announced availability of GSO Overnight Ground – a service that provides next-day ground parcel delivery to every address in California and the metropolitan regions of Nevada and Arizona. The GSO Overnight Ground service is now available to GSO customers with regularly scheduled service.

"Businesses are demanding cost-effective alternatives to the overnight delivery options available through the national carriers," said Dana Hyatt, President of GSO. "With GSO Overnight Ground, customers can ship next-day throughout California and much of Nevada and Arizona—paying regular ground rates and receiving a premium-level service, while saving on the numerous fees and accessorial charges that often go unnoticed until the invoices arrive."

While next-day ground service for UPS and FedEx customers is generally limited to Zone 2 delivery areas, GSO guarantees next-day service throughout the entire state of California, as well as the metropolitan regions of Nevada and Arizona. GSO Overnight Ground service between some northern California areas and Arizona requires two (2) days in transit.

GSO Overnight Ground also presents certain cost advantages. GSO Overnight Ground customers pay rates that are nearly identical to the published commercial Ground rates of national carriers such as UPS and FedEx, but are charged less for accessorial fees. GSO customers do not incur residential or commercial delivery fees, charges for adult signatures, additional handling fees, etc. Other charges, such as those for C.O.D. and address correction, are discounted.

In business since 1995, GSO complements its GSO Overnight Ground parcel service with GSO Priority Overnight service to California and metropolitan areas of Nevada and Arizona, including 8:00AM, 10:30AM and Saturday delivery options. GSO Priority Overnight customers often recognize cost savings in excess of 40% as compared to the priority overnight services available through the national carriers.
