Can you ship my Black Hills Gold order via US Postal Service instead of UPS?

MailboxUnless you are shipping to a PO Box, every order placed at BlackHillsGoldSource.com is automatically queued for shipment via UPS Ground.

Some rural locations are simply better serviced by the Post Office and they will also deliver on Saturday whereas in many cases, delivery via UPS wouldn’t have been until Monday. We also ship all outgoing International Orders though the US Postal Service as we have found them to be much more cost-effective and equally dependable as UPS for international shipments.
