Surface

+ I read these sentences in a newspaper:

- Delivery generally takes 5-10 days
- Please contact us for international rates.

- Express service also available:

- 2 to 3 day shipping: add $3 to surface charge
- Overnight carrier: add $13 to surface charge

- Teachers, what's the meaning of "surface" in this situation?

Thank you very much,Teachers

Surface rates are for shipping via land and sea, not by airmail. Via the surface of the Earth, not above it.
