About Lone Star Overnight
Starting out as a carrier providing next-day delivery services in regions like Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana, Lone Star Overnight (now LSO) has made its mark in the shipping industry for well over three decades.
Facing multiple acquisitions over the course of its existence, the company is owned by WeDo Logistics and has since then expanded its operations to multiple states in the U.S.
The most basic shipping service provided here is called LSO Economy Next Day. Online stores have the option to send any package in another U.S. state that is within LSO’s service region on the next business day by 3:00 PM. However, rural areas can have deliveries made by the end of the next day.
Next in line is the LSO Priority Next Day. As the name suggests, this is for packages that need to be delivered on priority. Here, all parcels are given free envelopes and boxes for packaging. Also, only packages that are up to 150 pounds (68 kilograms) in weight, 108 inches (2.74 meters) in length, and 130 inches (3.30 meters) in diameter can be delivered here.
The final and most quick service of the platform is LSO Early Overnight. Businesses can use this on weekdays to send any parcel within LSO’s service territory on the next working day by 8:30 AM. This service does not require any proof of delivery signature.
Similar to the Priority Next Day service, only parcels that are up to 150 pounds (68 kilograms) and 130 inches (3.30 meters) in diameter can be shipped. However, the length here is restricted to 72 inches (1.82 meters).
If your eCommerce store finds these services a bit more on the expensive end, you can easily benefit from the carrier’s 2nd Day Delivery. Any order with the same weight and dimensions mentioned above is assured to reach its destination on the second business day.
In fact, you can even calculate prices on the main website using a rate calculator. Other delivery methods like LSO Ground Shipping are made to counter peak shipping times/seasons.
The timeframe here can vary depending on where you send a parcel. Although, most orders will be fulfilled within 1-3 business days. The good news is that eCommerce businesses can avail lower rates for ground shipping.
With discounts of up to 40%, you also get faster transit times, lower surcharges, tracking, and live customer service to maintain high customer satisfaction levels. Get ClickPost’s carrier API integration to leverage all services of Lone Star Overnight and deliver products within the next day!
