How long does it take a parcel from Houston to new York on FedEx or ups?

Answer 1

That depends on the level of service you pay for.

The UPS website has maps (go to shipping/service guide) where you can put in a ZIP code to see how long it normally takes for a parcel sent from that ZIP code using their standard ground service to arrive at locations in the rest of the US. Using a Houston ZIP code (77002), it looks like it normally takes 3-5 days to get to New York, depending on what part of New York you're talking about.

FedEx has the same thing (ship>get rates and service times>ground service map), which looks like 77002->NY is 3-4 days for them.

If you meant New York City, both say it's 3 days. This probably assumes you're dropping the package off at their local office; if you're calling to have the package picked up at a residence, it's likely going to add an extra day.
