express delivery
Priority mail service
Express delivery is a shipping service that prioritizes speed over economy, getting packages to their destination faster than standard options—often overnight or within a few days.
The term applies to both the service and the package sent that way: I paid extra for express delivery, Your express delivery arrived this morning.
Also called express shipping or express mail.
