express shipping
Fastest postal option
Express shipping is a delivery option prioritizing speed over cost.
Packages sent by express shipping arrive faster than standard shipping—often within one to three days, sometimes overnight.
The term appears in e-commerce checkout flows and shipping menus: I paid extra for express shipping to get it by Friday.
Also called expedited shipping.
