rush delivery

Fast package arrival

Rush delivery is shipping or delivery expedited beyond the standard timeframe, typically for an additional fee.

The term implies urgency—someone needs an item faster than normal processing allows: I paid extra for rush delivery to get the gift before her birthday.

Common in e-commerce, where customers choose between standard and rush options at checkout.
