rush orders
Expedited shipping requests
Rush orders are requests for goods or services needed faster than normal processing allows.
The term implies urgency and often additional cost—businesses typically charge a premium for rush orders because they disrupt regular workflow: We can do rush orders, but there's a 50% surcharge.
The phrase appears in manufacturing, printing, shipping, and food service.
