special delivery
Expedited postal service
Special delivery is a postal service that guarantees faster handling and delivery than standard mail, typically for an extra fee.
The term also appears in more casual contexts to announce that something desired or expected has arrived: Special delivery—I brought pizza!
It can carry suggestive overtones when referring to a person's arrival or physical attributes.
