Express services come into play whenever shipments must arrive under time pressure – often on the same or next business day. Couriers and parcel services offer strictly defined delivery windows, comprehensive tracking, and signature-on-delivery confirmation. Costs are significantly higher than standard shipping, but justified by speed and reliability. Typical use cases include time-critical spare parts, legal or government documents, and high-value samples.
