EXPEDITED INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
• Expedited international shipping is sometimes confused with terms
like premium, express or priority. Unless specified by the merchant,
expedited shipping could result in any combination of modes of
travel and service providers. Not all mail service companies provide
expedited international shipping, and some locations simply cannot
get a quicker international package delivery at all. Carriers often
outsource portions of the chain of transport for packages, because
some companies specialize in major routes or more specialized
methods of travel like air.
• Expedited international shipping is generally fastest by air, however
this is greatly dependent on where the sender and recipient are
located. More importantly, the speed will be determined by
understanding the distinction between “expedited” and a specific
type of service defined by a company. These can be found in detail
on their website or from their customer service representatives over
the phone or at one of their physical storefronts.
