Express delivery: when speed is important

Modern rhythms of life require everything to be done quickly, and it seems that there is absolutely no time to wait. It is the same with ordering goods, especially online, when by pressing the “buy” button you hope for the magical appearance of the thing that you have been dreaming about for so long.
The most difficult thing in this case is for sellers of marketplaces, when, in addition, in order to interest consumers in your goods, you need to keep their attention by offering the fastest and not the most expensive delivery. In such cases, there is often a fear that by offering express delivery, the buyer will refuse the goods, because its cost will equal or even exceed the goods cost.
Sending direct shipping is safe
Firstly, express delivery can always be offered to customers in comparison with other types of delivery, don't forget to set deadlines. Direct delivery to the USA takes about 4-5 days, in turn, consolidated shipments go to the buyer 7-10 days.
Secondly, when the buyer chooses a gift online, he very often does it at the last moment, and in order to get the necessary thing (especially if she knows that she is needed) ready to pay for very fast delivery many times more than for the product itself. Especially if it is an exclusive custom-made handmade work.
Thirdly, it is important to always check the shipping cost in the calculator, because it may turn out that express delivery is much more profitable than consolidation, for example.
What are the advantages of express shipments
First of all, it is speed and time saving. When choosing the SkladUSA express delivery service, the seller chooses the best international carriers FedEx / TNT or DHL (for Ukraine and Belarus), which deliver in a matter of days around the world.
Delivery geography is another important advantage of direct shipments. International carriers deliver shipments to almost every corner of the world. How long it takes, you can check in your SkladUSA account in the "Delivery statistics" section. The sender saves a lot of time, because you don’t even need to leave your home to send the express, because you can call the courier from the carrier to your address without additional payment for this service. Additional costs for the delivery of the shipment to the warehouse and the time it takes to process the order at SkladUSA representative offices do not cause worries.
The cost of SkladUSA's service is another reason to consider express shipping. We offer our customers special rates from international carriers, which we receive at the expense of shipment volumes per year (which is over 800 tons).
