These timelines may vary by the service. For example, some services might not count the initial day of shipping as the first day if the package is sent later in the day; there might be a grace period included for holidays, inclement weather conditions, and other obstacles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6>  Learn more about overnight shipping in <a href=\"https:\/\/shippingeasy.com\/blog\/what-are-the-cheapest-overnight-shipping-options\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> What Are the Cheapest Overnight Shipping Options<\/a>?<\/h6>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"expect\">Do customers expect expedited shipping?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/shippingeasy.com\/blog\/consumer-shipping-expectations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">our recent study with Retail Economics,<\/a> 20.8% of customers said shipping speed was the biggest factor in deciding whether or not they\u2019ll purchase from a business. We totally understand that this holiday season is going to be financially stressful, so expedited shipping options might not be an option for your business. If your business isn\u2019t able to offer expedited shipping, consider using carrier services like Priority Mail<sup>\u00ae&nbsp; <\/sup>because they have a 1-3 day delivery window and include tracking for your customers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6>  Are your expectations for this holiday season aligned with your customers\u2019 expectations? <a href=\"https:\/\/shippingeasy.com\/blog\/consumer-shipping-expectations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Find out<\/a>!<\/h6>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"express\">What is USPS Priority Mail Express<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usps.com\/ship\/priority-mail-express.htm?utm_medium=search&amp;utm_source=google&amp;utm_campaign=evergreenps&amp;utm_content=e327_eese&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQiAyracBhDoARIsACGFcS6Cnj7u8y2jQcAXpaBB4JDADA6daj6FmhuUGVbRgqnKGJ66yG_gJYQaAslsEALw_wcB&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Priority Mail Express<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/a> is a USPS service that can be used when you need shipments to arrive faster than the delivery windows seen with other services.
