Expedite Shipping

284 views

How is it that expedite shipping exists (next-day delivery/ international expedite/ etc) in relationship to standard shipping? Its not like companies benefit or profit from the time the package is in transit. I understand its a “premium” feature but why isnt it ideal to have packages delivered in the shortest/ least time-consuming route, and if so, why arent these shorter/ less time-consuming routes the standard?

They profit because lots of people wouldn’t buy their products otherwise. These routes aren’t the standard because they aren’t the most efficient regarding costs. For example, a long drive is cheaper than a quick flight.
