How Fast Can A Courier Deliver My Shipment?

Using courier services for the first time includes a bit of a learning curve

. One of the most common questions that couriers get asked by first time customers is how long will it take to have their packages delivered. This isn't a question which a Chicago courier service can provide a single answer to however. The length of time that it takes packages to be delivered is on a sort of a sliding scale, where the more you are willing to pay, the quicker you can get a package delivered.

Whenever you call a courier company to place a request for service, they are going to give you several different options for service. The option you choose for your service will determine how much you are going to pay for shipping, and how quickly your package is going to be delivered. Assuming you want to opt for something which will result in a quicker delivery than basic economy service, your options start at next day service.

Next day service means exactly that. When you order it, your package will be delivered by the end of the day following the day on which you place your order. Same day service operates on a similar principle. When you order same day service, you can have your package delivered by the end of the same day when you place the order. Keep in mind when ordering these two types of service that you need to place your order fairly early in the day in order to qualify.

International shipments can often be completed within a single day, or a few days at the most using air transport. The fastest air shipping option is known as NFO or next flight out shipping. If you're shipping in North America, a good NFO courier should be able to ship any properly sized package to its destination within a single day.

Shipping inside a single city opens up a number of other, and faster, shipping options. When you're shipping in your own city, the shipping timelines are typically phrased in terms of the number of actual hours it will take to make a delivery from the moment that you place your order with the courier company. These services typically start at around four hour delivery and get as quick as one hour delivery. Rush service is also available in most cities, which simply means a delivery made as fast as possible.
