Express Delivery System
The express delivery services (EDS) industry comprises companies that provide expedited movement of documents, parcels, and other goods. Express delivery operators maintain control of the goods throughout the delivery process, often using tracking and tracing technology to monitor the location of each item. Additional services and value-added elements include, for example, collection from a point designated by the sender, release upon signature, specific delivery time guarantee, and delivery confirmation. Where items are shipped internationally, express delivery providers are involved in customs clearance procedures, including the payment of required duties and taxes.
The primary service provided by an express delivery firm is the movement of documents, parcels, or freight with a guaranteed transit time. Express delivery service customers can choose how quickly they wish to have goods reach their destinations. These choices are generally categorized as next day, second day, or deferred delivery, with several time deadlines available within each category. Consumer prices depend on delivery speed, delivery distance, and shipment weight.
