Express Delivery: how to combine speed and quality without compromise

Today, express delivery is no longer a luxury, it’s an expectation. Customers demand faster shipping but won’t settle for lower quality.

For e-commerce businesses, delivering quickly while maintaining flawless service is one of the greatest logistics challenges.

So, how can companies meet this demand without sacrificing reliability or harming their brand reputation?
The answer lies in one word: structure.

Why express delivery has become a strategic priority

The direct impact on customer experience

Shipping speed is often the last impression a customer has of a purchase and it leaves a lasting mark. It directly shapes satisfaction, brand perception, and the likelihood of repeat business.

According to Capital One Shopping’s 2025 research, 74% of North American shoppers expect their orders in under two days. Among buyers aged 18–34, 56% demand same-day delivery.

Even more striking, 69% say a 24-hour delivery window is a deciding factor in their purchase decision.

In other words, express delivery has become the new standard. It’s a signal of trust, a conversion driver, and a competitive differentiator.

Improving delivery speed is no longer just a logistics target. It’s a marketing lever that influences sales and builds customer loyalty.

The risks of poorly managed express delivery

Trying to deliver faster without proper systems in place can backfire. Common issues such as order mix-ups, damaged parcels, or inventory mistakes, don’t just frustrate customers, they also add unnecessary costs.

With an inexperienced provider, the promise of express delivery often turns into stress: missed deadlines, weak tracking, and poor communication.

And in today’s digital-first world, one bad review can spread faster than the delivery itself.

That’s why companies like Globex stand out. With structured operations, real-time tracking, and a proactive approach, we prevent errors before they happen instead of scrambling to fix them after.

The technology behind reliable express delivery

An API designed for e-commerce automation

Globex provides a comprehensive e-commerce API, fully compatible with Shopify.

It’s built to simplify and automate every step of the shipping process, while keeping businesses in control.

Key features include:

• Personalized delivery options: carriers, service types, transit times, and rates (real-time or fixed) displayed directly at checkout.
• Automatic order processing: once a customer completes checkout, the order syncs with Globex, allowing you to print labels and schedule pickups instantly.
• Real-time shipment tracking: available to both your team and your customers for complete transparency.

The result? Fewer errors, smoother workflows, and reliable express delivery performance, even during seasonal peaks.

A structured logistics process that saves time

Instead of a one-size-fits-all model, Globex adapts to each client’s unique reality:

• Local pickups in Montreal or Québec City, often the same day.
• Direct injection into the Globex network, no unnecessary stops, reducing risks of delay.
• Optimized processes at every stage to guarantee speed without compromising quality.

This approach delivers fast, secure, and scalable express delivery, whether you’re shipping a few parcels or managing high-volume orders.

Urban Logistics: the hidden advantage of express delivery

Smart logistics, not just speed

In dense urban areas like Montreal and Québec City, successful delivery depends less on having the fastest vehicle and more on smart logistics planning.

Globex has developed a structured express delivery model with multiple service levels, tailored to the urgency of each shipment:

• Direct Service: immediate pickup and nonstop delivery, available 24/7.
• Immediate Service: delivery in under one hour, ideal for critical shipments.
• Regular Service: parcels delivered within two hours, a favorite among businesses.
• AM/PM – PM/AM Service: flexible same-day delivery or guaranteed by noon the next day.

As explained in our article on last-mile logistics, this system is designed to handle urban challenges with precision and efficiency.

The key takeaway? Speed alone isn’t enough. True express delivery means delivering fast, and delivering well.
