Economy vs Express Courier: Choosing the Right Delivery Option for Your Business
When it comes to shipping, speed isn't always the priority — and choosing the wrong delivery option can cost your business money, delays, or unhappy customers.
At UrgentGo Courier, we offer two core national delivery options designed around how businesses actually operate: Economy National Freight and Express Courier Services.
This guide helps you choose the right option based on urgency, cost, and shipment type.
Economy National Freight
Best for cost-focused, non-urgent shipments
Economy National Freight is designed for businesses that prioritise affordability and consistency over speed. It's ideal for planned shipments, bulk movements, and repeat deliveries where same-day arrival isn't required.
Key Benefits
Delivery Timeframe
2–4 working days
Best suited for:
Economy services move via scheduled freight networks, making them a smart choice for businesses looking to optimise logistics spend without sacrificing reliability.
Express Courier
Best for urgent or time-sensitive deliveries
Express Courier services are built for speed. When timing matters — documents, medical items, legal paperwork, or urgent business shipments — Express ensures priority handling and faster transit.
Key Benefits
Delivery Timeframe
Same-day or next-day (lane dependent)
Best suited for:
Express services are recommended when delays are not an option and certainty is critical.

Important Delivery Note
Delivery timelines may vary based on route, volume, and operational conditions. Economy services are scheduled freight services and are not express courier services.
