What are the differences between Xparcel Priority, Expedited, and Ground?

Xparcel offers three service levels Priority, Expedited, and Ground each tailored to meet different shipping needs based on delivery speed and cost. These options give eCommerce businesses the flexibility to choose the most efficient and budget-friendly method for each shipment.

Xparcel Priority is the fastest service level, with average transit times of one to three business days. It is ideal for urgent orders or customers who expect quick delivery without the cost of traditional express shipping. This option is commonly used for product launches, promotional campaigns, or high-value items that benefit from faster delivery.

Xparcel Expedited offers a balanced solution with transit times of two to five business days. It is designed for businesses that want reliable delivery within a reasonable timeframe while keeping shipping costs lower than express services. Expedited is a popular choice for everyday consumer orders that do not require overnight shipping but still demand a timely experience.

Xparcel Ground is the most economical option, with average transit times ranging from three to eight business days. It is best suited for customers who prioritize cost savings over delivery speed or for products with flexible delivery expectations. This tier is often used for non-urgent orders, lower-value items, or subscription box deliveries.

All Xparcel tiers are powered by a proprietary algorithm that selects the best carrier for each shipment based on destination, package characteristics, and carrier performance. This ensures each order is optimized for both time and cost, regardless of which tier you choose.

By offering multiple service levels under the Xparcel suite, ShipNetwork helps eCommerce businesses create customizable shipping strategies that meet diverse customer needs and control logistics expenses.
