Express, Standard or Scheduled: which to pick
What each speed promises, and what it does to the price.
1 min readUpdated 30 Aug 2026
Every booking asks for a delivery speed. It changes both how quickly a courier commits to you and what the job costs.
| Speed | Window | Price effect |
|---|---|---|
| Express | 30 to 45 minutes | Half again on top of the standard price |
| Standard | 1 to 2 hours | The baseline price |
| Scheduled | A time slot you pick | 10% below the standard price |
When to use each
- Express is for things with a deadline: a tender document before close of business, a part that is holding up a job.
- Standard covers most of what people send. A courier picks up within the hour and you are done.
- Scheduled is the cheapest because couriers can plan around it. Use it for anything that has to arrive tomorrow rather than now.
Windows are measured from the moment you accept a bid, not from when you opened the app. Traffic on Samora Machel at half past four is real, and the courier updates your ETA if it moves.
