What is economy delivery?
Economy Delivery is a budget-friendly shipping method that balances cost and efficiency. This service is ideal for shipments that are not time-sensitive, such as inventory restocks, and offers reliable delivery times without the high costs of faster services. However, your packages may take a few extra days to arrive, as carriers base shipping costs mainly on delivery time.
Our advanced platform displays all available economy shipping solutions from leading carriers, showing you competitive all-in rates instantly. This allows you to easily select the best shipping option, optimising both time and cost. Additionally, with Economy Delivery, you can significantly reduce your ecological footprint through cost-efficient routes and consolidated shipments, a great benefit even though Economy Delivery is not the most sustainable shipping method.
What is the Difference Between Economy Delivery and Express Delivery?
Both methods are reliable and have their own advantages, depending on your budget and promises to your customers. To choose the right shipping method, it’s important to understand your shipment’s priorities. Economy Delivery is ideal for cost savings, while Express Delivery is suited for time-sensitive shipments.
Economy Delivery | Express Delivery | |
|---|---|---|
Price | Lower | Higher |
Arrival Time | Slightly longer | Guaranteed |
Shipping | Efficient | Faster |
Tracking | Standard | Standard + signature |
Insurance | Limited | Extended |
Parcel Size | Standard | Flexible |

Implementing Economy Delivery in Your Shipping Strategy
For many (production and e-commerce) companies, the shipping process is the core of the organisation. One of your goals is likely to significantly reduce your company’s shipping costs without compromising on reliability and customer satisfaction. A cost-effective shipping method is therefore a key element in increasing profit margins. Consider international deliveries that now cost less or bulk shipments that don’t necessarily need to arrive the next day.
The benefits of Economy Delivery go beyond just cost savings. By using streamlined logistics processes, you can improve your operational efficiency. For example, consider consolidating shipments, which reduces transportation costs and creates eco-friendly options by reducing CO₂ emissions. Thanks to our extensive network of carriers, you can offer flexible shipping solutions tailored to specific customer needs. This not only contributes to customer satisfaction but also strengthens your company’s reputation as a reliable and responsible partner.
Optimising Your Shipping Process with Select Courier
Thanks to our smart supply chain solutions, we can easily consolidate shipments for our customers. Do you have a load with multiple packages you want to ship as a bulk? Through our platform, you can easily input the number of packages in your shipment. Additionally, you can directly link with your own business software, such as Exact Online, to ship your orders even faster and more efficiently. Our platform immediately shows all economy shipping options, so you can quickly and easily choose the ideal carrier.
Our platform provides real-time insights into shipping costs and delivery times, allowing you to respond quickly to changing market conditions and customer expectations. The integrated tracking features allow both you and your customers to closely monitor the progress of shipments, contributing to transparency and trust.
Make smart use of our custom services, such as adjusting packaging options and shipping preferences, to achieve even higher efficiency. This ensures that your customers’ needs are always prioritised.
What is the Delivery Time for economy delivery?
Delivery times for economy delivery vary depending on the destination and the chosen carrier. Local transportation infrastructure, transport methods, and specific shipping conditions of the carrier can affect the delivery time. Generally, economy shipments take between 2-7 business days. International shipments take longer than shipments within the EU due to factors such as customs clearance and distance. Fortunately, through the Select Courier platform, you can prepare for efficient customs clearance yourself. Our smart system automatically generates paperless customs invoices that are transferred digitally.
Why Is the Delivery Time Longer?
Economy Delivery optimises logistics processes by bundling and efficiently transporting shipments. This means that multiple shipments are consolidated and sent as a bulk, causing the transportation process to start only when all packages are combined. The most cost-effective routes are used instead of the fastest, such as ground transport and standard air freight.
Because Economy Delivery has a lower priority within the shipping network, this can extend the delivery time. However, you will receive an accurate estimate of the arrival time through our user-friendly platform. This allows you to inform your recipients well about the expected arrival time of your shipments. Moreover, our platform offers detailed tracking options, so you and your customers are constantly aware of the shipment’s status.
Tracking your economy shipment?
Economy deliveries generally offer good tracking information. The only difference with Express Delivery is that a signature is not required upon delivery.
Our platform provides a clear tracking function that registers your shipments as soon as they are booked. You can easily track your shipment’s status via our dashboard. Our tracking function uses clear terms to indicate where your shipment is and when it is expected.
In addition to basic tracking, our platform offers additional features such as brief and concise updates and notifications about important status changes. This means you don’t have to constantly check external tracking websites but instead receive automatic updates on your shipment’s progress. This transparency provides peace of mind and allows you to plan accurately and inform your customers better. You can easily set variables through your account to keep stakeholders informed via automatic, personalised notifications.
