Is there any way to make sure the delivery is fast

[olipinard-0]

Hey, I just bought something that I will need by February 7th. My order is supposed to be delivered anytime between Feb 4th-March 2nd. 

My package is sent from the USA to Canada, is there any way that I can make sure that my package is delivered by the 7th of February? I'm willing to pay small fees if I need to

Once your order has been paid for and/or shipped it is next to impossible to speed up the process. If you need super high priority shipping it needs to be arranged with the seller before you complete the transaction to confirm the possibility. Once it's on its way all you can do is "try" to monitor the tracking (sign up for updates) if they are included with the service and cross fingers. You're at the whim of the postal system/courier involved and customs when it reaches that point, is released and moves the rest of the way to your location.

There's an old saying.

You can have it good/ You can have it fast/ You can have it cheap.

But you can only pick two.

Fast will not be cheap.

DH a couple of years ago needed to have an auction consignment (not eBay) travel quickly and securely from the Southern USA to Canada.

He took a plane to the consignor's city and flew the item to the auction house in Ottawa.

Time spent about 20 hours.

The only hold up was a few minutes in Customs because the officers on duty had never seen anything so small which was so valuable.

The consignor paid for his plane tickets. About $1000. He slept on the plane.

The only way you can be fairly sure an item will arrive on time is to ship it long before the deadline.

If you use an overnight service, have it with the carrier a week or more before so that it is meant to arrive five or six days before it is needed.

USPS Global GXG envelopes have a 1-3 day delivery to Canada and cost around $80 USD.

In any case it sounds as if the shipment is already on its way and it is too late to upgrade shipping.
