What's the Difference with Fedex Express / IE

zsha

Hi, I see different delivery options with some companies one of them is Fedex Express and another one is Fedex IE, what's the difference, the express option is more expensive, so just wondering?

Can you post to a site with the 2 of them.

Seems IE is probably international economy, cheaper and slower

If ordering from the US I always pick the cheaper one, as the cost of shipping is included if VAT is to be charged.

This isn't v clear but you might see what I mean with the different delivery methods, just wondered what was the difference and why ip (express) is more exp, considering it states the same amount of days for delivery.
Thanks for the reply

The fedex site says international priority is

Time-definite delivery typically in 1, 2 or 3 business days to most major world markets.*

International economy is
2 to 5 business days to most major world markets

I think some sites overestimate delivery dates so you are not disappointed or emailing them about it. Or just a typo on their part.

I always get amazon stuff before the estimated delivery date.

What is this website you are buying from anyway? strange to see such a wide range on offer.
