Why Primally Pure Charges for Expedited Shipping

Expedited shipping is a paid upgrade at Primally Pure, not a free default. Here is what the charge covers, when it makes sense, and how to add it to an order.
Quick answer
Primally Pure charges for expedited shipping because it is an optional upgrade that moves your order to a faster delivery method; the fee covers that faster service rather than being part of standard shipping.
Why faster shipping costs extra
Carriers price faster transit separately from standard delivery. When you select expedited shipping, Primally Pure passes that upgrade cost to you instead of building it into every order. That keeps the standard shipping option available without a hidden markup.
The charge is not a handling fee or a product surcharge. It pays specifically for the faster shipping method you choose.
When expedited shipping is worth it
Choose expedited shipping when timing matters more than cost: a gift with a fixed date, a replacement for a product you have run out of, or an order that needs to arrive before a trip. If you are restocking shelf-stable items on your normal schedule, standard shipping is usually the better value.
Expedited shipping speeds up transit, not the time it takes to process an order. If you need an order to ship the same day, confirm that with customer service before paying for the upgrade.
What the charge does not cover
The expedited shipping charge does not change the price of the products in your cart, and it does not guarantee a delivery date. Carrier delays, weather, and address issues can still affect arrival time.
It also does not replace order notes. If you add the expedited shipping charge to your cart, you still need to provide your order number and address in the Notes section so the team can match the fee to the right order.
Expedited shipping FAQ
- How do I add expedited shipping to my order?
- Add the expedited shipping charge item to your cart along with your products, then type your order number and address in the Notes section at checkout so the team can apply the fee to the correct order. Without the order number and address in Notes, the charge may not be matched to your shipment.
- Is the expedited shipping charge refundable?
- The charge pays for a faster shipping method once the order is placed. If the order has not shipped, contact customer service as soon as possible to ask about changing the shipping method before it goes out.
- Does expedited shipping guarantee next-day delivery?
- No. Expedited shipping shortens the carrier's transit time, but it does not promise a specific delivery date. Processing time and carrier conditions still apply. Build in a buffer if you are ordering for a hard deadline.
- Can I use expedited shipping on every order?
- The expedited shipping charge is available as an add-on item, but it is only useful when you actually need faster transit. For routine orders, standard shipping is the simpler choice.
