This includes any option that isn’t the standard 5-7 business days, meaning overnight shipping, one day shipping, or two day shipping.

The express shipping options are usually pricey, so I’m curious if anyone actually uses them outside of emergencies. I personally haven’t used an express shipping option outside of Prime.
 
It depends on thing I'm buying. For Amazon, I'm more likely to click on the Amazon Day shipping especially if its just groceries or something I buy on a recurring basis.

But if I am importing something, I'll probably expedite it because I'm pretty impaitent and the difference could be a few daya via plane or a few weeks via boat, lol.
 
For my Magic the Gathering orders, I always pick the delivery to the closest place to my home, and since it's not urgent, it's a cheap additional shipping cost. Best part of doing that is also making sure I buy something there to support the local shop, in my case a bakery.
 
i go for the best balance of shipping cost to delivery time. not gonna pay like $50 for guaranteed next day delivery from overseas but i also won't pay like $5 for 'we put it it on the slowest boat when there's space on one and it'll probably take two months to arrive'.
