If you live in a major metropolitan center, anything shipped from relatively close will get to you next day, so changing the service level doesn’t matter.
Higher tier service is only useful when shipping longer distances or to areas that aren’t shipped to frequently enough to have a nearby hub.
In this case the seller probably offers free basic shipping regardless, and charges for other options, regardless of the buyer’s need.
Not necessarily. It very well could just be “we only offer one shipping method, but if you pay us enough we will send a guy down to the post office with only your package today.”
Isn’t this rather c/softwaregore?
