Early Bird Express – home the next morning

With Early Bird Express, recipients get their parcel from the online retailer's warehouse all the way to their door or mailbox within 12 hours – the next morning. Because we work at night while most people sleep, the delivery feels exceptionally fast to the end customer. A delivery service worthy of its name. The service also carries the Nordic Swan Ecolabel, making it a climate-smart option with fair working conditions.

Increase conversion with Early Bird Express

Three steps from your flow to the customer's mailbox or door, without the recipient needing to be present at a specific time.

  1. Delivery the same night the order is placed

    Online retailers can set a later cut-off at checkout, allowing customers to order later in the day and still receive their parcel within 12 hours – the next morning. Because we work at night while most people sleep, the delivery feels exceptionally fast to the end customer.

  2. Nordic Swan Ecolabelled delivery

    Early Bird Express carries the Nordic Swan Ecolabel – an independent ecolabel that sets stringent requirements for climate impact, sustainability and responsibility throughout the delivery chain. Early Bird Express is climate-smart, without compromising on speed or convenience.

  3. Delivery up to six days a week

    We reach almost every household in Sweden, from towns and cities to rural areas, and deliver up to six days a week, including weekends. Delivery frequency may vary in some geographical areas.

What is Early Bird Express?

Early Bird Express is an add-on to Home Delivery for occasions when speed is essential. The parcel is delivered to the door or mailbox the same night the order is placed, so it is there in time for the morning coffee. Because we work at night while most people sleep, the delivery feels exceptionally fast to the end customer. As with our other services, parcels travel with newspaper carriers along routes that are already running, allowing vehicles and resources to be used more efficiently. The parcel can be tracked throughout, and the recipient receives regular notifications by SMS or email. Convenient, fast and sustainable.

The parcel's journey

From the online retailer's warehouse to the recipient's door or mailbox.

Online retailer

The recipient adds an item to their basket and proceeds to checkout. Based on the delivery address and parcel weight, we check whether delivery with Early Bird is available. The order is then packed by the online retailer, and the recipient receives a confirmation email stating that the parcel will be shipped with us.

Transport

The online retailer hands the parcel over to Early Bird, where it is scanned. The recipient receives a "parcel on its way" notification with a tracking link.

Delivery

Early Bird delivers the parcel to the recipient's door or mailbox by 07:00, the morning after the order is placed. The recipient is notified where the parcel has been left.

Make the return as convenient as the delivery

With our Returns service, your customer can easily book a return from home, and we then collect the parcel from the door or mailbox. Convenient for the customer and simple for you.

Frequently asked questions about Early Bird Express

The most important about code, packaging, and collection. The conditions for the return itself are set by the store you shopped at.

What does Early Bird Express mean?

It means that the parcel is delivered the same night it is handed in within a defined area.

How fast is Early Bird Express?

We deliver the parcel the same night we receive it from the online retailer. Deliveries usually take place between 01:00 and 07:00.

Is Early Bird Express available throughout Sweden?

Early Bird Express is a tailored service designed to ensure high quality and speed. Contact us to develop a solution for your business.

What is the difference between Home Delivery and Early Bird Express?

Early Bird Express is faster than Home Delivery because consignments travel directly from the online retailer's warehouse to our distribution terminal rather than to a sorting terminal. This makes it possible to deliver parcels the same night within the area covered by the distribution terminal.

How do delivery updates and tracking work?

The recipient receives notifications by email or text message and can track the parcel on Early Bird's tracking page by entering the tracking number on the website.

What happens if delivery is unsuccessful?

If, for any reason, we cannot deliver the parcel to the door or mailbox, we hand it over to another carrier for delivery to a service point. We keep the recipient updated, and the new carrier notifies them when the parcel is ready for collection. This helps reduce unnecessary returns to the online retailer and makes the process easier for the recipient.
