[edit] A 2005 post

Not sure how this content should be merged into this page I got it from Express Mail which I redirected here. Falphin 15:11, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Express Mail is a trademark of the United States Postal Service. The service provides next-day and second-day delivery to most ::locations within the United States. Express Mail is one of many available courier services.

[edit] Question

This could also be titled Express delivery, and then make this a disamg page. Thoughts? Falphin 22:53, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Sounds like the bicycle courier sector? Honestly, our title currently reflects what the media calls this service.

[edit] Merge suggestion

I already made a suggestion on what to do with these pages here. Lets' see if we can agree on some progress. Please discuss it there rather than cross-post. The main suggestion was to have Express Mail Service (a page you may have missed) should be merged with this page and expanded to become the main and only article. Incidentally this page and Express Mail(USPS) are virtually identical. Cheers ww2censor 04:20, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Done and removed all tags, except I have moved the POV tag to the USPS Express Mail section as I think this is still biased but have no references either way at the moment. ww2censor 03:08, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Globalize

This article has a whole section on express mail in the USA: why? Last time I checked this article wasn't about the US post office... Either add sections for a representative cross-section of other countries or delete the bit on US express mail. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.139.80.102 (talk) 11:21, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

You must not have read the article very closely. It covers accelerated Express Mail worldwide, the EMS service of UPU countries AND Express Mail in the US, all of which use the same term. Indeed it can do with some expansion in all areas, but it is global as it stands. Remember this is a merge of 3 different articles that cover different aspects that are called express mail. BTW, we bottom post. ww2censor (talk) 13:48, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
The intro talks mainly about EMS - the international express mail system - with just a brief nod to domestic services. Yet there is a whole section on the USPS. I think the USPS part should be added to the USPS page and deleted from this one.
