In German e‑commerce the term Standardversand usually refers to the default, often cheapest, delivery method. Many shops make it free for orders over a certain amount, so customers often ask ‘Gibt es Standardversand?’ in a casual tone. The contraction ‘gibt's’ is fine in spoken language or informal chat, but in formal writing you should use the full form ‘es gibt’.
