Cultural Tip

In many Spanish‑speaking online stores the term “envío prioritario” is the standard label for a faster, paid delivery option. When making a comparison, use ser (es) rather than estar, because speed is considered an inherent characteristic of the service, not a temporary state. Also remember that the adjective must stay in its positive form after más; you do not say “más más rápido”.
