How it's used
Refers specifically to items sent via courier services rather than standard postal mail. While it appears in formal contexts like shipping labels or tracking systems, native speakers often prefer the more versatile term 快遞 when talking about the service or the item itself in daily life.

Common mistake
Learners often confuse this with standard mail sent through the post office, but it specifically implies a private courier service. Using it for a regular letter sent via standard post sounds unnatural.
