Le premier signifie rapide, accéléré; le deuxième a le sens de spécial, par porteur spécial. Le courrier dit à livraison «par exprès» signifie par porteur spécial et n'a pas bénéficié d'un acheminement accéléré (ou express), contrairement à une idée communément répandue. 3, record 3, French, - livraison%20express
