Upgraded (extra fee) shipping is offered for 2 day or overnight
service. Those are available from the Postal Service, Fed Ex and UPS at
Amazon's discretion.

What sort of order of magnitude is that extra fee?

In my experience, standard shipping for a $10 book might be $2, two day service
might be $10 and overnight might be $15.

Amazon US has a deal where standard shipping is free if you order $25 or more
worth of merchandise.

They also offer Amazon Prime, for $80 per year, where you automatically get 2
day shipping included on any order filled directly by Amazon. So it only takes a
few orders before you "break even" and you get the benefit of 2 day delivery.
