* Need more ammo or a better gun during a firefight in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4''? Don't worry, Drebin offers instant battlefield delivery. Bizarrely, they hint that they use the Mark II to carry the stuff back and forth, despite the fact that it moves nowhere near that fast...

* Played with in ''Series/ILoveLucy'' where the day earlier Lucy buys a hat, breaking her bet with Ricky, so she tries to get him to lose his temper so he breaks his end of the bet before the hat is delivered. After he wins a contract negotiation by keeping his cool, he calls off the bet and tells Lucy to take her time and get whatever hat she wants. She pretends to order the same hat she bought earlier on the phone and asks for their "fastest, speediest delivery." She hangs up and cue the door buzzer immediately going off. Ricky opens the door, the delivery man hands the package over to him and leaves.
