Amazon Transit Times Help

I am extremely confused by Amazon transit times. I don't get why there are multiple times for the same service. When I create a listing it lists this: Standard Shipping 4 - 14 business days $5.49 3 - 5 business days Qualified sellers have the option to offer reduced shipping times. Learn more $5.49 Expedited Shipping 2 - 6 business days $8.47 1 - 3 business days Qualified sellers have the option to offer reduced shipping times. Learn more $8.47 1. Why does standard and expedited both have two different times? 2. Why can't I unselect 4-14? Can I not offer 3-5 only for standard? 3. If I select all 4 what the heck does the buyer see? 4. When I select all four I did a test by creating a new account and trying to buy to see what it looked liked. Judging by the delivery dates it listed it was using the 4-14 standard and the 2-6 ex. So it was ignoring the shorter times anyway. Why? Really confused by this. What I would LIKE to offer is 3-5 standard and 1-3 ex only. Is this not possible?
