Estimated Total Delivery Time
Delivery time is based on both the item availability,
1–2 days processing time, and the shipping option you
selected. Please use the following equation for determining
your estimated delivery time.
Processing
+ Shipping Time = Total Delivery Time |
For example, many items on our site 'Ship Immediately'.
If you select US Postal – Priority Mail, for example,
your shipping time will be 1 to 4 business days, depending
on where you live. This means your total delivery time
will be 1 day (availability and processing) + 1 to 4 days
(shipping time). So you can expect to receive this item
2 to 5 business days after you place your order.

your delivery requirement: |
