How long does shipping take on average?

The average shipping times vary depending on the shipment’s destination: 1-2 business days for local shipments, 2-3 business days for regional shipments, and 5-7 business days for cross-country shipments.

For deliveries to rural or remote areas, please be aware that additional time may be needed for the shipment to reach its destination.

It’s important to note that shipping times can be influenced by peak seasons, such as holidays, when shipping carriers handle increased volumes. Delays may occur during these periods.

Additionally, adverse weather conditions and natural disasters can disrupt shipping operations, potentially resulting in delays. It’s advisable to consider local and destination weather conditions when estimating shipping times.

Given the potential variability in shipping times, it’s prudent to plan your shipment well in advance, especially if you have specific delivery deadlines or time-sensitive requirements.
