Question

What is the difference between estimated shipping date and estimated delivery date?

Answer

They mark two different moments. The estimated shipping date is when your order leaves the shop, while the estimated delivery date is when it reaches you. The date shown online at checkout refers to shipping, not arrival.

TermMeaning
Estimated shipping dateWhen the order hands off to the carrier
Estimated delivery dateWhen it arrives at your address
  • Delivery always comes after shipping, once carrier transit is added.
  • Transit time depends on the shipping method and distance to you.

To estimate arrival, add the carrier transit time to the ship date shown on your order.
