Ships in a USPS First Class Ground Advantage poly mailer with acceptable shipping business day handling times. Shorter handling times equal quicker deliveries. Buy with confidence since I'm Top Rated and known for super fast shipping. Bottom line, I don't ship hundreds of items a week, just a few; so you know your item always gets the attention it deserves.
- There may be extended delivery times during the holiday season(Oct, Nov, Dec) due to the unusually high volume of Christmas packages being processed at USPS. Logistical issues, pandemics, severe weather conditions or nationwide staff shortages added to the sheer volume of packages will definitely increase delivery times during these holiday months. If USPS avoids these unforeseen circumstances than your holiday order should be delivered in a timely fashion.
Need The Item Quicker? Choose The Priority Shipping Option At Checkout:
For most of my USPS First Class Ground Advantage listings I have a Expedited Shipping option(Priority Mail) at an additional cost at checkout. Priority Mail, based off of the thousands of items I've shipped; on average gets to you 1 to 2 business days quicker than First Class Ground Advantage Mail barring any logistical issues with the post office. To see what the additional cost will be for USPS Priority Mail, look for Shipping on the eBay listing on your computer and click "See details" to the right of it. If you are using the eBay app, click on "Est. Shipping" under Shipping and a drop down list of shipping pricing options should appear. You may either see 2 shipping prices or a mix of Free Shipping and Expedited Shipping(USPS Priority Mail). Why? Some of my listings have free standard shipping(USPS First Class) and others I charge for it. If there is a shipping price for Standard Shipping(USPS First Class) as well as Expedited Shipping(USPS Priority Mail) and you upgrade to USPS Priority Mail, you will only be charged for the USPS Priority Mail option and not both. If you do not upgrade to Priority Mail at checkout, then the standard shipping cost(USPS First Class) will be the only shipping cost added to the total price. If the listing offers free shipping then no standard shipping cost will be added. Please feel free to message me if you don't see a USPS Priority Mail option, might want to upgrade to USPS's fastest 2 business day guaranteed Express Mail or you are having trouble trying to upgrade to the Priority Mail shipping method at checkout.
- Can Priority Mail take longer than 1-4 Business Days to be delivered? Unfortunately, yes. First Class Ground Advantage and Priority Mail delivery dates are not guaranteed, only estimated by USPS as stated in their "fine print" that most people like you and me don't ever read. On rare occasions where USPS is having local or national logistical issues or is experiencing an unexpected high volume of packages then 5+ business day Priority Mail delivery can happen. As stated above, the holiday season is a notorious time where Priority Mail delays are very common because of the high volume of Xmas gifts. Keep this in mind. No amount of complaining or yelling at a USPS employee is going to speed up the Priority Mail delivery date. Trust me, I've done both. Haha!! The good news is USPS try's at all cost to avoid Priority Mail shipping delays since it's a premium paid shipping service. USPS knows if they were constantly missing Priority Mail estimated delivery times, no one would pay extra for this expedited mailing service. Again, this is why you should always choose the Priority Mail option if you need your item as soon as possible(ASAP). For just a little more than First Class mail, it's your best shot/value besides the pricey USPS Express Mail service to get a package delivered quickly to you.
