FAQ
Why is my cheap international order taking so long?
Economy cross-border services use postal networks and consolidated freight, then hand off to a local carrier and pass through customs — each step adds days. Two to four weeks is normal.
Do weekends count?
Most transit-time estimates are in business days. Standard and ground parcels usually don’t move or deliver on Sundays, and often not Saturdays.
What slows a package down?
Distance, customs, weekends and holidays, peak season (late November–December), weather, and an incomplete or wrong address.
Times are typical ranges, not guarantees. Your carrier’s tracking shows the real estimate once scanned.
