About T/A and shipping.
This post is intended to provide clarity on the shipping of products from both domestic and international sources. Often individuals confuse the source they purchased from, and the shipping provider as one entity. This is a huge misconception. The source you purchase from is a provider of goods, as the purchaser you are the receiver of goods. In between these two entities, is the shipping provider. Often you will see a source offer different ship methods for you’re convenience. Some individuals find themselves in a rush therefore sources may provide next day shipping to accommodate that. These services are above the norm and are often not offered or provided unless specifically requested.
Much like how the source is a provider of goods, the postal carrier is as well. These are the guys that move the product from A to B. Weather it be UPS, USPS, Fedex, or DHL, one thing remains the same. They provide the service by which your order is shipped. The source you purchase from becomes the customer of the shipping provider, in order to send you what you have purchased. Once the shipping provider takes possession of you’re order it is no longer under control of the source you had purchased the product from. They do not control the shipping carrier. Any actions that take place once a package has been shipped are the responsibility of the shipping carrier. Assuming all address information on the package is correct.
Anytime you ship a package through a shipping service you have the option of selecting different ship methods. You will get what you paid for in most circumstances. Shipping times and delivery dates are an estimate based off what the system predicts. There is no guarantee on service unfortunately unless it has been otherwise specified and paid for. Many things can happen with the postal system that are simply due to technical error. Unfortunately these mistakes are not under control of the source you purchased you’re order from. The issue is with the shipping carrier.
Being that most packages will ship via USPS I have included this for you’re information.

You will also notice a domestic disclaimer that reads as follows:
“In most cases, the expected delivery date printed on your receipt or provided at checkout will reflect a delivery time of 1, 2, or 3 business days and is based on origin, destination, and drop-off time. The expected delivery date does not come with a money-back guarantee.”
By following this link you will see rules and regulations for international shipments. There are many complexities with international shipments. One should note Saturday’s and Sunday’s are not viewed as operational days.

Individuals should plan orders around potential postal service delays just in case. As the old saying goes, “anticipate sunshine but prepare for rain.” It is far too often that I see people try to blame a source due to extended ship times or carrier mishaps.
