Our estimated shipping dates are based on several factors, including your destination address, how quickly we can obtain and assemble items for shipment (the "usually ships within" time listed on a product's detail page), and whether you have requested that we minimize the number of shipments or ship items as they become available. The estimated shipping date is displayed on the order form, just before you place your order.

We calculate delivery estimates by taking the estimated shipping date and adding the time it takes a package to travel from our facilities to your destination address, based on the shipping speed you've chosen. Orders for multiple items or multiple copies of a single item can take longer to assemble before we're able to ship them to you.

For example, if you order an item that is listed as "usually ships in 2-3 days" and select standard U.S. shipping (which typically takes 3-5 business days), you can use the chart above to determine that your order should arrive 5-8 business days after you place it.

Read below for the answers to related questions:

What if I want to get my items faster? You can select a different shipping speed by clicking the radio button next to that option on the order form. Note that changing your shipping speed to a faster method will not improve the estimated shipping date, but your estimated delivery date will improve. If you want to change your shipping speed after placing the order, visit Your Account.

If I request One-Day Shipping, will I get my order the next day? Not all of the items listed on our site are available immediately, so selecting One-Day or Two-Day Shipping does not necessarily mean your order will arrive in one or two days. There is no weekend pickup or delivery for One-Day or Two-Day Shipping. Also, when you select One-Day or Two-Day Shipping, we may use air or ground shipping as necessary to get your items to you within the promised time frame.

How much does shipping cost? Visit our U.S. Shipping Rates, U.S. Protectorates Shipping Rates, or International Shipping Rates pages.

What if the estimated delivery date has passed and I still don't have my order? If the order is being fulfilled by another seller, you'll need to contact that seller directly; you'll find a link in the order summary in Your Account.

Orders that are fulfilled by Amazon.com and shipped via a trackable method (such as UPS) will have tracking information available in Your Account. Please check this information if available and read through the following options:

• If the tracking information indicates the package has been delivered, please check with your neighbors or family members. Packages are occasionally left with neighbors, a building manager, or are placed somewhere relatively safe such as your porch, garage, or even behind bushes.
• If the tracking information indicates the package is being returned to us, or if the address is incorrect, it may have been undeliverable.
• If there is no tracking information, or you cannot locate the package and it is not being returned as undeliverable, please e-mail us.
