Amazon 6M’s research

Amazon calculates delivery estimates by adding the transit time to the estimated
shipping date. Transit time is based on your chosen shipping speed. We calculate transit time
using business days. Saturday and Sunday don't usually count toward the transit time. An exception
to this is when a weekend delivery option is available during checkout. We also take holidays into
account when calculating the transit time.
For some delivery dates, we may provide an "order within" countdown timer. This shows the window
of time in which you must place the order to receive your delivery by the date shown. The date is
subject to change before you place your order. Your order confirmation email will include your
confirmed delivery date. After an order ships, you can track it in Your Orders section

FREE Two-Day Shipping through Amazon Prime

If the item you order is out of stock or unavailable to ship immediately, you may not receive the item
in two business days. Selecting One-Day or Two-Day shipping reduces the transit time to one or two
business days after we've shipped your order, but won't impact the time it takes to obtain the item or
prepare it for shipment. The shipping method time starts when the item ships. For example, it takes
up to two business days after an item ships to reach you with Two-Day Shipping.

FREE Shipping

Your order will arrive within five to eight days. We process and ship your order in the most
cost-efficient way possible so we can offer free shipping. If you notice that your items haven't
shipped yet, don't worry. We may take a little longer than you expect to ship out your order, but we'll
ship in time for the expected delivery date.

Orders Placed with Amazon Marketplace Sellers

Delivery dates may vary for orders placed with Marketplace sellers. For more information, contact
the seller directly. If your order is eligible for Amazon Prime, Amazon Customer Service handles any
questions about shipping and delivery after you place an order. For more information, go to Seller
Shipping Rates.
