Estimated shipping time - UPS surface

Place your order by 1 pm (for next day) Eastern time for same day shipping. The table below shows the estimated number of business days it will take your order to reach you in the continental U.S. if it's shipped UPS surface.

Most orders will reach their destinations within the number of days shown below but these shipping times are not guaranteed. If you need guaranteed service, we recommend UPS Air services or Federal Express.

For the sake of clarity, let us spell out what the numbers below mean (The shipping date is not counted in the estimate.):

  • Two days means an order placed before 1 pm on Monday will most likely arrive on Wednesday
  • Three days means an order placed before 1 pm on Monday will most likely arrive on Thursday
  • Two days shipped on Thursday will most likely arrive on Monday. (When shipping at the end of the week do not count shipping date, Saturday or Sunday)

For estimates of alternate methods of shipping, see our page on shipping policies and prices .


Please note that days in transit counts only business days--that is, Mondays through Fridays not counting holidays.
