When you use our shipping search engine to compare prices and services, you will see different service options that you can contract. You can also filter by type of delivery (Economy, Express, Standard).
Transit times are detailed in the blue box to the left (24 hrs, 24/48 hrs, 3-4 days, etc.). Please note that apart from services with guaranteed delivery, all transit times displayed on eBay Delivery are approximate and are based on the estimates of the transportation companies.
To calculate the delivery date of your shipment, please consider the following:
- The first transit day is the one following the collection.
- Remember that Saturdays, Sundays and holidays don't count are not counted when calculating transit time. This means that if you finalise an order with collection on a Monday with a transit time of 3-4 working days (and there are no holidays in between) then it would be delivered on Thursday or Friday.
- Customs inspections are not included in the transit time calculation.
During the purchasing flow, in the services search results, you can check all the information you need, by clicking on Details, as displayed in the following screenshot:
