Domestic Standard Shipping

Domestic Standard Shipping is a delivery option that a buyer may choose when placing an order. With the Domestic Standard Shipping option, buyers in the U.S. may expect to receive their orders in 3-5 or 4-14 business days, depending on the seller’s settings, and international buyers should expect shipments of 7-32 business days.

Exceptions

For most products, sellers determine their shipping schedule, but for Books, Music, Video, and DVD (BMVD), orders must ship within two business days.

Carriers

Sellers may use any carrier of their choosing to deliver their products, as long as the expected delivery time schedule is met.

Note: Sellers may offer buyers other delivery options as well, including Domestic Expedited Shipping, Domestic Two-Day Shipping, Domestic One-Day Shipping, International Standard Shipping, and International Expedited Shipping.
