Why Does "next Day", "2nd Day" Or "3 Day Shipping" Deliveries Sometimes Take Longer Than That to Arrive?

Next Day, 2nd Day Air and 3 Day Shipping orders placed after 2 p.m. Eastern Time will not be shipped until the following business day. Next day air packages arrive by end of day on the first full business day after shipment, 2nd Day Air packages arrive the second full business day after shipment and 3 Day Shipping packages arrive the third full business day after shipment.

Placing your order very late in the day, after the shipping service provider has picked up their last shipment, is one factor that can affect shipping time. As a rule, you can expect orders shipped Next Day to take 2-3 business days to arrive, orders shipped 2nd Day to arrive within 3-4 business days and orders shipped 3 Day Shipping to arrive within 4-5 business days.
