if you put express mail it would get to you within 3-5 days

well depends if its in states, you cam get the shipping that it would be shipped in 2-4 business days.. but you might need to pay a lil more than original shipping.. if paying for normal shipping, might be about 10 days or less!

The answer varies by seller. It is usually disclosed. If not, you should ask. There are many ways to ship items, and the delivery times vary widely. Usually, you can, for an additional sum, request expedited delivery.

It all depends on the company's particular mode of delivery, and how far away you are from the facility. Many companies will offer expedited service for an extra fee, which will assure your product is shipped promptly, but it's always best to research the shipping policies on their websites. They will give you a good guideline. As for Ebay, every seller is different in shipping times, and they SHOULD include info on how soon they ship, but sometimes don't. A lot of Ebay sellers are home based, and if they have an issue getting o the Post office on any given day, that can delay a shipment. If your Ebay seller does not explicitly state which days of the week they ship on, or what methods they ship by, you always have the right to ask, but do it BEFORE YOU BID, because a bid is a binding contract of purchase. I have sold on Ebay, and have been asked to expedite service to priority 2 day or some other, and was more than happy to agree. Bottom line, read the fine print, and ask questions on shipping times if need be. 3 weeks seems like a pretty large window for shipment/arrival to me, and unless the product is back-ordered, should not be a problem....but ask first!!
