Estimated Receiving Times

These estimates apply to shipments that arrive compliantly. Non-compliance will cause forwarding and receiving delays, as they require corrective action. Check out our What is non-compliance? article for more information!

These estimates represent when the first units of a SKU will be available; NOT when all units of an inbound will be received. In addition, these estimates do not account for potential macro receiving disruptions like winter storms. Estimates are provided in calendar days.
