The normal processing time is:

4-5 business days for regular service
2-3 business days for express service

The estimate is based on information you provided -- if you make changes (e.g. substitute postal express mail with FedEx Express), the result may change.
This is only an estimate and is provided solely for the convenience of customers planning for travel arrangements. Under no circumstance can this be viewed as a service guarantee.
Please allow at least two extra days to cope with unforeseen circumstances.
Please note that the shipping time may be different from what was used to do calculation. For example, priority mail with delivery confirmation usually takes 2 days, but may take 3 days depending on distance, and may take a week or more before/during a holiday.
