It might also never come.
Sometimes packages just disappear in transit.
Maybe it lost its label.
Maybe it got broken.
Maybe someone stole it.
Etc.
My experience with packages goes like:
- Most often things I order in my own country or from a neighbouring country arrive exactly on the expected day, or at least the next business day after that. This makes sense because shorter travel has less opportunity for things to go wrong.
- Things from far away have their estimate set for like 60 days from now, because no one knows what boat it will end up etc. Sometimes these things show up quickly. Most of the time it takes a while, but still it arrives before the long estimate date. Sometimes they show up a bit late.
- If they are very delayed then in both cases it means the package is just gone and will never arrive. So I inform the platform that the package was lost in transit and they refund the purchase.
