Postage Policies – You can select couriers, dispatch and delivery times for your items, the site will always show the user the average delivery windows rather than the targeted e.g. Royal mail economy second class aims for 2-3 days but often takes 3 – 5 so when you select economy it will give a 3 – 5 day estimate. This minimises the worry for the end user if royal mail fail to deliver in the target window but will also bring them great pleasure if they succeed as the item should almost always arrive earlier than estimated.
