The estimated delivery date is very approximate... Will I be informed of the exact delivery date?

I just did my first purchase on ebay today: "Delivery info: Arrives Apr 8, 2025 - Apr 22, 2025". Shipping from USA to Canada...

I wonder if I'll get an email or phone call later telling me the EXACT day of delivery... Something like 24 hours in advance... I can't stay indoors for two weeks waiting for a small package..!

UPDATE: package ships from LA California with USPS, and will be processed by eIS...

Delivery dates are estimates only. Especially when coming internationally. Customs and other things can cause delays. You can only judge when it is at or just past the delivery date. Remember, your seller has NO actual control of when your parcel will be delivered. They just ship according to what you paid for. When it comes to deliveries patience can be a necessity. 

You can sign up for delivery updates (alerts) from your tracking info if you need to monitor closely. That will alert you as your parcel moves on its way. Remember, tracking only tells you where your item has been.

"You can sign up for delivery updates (alerts) from your tracking info if you need to monitor closely." Yes, that's what I want. I already got an email saying tracking is on... So, do I need to periodically login to ebay to check the tracking status, or will I automatically receive emails at every tracking step..?
