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..!

I generally get delivery email updates after the package has been delivered.

 

Your best bet is to check tracking every so often on ebay (and if the carrier is shown -- go to the carrier's website and enter the tracking number there -- it often gives more up-to-date info than what ebay shows).

 

As for the delivery estimate, it is an estimate -- I have gotten packages from China weeks before the first date.  Europe has usually been near the end of the estimated time period.

 

Also, depending on how sent, there may be more than one delivery company involved (one to get the package to Canadian customs, then one to deliver in Canada).
