Title: (update: < 2 weeks) Italy to USA shipping time if everything goes smoothly?
Post by: dragonfly on December 02, 2016, 06:45:44 AM

I know, dream on, right?  :biggrin:
It's been awhile since I've ordered internationally.
If all goes smoothly, how long should I estimate a parcel in a box shipped Poste Italiane to take to the USA? Thanks in advance.

In my experience it can vary quite a bit. There are a few factors to consider such as the shipping method the seller chose (economy, standard, express, etc) and where you are located in the US. I live on the East Coast and generally receive my items from Italy in 1-4 weeks.

I ordered an item November 4th and it arrived probably around the 26th or 27th?
So it was a bit of a wait

Thanks! I see it's in the USA as of 12/3 so hopefully won't be long until delivery. They said they were shipping DHL but then they didn't. :\

Congrats! That's pretty fast in my book. Glad your item arrived in a timely manner  :)
