Abercrombie/Hollister Co. Shipping Speed?, Anyone know on average the time it takes? Options

[totallynora]

I ordered some clothes from both Abercrombie and Hollister Co. and selected Standard shipping since I wasn't too keen on spending $20+ to get them in 2 days. On the website it said 7-10 business days.

First off, if anyone who has shipped these clothes before:

1) Do you know if 7-10 days is fairly accurate? Or is it more/less?
2) Can someone explain business days to me? Do Saturdays count? ugh.
3) If I live in Washington and the clothes are located in like, Ohio, do you think I'll get them by March 1st (the day I have to go on a class trip)?

Mmm, yeah. I'd appreciate any help I can get. Their shitty Package Tracker did NO GOOD for me.

business days are everything but the weekend. like saturday and sunday arent business days. i bought from them before it took a decent amount of time.


shipping and delivery are two different things.

shipping-means how long it takes for them to get the item ready to ship out.
delivery-means how long it takes to get to your house. So first comes shipping then the additional days are the delivery. Thats where they trick you, you are only paying for how fast they get the item prepared for delivery, when you pay extra its not going to get to you as fast as you think

i.e. they make a computer for you and it takes one week [this process is shipping] but then the delivery takes 2 weeks. So it takes you three weeks to get your computer in.

it also depends on where they are shipping it from, if they have a warehouse close to you then mostlikely it will take 1-5 days. but if you are far then it takes longer.

The tracker is only activated after shipping, after they get the package out, then they are going to track where your package is going. Since you live in washington it will probably take the longest. So you definately wont be able to check up on it the day you ordered it.
