Choosing a Shipping Date

Summary:

Each seller sets the days of the week they ship. By default, your order ships on the next available shipping day after the auction ends—but you can choose a different date if you prefer.

Default Shipping Date

Automatically set to the seller’s next shipping day after the auction ends.
Helps ensure orders are processed quickly without extra steps.

Changing Your Shipping Date

You can choose a date other than the default in two ways:

From the Product Detail Page
- Before or during bidding, go to the product page.
- Select your preferred shipping date under Shipping Preferences. You must be logged in to do so.
From Your Order Detail Page
- After winning, go to your Orders page.
- Open the order and update your Shipping Preferences.

Important Notes

You can only select dates the seller has made available.
For live animals, pick a day when you can be home to receive the shipment.
