What Is the Processing Time for an Item?

The processing time is the length of time the shop needs to get an order ready to ship, or the length of time between when you place an order and when the shop ships your order.

If an order is custom, the processing time will include the time it takes to create the custom item.

Sellers can set the processing times for items in their shop. The processing time can vary from item to item within one shop.

If you’re worried your gift may not arrive on time, you can create a gift teaser to let the recipient know that something special is on the way.

You can find the estimated delivery date for an item on the item’s listing page:

  1. Select an item you’re interested in on Etsy.com.
  2. On the listing page, scroll to Shipping and return policies.
  3. Find Order today to get by with a date range. This range takes factors such as the seller’s processing time and the postal carrier's latest transit times into consideration.
