The short answer
Stated standard delivery in this table starts at 1 to 4 business days and tops out at 5 to 8. Stores that ship from a US distribution center, such as Princess Polly and Petal & Pup, say so on their pages.
The numbers are stated ranges, not promises, and each store words them its own way.
Processing, transit and door to door
Processing is the time to pick and pack. Transit is time with the carrier. A door-to-door estimate adds both. Forever 21 quotes transit "after the order ships". Hello Molly says orders before 2 pm PT ship the same day.
A 4 to 8 day figure and a 9 to 19 day figure are not directly comparable if one counts packing and the other does not. Read what the clock includes. The shipping time guide explains one door-to-door quote.
Items from different warehouses
Some stores ship one order in more than one box. Each box may arrive on a different day with its own tracking number. If an order arrives in two packages, that is usually why.
Planning backward from an event date
Take the longest number in a store's range, add a few days for a size swap, and order by then. For a wedding or a trip, order two to three weeks ahead. Faster options cost $9 to $30 in this table, so decide whether the date is fixed.
Free shipping and speed
Free shipping lines run from $50 to $160 in this table. Aritzia is free on US orders when you are signed in. See the free shipping comparison and the return policy comparison.
How this was checked
Every figure is from the store's own shipping page, read on October 17, 2026. Shipping times change around the holidays, so check the live page. PeachSunday's own range is on its shipping policy page.
