Ive Just ordered a pair of trainers from Germany for my Christmas,
The estimated time for them is from the coming Thursday to the following Monday

The real question is will they arrive in the first few days or last few?.
First time using ebay so im not familiar any help is appreciated
 
As long as they ship it within a day or two it should be accurate. Might have a delay from customs too.
 
Yeah it said something like shipping within two days, fingers crossed they arrive on time
I appreciate the quick reply thanks
 
I would not consider them accurate. It can be earlier, on time, or later than expected.

In the U.S., reliable eBay seller would notify you either when the shipment has left, or when they have created the shipping label. From my experience, most of the time, this notice would be accompanied with a tracking number of whatever carrier they used.

Once you get the tracking number, you can then expect a decent ETA(estimated time of arrival).

Yes. You are completely correct.

Recently, I've been receiving items 3-4 days after it's shipped out. I've even gotten an item in 2 days before.
