Jen: Not a big deal. No worries.
Tony: Then, we’ll go ahead and take care of this and we’ll ship this from here and it should leave the store on Monday.
Jen: How long does it usually take? How many business days?
Tony: So we just do standard ground shipping. So we always quote 7-10, but it usually takes a lot less than that. It usually take around 3-5 business days. But they do this every day, so you are in good hands.
Jen: I ‘m sure. I’m sure I’m in good hands. Thank you!
