Timely Shipments

I have very general question. I've purchased two guns so far on Gunbroker. The first shipped the same day I paid for it. The second shipped 7 days after I paid for it. What should buyers expect?

to receive the gun they buy....
Unless it is specified in the auction, I'd think that shipping within 3-4 days would be acceptable, depending on the type of payment used. The only real way is to ask the seller before bidding.
To get the gun they purchased.
File this under: questions to ask the seller before bidding.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
That it depends...on the seller, the day of the week, their other auctions, holidays, shipper backlog, from/to locations, payment method, etc. The item description and buyer feedback are a good clue. You could also ask the seller before/during payment submission. I've never waited more than a couple days, but I select sellers partly on their record of timeliness.
Here's a paste from a GB help reply on 5/20/22: "GunBroker.com recommends the seller and buyer make contact within 4 days, buyer makes payment within 10 days from the time the listing ended, and the seller ships the item within 14 days from the time payment is received. Please, make sure to review the seller's listing and Terms of Sale for specifics regarding their transaction process."
