The question “Can You Pet A Great White Shark?” is one that sparks immediate curiosity and perhaps a touch of fear. Approaching the unknown, especially something as formidable as a great white shark, requires careful consideration and understanding of the environment. Similarly, when you place an order with pets.edu.vn, you’re likely wondering about the journey your purchase will take and when it will safely arrive at your door. Let’s dive into the waters of our shipping process to clarify what you can expect, without any actual shark petting involved!
How Long Will My Order Take to Arrive? Navigating the Shipping Timeline
Think of our order processing as preparing your expedition gear before you set sail. At pets.edu.vn, we operate Monday through Friday, ensuring that orders placed during the week are processed, carefully packed, and dispatched within 24 hours. Once your order leaves our harbor in Los Angeles, CA, the transit time is largely determined by the currents of the USPS, much like ocean currents influence a shark’s journey.
If you’re located on the West Coast, you can anticipate a swift delivery, often within 1-2 days – practically swimming in the same waters as us! However, for those residing on the East Coast, the journey is a bit longer, requiring a few days to reach you, similar to a shark navigating across a wider expanse of ocean.
For our international explorers, shipping times are more variable, influenced by the unique tides of each country’s customs office. Expect at least 7-12 days for international deliveries. Sometimes, like encountering unexpected ocean conditions, international orders may take longer. However, shipments to Canada and Mexico often arrive quicker, within 3-5 days, and our customers in the European Union typically experience smoother sailing as well. Delays can occasionally occur in Eastern European, African, or Asian countries due to customs procedures or other factors outside our control – much like unpredictable weather patterns at sea.
To help you chart your course, we provide a shipping calculator at checkout. This tool offers a shipping cost estimate and a delivery time estimate, allowing you to plan your expectations. Consider adding an extra day to the estimated delivery time, just to account for any unforeseen waves along the way.
What If I Place an Order on the Weekend? Weekend Shipping Tides
If you place your order over the weekend, think of it as preparing for your dive while waiting for the weekday currents to begin. Orders placed on weekends are processed, packed, and shipped on Monday, when our team is back in the shipping harbor ready to set sail again.
Where is My Tracking Number? Following Your Order’s Journey
Once your order is processed and ready to embark on its journey, you will receive an email from USPS containing tracking information. This is your navigational tool to follow your package’s progress, much like tracking a tagged shark’s movements. This email is usually sent within 24 hours of your order being processed (excluding weekends). Sometimes, these emails can be caught in spam filters, so be sure to check your junk email folder before reaching out to us – just in case your tracking information is simply hiding beneath the surface!
Do You Ship Internationally? Global Shipping Waters
Yes, pets.edu.vn ships worldwide! We are happy to send our products across the globe, reaching customers in numerous countries. However, like the costs associated with deep-sea exploration, international shipping costs can be higher. Therefore, we strongly encourage you to use our shipping calculator before finalizing your order to understand the costs involved. Typically, shipping for 1-2 items to most countries outside the U.S. ranges from $15 to $20 and may take 7-12+ business days to arrive. Consider this the cost of safely transporting your goods across international waters.
What is Route+ Shipping Protection? Your Shipping Safety Net

Think of this as your personal submersible, offering extra protection during your shipping journey.
