Shipping Considerations for Amazon Snowcone

When you create a job to order a Snow Family device, you specify a shipping address and shipping speed. This shipping speed doesn’t indicate how soon you can expect to receive the Amazon Snowcone device from the day you created the job. It only shows the time that the device is in transit between Amazon and your shipping address. That time doesn’t include any time for processing, which depends on factors including job type (exports take longer than imports, typically). Also, carriers generally only pick up outgoing Amazon Snowcone devices once a day. Thus, processing before shipping can take a day or more.
