Paying for 1 or 2 day air is paid once you checkout online. We do not go by the time you place an order. Also, keep in mind that we do not offer overnight or traditional 1-2 day air and our system gives all customers an estimate. If you paid the cost to have package sent 1 or 2 day air we still have our process in place for orders 14-30 days. Delivery time starts from the time we send out an order, not from the time the order is placed. Please refer to Delivery Time above for explanation.
