My book listings, with USPS mail class of Media Mail, all show a 2 day time-frame from shipping date to arrival date. This would be correct if Media Mail was Priority Mail. But it isn't of course.
I have two Etsy shops with Media Mail, and the arrival time on every book listing is dead wrong in both. I see plenty of Etsy book listings for other sellers with Media Mail pricing and correct arrival dates, so I can't account for the problem with my listings, other than I use calculated shipping?
And because I use calculated shipping, Etsy's help page suggestion to use the "custom" shipping option on each listing to correct this programming error is not a viable work-around.
I have already extended my processing time to try and minimize the ludicrous delivery promise that Etsy is making on my behalf.
When I look at your listings I see a 7 day delivery time.
Remember if you are looking at your shop while logged in it will show you delivery times to your address.
Media mail could conceivably arrive in two days if it's being shipped in the same town.
I'm seeing 11 days for all of them because you are in PA and I'm in AZ. The ships to zip code makes a difference.

Thanks for checking and letting me know. I had NO idea that delivery zones would apply to Media Mail delivery dates. I still find it hard to believe that anything Media going to the regional distribution hub would move that fast. But color me relieved!!
