Envyl has no control over how long it takes a merchant to ship or deliver ordered items and can only guarantee the 10 day maximum delivery period once a Envyl Traveler receives the item.

How long will it take for me to receive my item(s)?
Envyl does not give any guarantee for an exact day you will receive your items as that highly depends on how long it takes for the merchant to get the item to us or our travelers.
However, we guarantee 5 - 10 days delivery to you from the day we (Envyl or it’s traveler) receives your items from the merchant.
How long does it usually take to receive the items from the merchant?
Delivery estimates from the merchant depends on the merchant we are purchasing from. We wouldn’t know
for sure when we would receive the items until the order is placed. Some merchants deliver in 2 days, some in 8 days, etc.
How much do you guys charge for shipping / How much is delivery / How is the cost calculated?
Our delivery fee depends on the weight and price of the item you would like to purchase. We typicallycalculate the Envyl delivery fee with the following formula "$5 per pound + 0.20 x price". We have a “Get Delivery Estimate” tool on the
homepage of the website.
What if I have already purchased the item / Do I have to purchase the item through Envyl?
Unfortunately, for now, Envyl does not deliver items that have already been purchased or items that are not purchased

Travelers that any items mailed to them will be purchased by Envyl from a trusted merchant.
Do you deliver items from only the U.S./ What if I want to shop from stores outside the U.S.?
We currently only deliver items from U.S. online stores or stores that ship to the U.S. There are some
stores outside the U.S. that ship to the U.S. or have warehouses in the U.S. If the item does not ship to the
U.S. then we wouldn’t be able to match the item with a Envyl traveler. If you are unsure whether or not
the store you would like to order from ships to the U.S. Please send us (
[email protected]) a link to the store
you would like to shop from and we will let you know if they do ship to the U.S.
