These items typically arrive within one week of shipping. Please reference the estimate on the product page for the most accurate estimates. Espresso machines ship freight, which typically requires up to a week for delivery.
Renewed Espresso Machines
Renewed machines typically dispatch within three business days. Espresso machines ship via freight and can take up to one week to deliver within the U.S. Delivery can take longer when shipped internationally due to scheduling logistics and customs.
Backorder or made-to-order machines
