There are very few exceptions such as very large items to very remote countries. (Sorry if you’re looking to buy a static trainer for your Antarctic research lab.)

This is going to depend on which country you’re in and which shipping method you choose. In general standard shipping will take around a month and express shipping will take about half that.
