How Long Does Reverb Take to Ship My Gear?

I’ve recently purchased a couple of items from Reverb, and I find myself wondering about the shipping times. Since it often varies based on the seller’s location and the method of shipping chosen, it would be great to get some insight from the community.

What to Expect

When I placed my order, I noticed that the seller mentioned shipping within 2-3 business days, which seemed reasonable. However, I’ve heard some folks say it can take longer depending on a variety of factors. Here are some points I think would be helpful to discuss:

  • Seller’s Shipping Policies: How do I know what to expect from a seller? Are there standard practices that most sellers follow?
  • Reverb’s Responsibilities: Does Reverb itself handle anything logistics-wise, or is it solely on the seller?
  • Tracking Orders: Once an item is shipped, how can I track its progress? Is there a way to get real-time updates on where my package is?

Typically, shipping times on Reverb can range from 3 to 10 business days, depending on the seller’s location and chosen shipping method. Sellers list their shipping speeds, so always check that before purchasing!

That’s a great point! I once waited nearly two weeks because the seller was overseas. Expedited shipping is definitely worth considering if you want it fast!

Shipping can also depend on holidays or weekends. If you order right before a long weekend, you might experience delays.

So true! I once had a package delayed because of the holiday rush. It’s definitely a risk to keep in mind when ordering around that time.

What about different shipping methods? Does anyone have experience with standard versus expedited?

I’ve used both! Standard shipping took about a week, while expedited got to me in just 2-3 days. Totally worth the extra cost if you can swing it.

I guess it all depends on how urgently you need your gear! I’m always in favor of supporting smaller sellers even if it takes a bit longer.

Exactly! Sometimes, a little patience can lead to a better deal from a passionate seller. I think it’s worth it, especially for unique items!

Anyone know how weather impacts shipping? I hear that can cause delays too.

Weather can definitely impact delivery times. If there’s a storm, your package might sit in a hub for days. It’s always a good idea to check local forecasts!

That sounds a bit dramatic! Wouldn’t it be funny if our packages started sending us weather updates instead?

Reverb usually provides a tracking number once your gear ships. You can find it in your account under orders. Just click on the order and it should show the tracking information.

That’s great to know! Do they update the tracking automatically, or do I need to check myself?

From my experience, they do send updates through email, but sometimes those emails can end up in spam. So keep an eye on that folder too!

Good point! I’ll make sure to check my spam. What if there’s a delay? Should I just wait it out?

If there’s a delay, I recommend contacting Reverb’s customer service. They can usually provide more details. It’s better than just wondering!

This makes so much sense. I always just assumed they’d get back to me right away if there was a problem! Thanks for the guidance!

What’s their response time like? I’ve heard mixed reviews!

It varies. Sometimes I’ve heard people get a response in a few hours; other times, it can take a few days. Just be patient, I guess!
