Cultural Tip
In Italy, delivery times are often given as a range because traffic and kitchen workflow can vary. 'Arriva' is informal and common in spoken Italian, while 'sarà consegnato' sounds a bit more formal. Remember that 'tra' (or 'fra') is the preposition used for ranges; using 'in' would imply a single duration, not a span.
