Cultural Tip
In Italy, 'spedizione standard' usually means delivery within 2‑5 business days, but the exact timeframe can vary by region, especially between the mainland and the islands. The word 'standard' is an English loanword that has become commonplace in Italian e‑commerce, so it sounds natural in a commercial context but might feel out of place in formal writing.
