Estimated delivery = submission date + processing days + 2 × mailing days. Uses calendar-day arithmetic and the editable user assumptions; it does not fetch official current processing estimates, appointment availability, or delivery guarantees.
Frequently asked questions
How is the estimated delivery date calculated?
The calculator adds the processing days you enter and the mailing days for both directions to the submission date, using calendar days. It does not apply urgent-service multipliers, convert business days, fetch live processing times, or include appointment availability.
