What is Processing days?

In short

Processing days are the time a shop needs before an order leaves, added on top of any delivery time.

A long handling window quietly adds to the wait before a parcel turns up, and it matters most when a release date is fixed. Processing days gives the number of days the shipping page states. Abracadabra NYC needs 0 to 1 day, and Amiclubwear takes 2 days, while Cosplay Shopper allows 2 to 15 days. Pre-order items usually sit at the long end of a shop's window.
