Every order on Awazon Market moves one of two ways: standard shipping to an address, or a courier who hands it to you. Both run through the same escrow, so the money is held until the goods actually reach you, however they travel.
Shipping versus courier
| Shipping | Courier | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it goes | A postal address or a drop point | A person, arranged in the notes |
| Time | Vendor posts a range, often 7 to 30 days | A few days, arranged directly |
| Tracking | A tracking number, when offered | Rarely formal tracking |
| Best for | Planned, repeatable orders | When you need it a specific way |
Check the vendor's shipping times before you add anything to the cart. They post a per-country range, and it is real. An order that says "ships in 2 to 4 weeks" will not arrive this weekend, and pressing the vendor about it does not make the courier faster.
Where the money sits
From the moment you pay, the coins are in escrow. The vendor ships, you confirm delivery, the market releases the funds. If it never arrives, or it arrives wrong, you open a dispute before the deadline and the market steps in. The practical rule: track the order, photograph the goods on arrival, and only then mark it delivered.
