How Long Does Zales Take to Ship?

The average shipping time for Zales orders varies by item, according to our communication with the company. The representative said you can find order processing and shipping estimates on each item’s product page. For example, an item may require three to five business days for processing, plus shipping time — which varies by the shipping method you choose.

We looked at various item listings on Zales’ website and found a range of necessary processing times, which don’t appear to be linked to an item’s price or exclusivity. (Zales offers a number of exclusive items from designers like Vera Wang and Jane Seymour.) Processing typically takes between one and four business days but may be as long as up to four weeks.

Shipping time is in addition to processing. Delivery options and approximate prices are as follows for U.S. and Puerto Rico street addresses:

  • USPS Priority Mail: About $8
  • UPS 2nd Day Air: About $7; will arrive within two business days
  • UPS Next Day Air Saver: About $22; orders must be placed by 11 a.m. (CST) and must be in stock
  • UPS Saturday Delivery: About $33; orders must be placed on Thursday or Friday by 11 a.m. (CST) and must be in stock

U.S. territories and APO/FPO addresses must select USPS Priority Mail but at a higher price of about $20. A signature may be required for UPS orders.

After you’ve placed your order, you can track your package using Zales’ Order Status page.
