What's the Cyber Monday delivery expectation?

As an e-commerce merchant preparing for Cyber Monday, I'm trying to understand the customer expectations around delivery times. With increased online shopping and potential shipping challenges, I need to set clear, realistic delivery expectations that will help manage customer satisfaction and reduce potential post-purchase anxiety. What are the current industry standards for Cyber Monday delivery, and how can I communicate these expectations effectively to my customers?

TL;DR - Quick Answer

Customers expect 3-5 business day delivery for standard orders placed on Cyber Monday. Be explicit about cutoff times for expedited options. Under-promise and over-deliver: if you can ship in 2 days, say 3.
