A little with "Shipping Time" coding please.

Browsing through my listings to see what can be improved. Another poster recently complained that handling/shipping time is not commonly listed and should be. Apparently “same day” and anything more than 3 days is shown, but “one day” is not. So I wondered about triggering the ship time filters on the left of the search page.

Let’s take one specific item:

Figurine Medieval Knight Armor Crusader Mounted on Horseback NEW with gift box item # 362495190226

When I created the listing I selected One Day as handling time.

If I do a search for “figurine mounted knight” my listing comes up along with a bunch of others. On the left the delivery is defaulted to “no preference”

BUT if I change the filter to “one day shipping:” ALL of the listings (including mine) disappear even though I have One Day Handling selected in my listing. Ditto if I select 2 days shipping. BUT if I select 3 or 4 days shipping then a bunch of them do show, but not mine.

Why?

It seems that if I specify One Day handling it should come up if I select One Day shipping. What am I missing?

"Shipping" is total shipping time from the buyer's perspective, not just handling time.  So 1-day shipping means next-day delivery.

I kind of came to that conclusion after thinking about it for a while.

But still - having a one day handling time, considering how many do not, seems that it ought to be a searchable feature.

I don’t remember the OPs accurate screen name but it was something like Mr Lincoln and that was his concern. Is there no way to stand out in that regard?
