# Carrier Transit Times by Country

> Understand ship option mapping, carrier selection, and average transit times for domestic and international orders by country of origin.

<div className="page-intro">
  When you configure ship option mapping in your Jetpack dashboard, you're connecting your ecommerce store's shipping methods (like "Standard Shipping" or "2-Day Express") to Jetpack's ship options. This ensures that every order is fulfilled with the right carrier service, at the right speed, and at the best possible rate. This guide explains how ship option mapping works, how carriers are selected, and provides detailed transit times by country of origin.
</div>

## How Ship Option Mapping Works

Your ecommerce store offers shipping methods like standard/economy shipping and 2-day expedited shipping to your customers. In the Jetpack dashboard, you map each of these methods to their corresponding ship options. This mapping tells the fulfillment system exactly which carrier service to use when processing orders.

To configure ship option mapping, navigate to your store integration settings in the Jetpack dashboard. Learn more about [setting up ship option mapping for your store integration](/fulfillment/account-setup/shipping-preferences/choosing-default-carriers/).

### Aggregated Ship Options

When a shipping method is mapped to an aggregated option—such as Standard/Economy (Ground), Expedited, ShipBob 2-Day Express, or Overnight—Jetpack automatically selects the cheapest carrier and service available at the time of label generation. This dynamic selection ensures you get the best rate without having to manually choose carriers for every order.

<Info title="Carrier Override for Availability">
  If an order is mapped to a specific carrier and that option isn't available at the time of fulfillment, the system will automatically override your selection and update the ship option to Standard (Ground) to avoid delays or cancellations.

## International Considerations

When configuring ship option mapping for orders shipping from the US to international destinations, or for orders originating outside the US, the International Ship Option column reviews your domestic ship option setting to determine the appropriate carrier and service available in the origin country.

### Commercial Invoices for Cross-Border Orders

For orders shipping from outside the destination country, a commercial invoice is required for customs clearance:

* **B2C Orders:** The Jetpack dashboard automatically generates and attaches the commercial invoice to the shipment
* **Manual B2B Shipments:** You must manually attach the commercial invoice in the dashboard before the order ships

Learn more about [customs and commercial invoices](/fulfillment/account-setup/shipping-preferences/customs-commercial-invoices).

## Important Transit Time Considerations

<Warning title="Transit Time Disclaimers">
  Carriers do not guarantee delivery dates for standard shipments. Actual delivery times may vary based on several factors.
</Warning>

**Factors That May Impact Transit Times:**

* Address issues or incomplete information
* Customer unavailability to receive packages
* Peak shipping times (e.g., Thanksgiving through Christmas)
* Weather events or carrier delays
* International customs clearance processes

The carriers and carrier services for each ship option are continuously reviewed and updated to ensure reliability and cost-effectiveness. For the latest information or to explore quicker transit time options for your specific needs, contact your Jetpack Success Manager or Jetpack Care team.
