Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

It is quick and deep without ever resorting to condescension, and it will appeal to discerning instructors who would like to raise the bar for their capable students.
