Blue Nile Shipping Times and Delivery Estimates
Blue Nile shipping time depends on your order value and destination. Delivery windows run from your ship date, not the date you place your order. Processing time comes first, then transit.
Estimated delivery timelines by order type:

What locations does Blue Nile deliver to?

Contact our Diamond and Jewelry Consultations team to help arrange an alternate delivery location before you place your order.
Does Blue Nile ship to APO/FPO/DPO addresses?
Yes, we ship orders under $25,000 to APO, FPO and DPO addresses via USPS Priority Mail. Standard U.S. delivery timelines do not apply to these addresses, and arrival times vary by destination. For full details on military shipping options and eligibility, visit our military shipping page.
How long does it take to receive a Blue Nile ring sizer?
Ring sizers are sent via standard mail and typically arrive within five to seven business days of your request. If you haven’t received yours within that window, contact our team, and we’ll follow up with you.
Getting sized before your order is worth the wait and reduces the chance of needing to resize after your ring arrives, which adds time to the overall process in the long run.
Does Blue Nile offer free shipping?
Yes, free shipping is included on every Blue Nile order, regardless of order value. There’s no minimum purchase and no code required; it’s standard on all domestic orders.
Fully insured, secure carrier delivery is also included at no additional cost. Blue Nile shipping covers the full transit value of your order from the moment it leaves our facility to delivery.
When will I receive my order?
Your delivery date depends on the processing time and the shipping method for your order. In-stock items typically process within one to three business days. Custom and made-to-order pieces may take longer.
For orders over $500, Blue Nile's shipping time is overnight. Orders under $500 will ship in 2 days. You’ll receive a confirmation email with tracking details as soon as your order ships.
How do I track my Blue Nile shipment?
Once your order ships, you’ll receive a shipping confirmation email with a tracking link. That link takes you to your order status page, where you can track your shipment in real time.
Tracking is available for all domestic Blue Nile orders. If your tracking information hasn't been updated within 24 hours of your shipping confirmation, contact our team for assistance.
