If you are looking to buy something that you need relatively quickly (ie.a
formal outfit for a mate’s party on the weekend) most search engine’s
have a search bar that lets you choose to shop only from sellers within a
certain distance from where you live’ so, if you need something fast, you
can search for sellers closest to your town/suburb.
You can also look for items with a ’get it fast’ feature where the seller has
committed to have the item sent out to you within 24 hours of receiving
