Abstract
When a user accesses a seller webpage for an item for which expedited shipping is available, data regarding this access is provided to a separate fulfillment service that is able to deliver the item. A control on the webpage, that may be provided to the seller by the fulfillment service, presents an initial estimated delivery time based on the network address of the user's device and a known location of the item. The user may provide input to the control to access a user account, and a location for the user account may be used to update the estimated delivery time. If the item is purchased, the fulfillment service may determine payment information for the user account and process payment and delivery of the item. If an additional item not fulfilled by the fulfillment service is also purchased, data for this purchase is provided to the seller website for processing.
