The following transit times are provided as general estimates only and are not guaranteed:

- GCC Countries: 2-7 business days
- International Destinations: 7-21 business days
Actual delivery times may vary depending on:

Reviva does not guarantee delivery dates and shall not be liable for delays occurring after a shipment has been transferred to the carrier.
2.3 United Arab Emirates Cut-Off and Next-Business-Day Delivery
Orders within the United Arab Emirates that are confirmed and paid before 18:00 (6:00 PM) Gulf Standard Time are generally prepared for dispatch the same business day and, in most serviceable areas, delivered the following business day. Orders confirmed after this cut-off, or on weekends, UAE public holidays, or non-business days, begin processing on the next available business day.
2.4 Temperature-Controlled Handling
For deliveries within the United Arab Emirates, temperature-sensitive items may be dispatched in insulated, cooled (cold-chain) packaging intended to help preserve product integrity during transit. Shipments to other GCC markets and international destinations travel under standard ambient conditions owing to their longer transit windows and are not sent cold-chain. Customers remain responsible for returning items to the recommended storage conditions promptly on arrival, in accordance with each product's handling guidance.
2.5 Tracking Information
Tracking information will be provided once an order has been dispatched.
Tracking updates are supplied by third-party carriers, and Reviva is not responsible for delays, interruptions, inaccuracies, or omissions in carrier tracking systems.
