What does dispatched in 1-3 working days mean?

On the product page for all our products, we quote the dispatch time  - e.g dispatched in 1-3 working days. These vary by product as we use several different suppliers. please note this is NOT how long the item will take to be delivered to you. The dispatch time is simply the time either we or our suppliers need to process and dispatch your order. Please then allow our usual delivery times once dispatched.
