What does "ship date" mean?

Question

I went on ups to track an order and it said

Ship Date: 06-30-2008

Is this the date i am suppose to recieve my order or is it the date when the company sent it out?

Cause I ordered last wendsday takes 5 bussiness days....

Answer 1

thats the date the company shipped it from their location

Answer 2

Ship date is the date it shipped.

Answer 3

It means the date the item is sent out. So say you bought something from eBay and it said Ship Date: 06-30-2008, that would mean the day they're sending the item.

Answer 4

It's the date the company sent it out.
