3-7 Business Days is just a range. They aren't going to list every address in the country and the individual expected delivery time to each and every place. It also includes the time needed to process your order and get it ready to ship.
Yes, it's a legit site.

Since it says UPS ground, I can gaurantee that it will take atleast 2-3 business days. If you are in the same city as the place you ordered it from, it usually takes a day. But since you are in orange county and your pkg is coming from LA it should take atleast a couple of days. I'd just give it uptil 4 days. you can also track your order online using your tracking number.
About the website, it does not look like a well know website and I wouldn't trust it. WHen I shop online I usually do it from amazon.com or another well known sites. But if you want to try it out I'd advise you to use a credit card which does not have a lot of credit limit and which you don't use for your regular purchases. Good luck.

They are just covering their a**, for folks living where you live & getting a package from lets say.... some tiny town where UPS only picks up every 2 days, it would be reasonable for it to take 3-7 days. They have the address to address in there to give a less generic time frame & give a realistic time frame based on distance.
Even though the traffic may make it feel like 3-7 days, they most likely will get it to you in 1 because it doesn't has to travel very far. Though, if it's picked up late in the day, it might take 2 days.

Since you're in the same area as LA, UPS is saying they'll typically get a package delivered the next day after it's shipped. The 3-7 business days the seller shows includes the time the seller takes to get it shipped plus the UPS time. Your time to get it would probably be closer to the 3 days - mine, near the east cost, might be closer to the 7 days.

Maybe because you are so close to the shipper the UPS site said it would get there sooner. I'm sure it wouldn't arrive in one business day if you were in Alaska so the seller puts the standard time guarantee for UPS ground which is that it will be delivered in no more than 7 business days.
As for the website - I can't comment there - I've never visited it myself

Use the UPS tracking # to find out where it is.
