Sometimes it probably comes in over 2-3 days. They would rather tell you an overestimate than an underestimate, so people don't get upset at their deliveries taking longer than 3 days.

The 19th principle of life: CYA If they guaranteed 2 to 3 days lots of people would be gripping and moaning if it took longer.

they'd rather overestimate and have you be happy that it came early, rather than underestimate and have you be angry in case it took longer
