con-SE-gna — three syllables; the 'gn' is a palatal nasal, like the 'ny' in 'canyon'. Stress on the second syllable.
Use this to ask about delivery times before selecting a service. The answer will vary by destination (domestic vs international) and service level.
'Quanto tempo ci vuole' is the idiomatic Italian for 'how long does it take' — literally 'how much time does it take'. 'Ci vuole' (singular) or 'ci vogliono' (plural, for days) are both used. Delivery times range from next-day (posta celere) to 3–5 business days (ordinaria) for domestic mail.

Poste Italiane offers EMS (Express Mail Service) internationally
Italy's domestic postal service has historically been among the slowest in Western Europe. The phrase 'va come la posta' (goes like the mail) is an idiom meaning something is very slow. However, Poste Italiane has improved significantly, and the priority service is now reasonably reliable for domestic deliveries.
