Most stores provide information on what they use to ship, and it tends to be
pretty standard - USPS, DHL shipping (for international), et cetera. Information
on the average range of ship times for those shipping methods are available on
the site of the shipping method. So why not add the ability to filter for those?
Or, at least, filter by shipping method?

This is tricky because shipping methods vary with an order size. It's barely
able to take into account the existing limits on order size (minimum order amount
is supported, maximum lot number isn't), so I don't think it would be
easy to filter on shipping carrier.

The closest we have right now is the filter on stores that don't ship to
your registered address. It isn't perfect, I've been suggested stores
supposed to ship to me but when going to check my cart out, it said that it wasn't
shipping to the state of New York.

Are you asking for the time from when the order is placed, or the time from when
the courier first touches it, and handles it to the destination ?

BL sellers are typically small independent operators, and their fulfillment time
can vary widely.
