how long does standard flat rate take from Georgia to aurora Illinois what is standard flat shipping
If this was an eBay transaction it might take four or five days. Some sellers use "standard flat rate shipping service" instead of telling you it's coming First Class, Media Mail or Priority Mail. The only "real" flat rate shipping is by Priority Mail and it should take 2-3 days from PA to NY. When shopping online (non-Ebay) they ask that you allow up to a week. But, it usually takes just 1-3 days.
The standard time is 3 to 5 business days from the time the mail gets to the post office. This is a pretty vague question. There's no way to decide how long the item will be in transit without mentioning specific cities from where the item is being sent from and to. Also, "standard flat rate shipping" is a generic term. Unless a specific courier (such as USPS, UPS or FedEx) and shipping service (such as "Ground" "Express Mail" "2-Day Air") are mentioned, there's no way to tell.
