digital gift-card delivery time

is there a reason why the wait time for purchasing one went from almost instantly, to about 15-30 mins, to 3(usually 4-5 for me) hours?

sometimes i want to buy or go eat something on my lunch break, without thinking about it 3-4 hours beforehand. i used to be able to buy it instantly but now i have to wait around for one. the amount of times i ordered something thinking it'd get sent instantly only to find out they changed the wait time for them is ridiculous.

is there a way to have them roll back on the time? 

i'm a patient person but i genuinely don't understand why so much time was added onto the delivery of one when it was perfectly fine before

If you mean its a paypal digital gift card then...........

 

  • When will my gift card be delivered to my recipient?

    You can choose to deliver your gift now, in which case the gift should be sent straight away. In some cases, it may take up to 24 hours for the gift to get sent.
    If you choose to have your gift delivered later, it will be delivered on the date delivery is scheduled.
    We’ll send you a delivery confirmation email once your gift has been sent to your recipient.
