Is half.com shipping fast?

[Leros]

I just registered for another class today. Classes start on Tuesday and I'm pretty sure I will need this book the first of day of classes. Its $165 at the coop, $140 on Amazon, and $75 on half.com. Big difference in price.

Will half.com be able to ship to me by Tuesday if I do the expedited shipping?

It is part of ebay. Expedited shipping is normally priority mail. You can always contact the seller after buying and explain that you're in a hurry. BUT like the op said, "It depends on the seller..."

It depends. One time it took nearly a month before I had my book. Good thing we never used it once for class. Other times it came pretty quickly. I try to order the book near where I live and get expedited shipping (since I am saving so much anyways).

Yea. I try to order a week or two before classes. I tried for 2 weeks last time, and I got everything before classes.

Check the seller's feedback. Read as many of the comments as you can. I've had great luck with half.com, but I only buy from sellers with perfect or near perfect feedback.

I recently ordered 3 books from half.com, and they all came within 3-4 days with expidited.
