I need to order a printer for college, and I've picked out a nice epson 900g printer from buy.com. My dilema is that I'll be leaving to college on thursday and I'm wondering how long it takes usually to get packages from them?? I can't have it shipped to my dorm unless it gets there AFTER I arrive becuase they return to sender on any packages that arrive before you do. Anyone?

Well if you order on a weekday before 5pm it will ship the next day. Ground delivery times vary depending where youre at. Consider ground to be 3 days as far east as montana, 4 days to michigan and 5 days to the east coast.Consider that a minimum.

it depends where their suppliers are. They have a warehouse in southern california and one in tennessee i think for computer stuff. I live in socal so sometimes it takes 2 days, but if they have to ship from tennesee its like 7 days for me.

I placed a small order there last week, and got my package two days later via USPS Priority Mail (I had asked for ground shipping).

Usually I get stuff from them very fast, 2 or 3 days. Maybe you should wait until Weds/Thurs to order it.
