Question about Buy.com shipping...

[Cruisin1]

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?

uhm, order it there??
You won't really have anything to print that is lifethreatening before then.

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).

Whenever I order something through the 'net, I always estimate 1 week for delivery.

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