Is 17 days too long to wait for a package to be delivered when shopping on line?

Question

I ordered a guitar on 4-5-08 being shipped from Utah to Florida. It will arrive on 4-22.

Answer 1

Generally when ordering from a large company like Guitar Center, Sam Ash or Musician's Friend, delivery time is just about a week for in stock items, even guitars. It depends on whether or not the guitar was in stock or on backorder, or was a special order item. Also, if you ordered from an independent company or a private seller, it may take over two weeks for the seller to access the guitar and allow proper shipping time.

I would contact the seller to see if you could opt for expedited shipping, (which will be more expensive) that should help the guitar get from point A to point B a little quicker!

Hope this helps, best of luck to you!

Answer 2

Hmm...that should be okay.

This is because I doubt it was shipped out the exact day you ordered it.

Answer 3

that is a bit long...but its also a larger package coming from across the country.... are you sure it didnt say it would get to you BY 4-22?

Answer 4

Thats not business days. All shipping is done in business days. Business days are Monday through Friday except for holidays falling on the week. The 22nd is actually 11 business days.

Inspect your package when it arrives right in front of whomever delivers it for damage... ask them to wait. Do not receive damaged goods. This will make your wait longer. Look for tears,rips, even dents in it..... open it if you think there might be some. Get a receipt for any item you do not receive.

Answer 5

give them a day or two to ship and that would only be 10 business days, not bad for a larger cross countr purchase, If the site is reputable and the guitar you ordered is what you really wanted, it should be worth the wait, enjoy your purchase/
