If I order a c-2020 from buy.com, how long will it take to ship?

Does anyone have any experience?

Thanks,
David

In CA, I tend to get their stuff between 2-4 days.

I recently ordered two 32mb SmartMedia cards from Buy.com on the
internet one morning. The items were shipped UPS ground
(according to the shipping label) and they arrived before noon the
next day. (They came in a box about 18x12x6 inches !!!)

I'm in New Orleans, I'm not sure where the items were shipped from.

I agress with GC-in Oregon I usually receive items in 2-4 business days, but I just checked and the 2020 is currently "on order" instead of the normal "usually ships in 24-48hrs" so I don't have a clue. ---------------------------------

I ordered a C-3030 last weekend, with two day shipping. Shiipped on Monday, received it on Wednesday. I'm happy!

David,

I ordered a 2020 from http://www.buy and did the regular ground shipping because it was free at the time. I am in Ga, they shipped from Ca. and I received my camera in a weeks time.

Buy.com is great!! They are my favorite mail-order company all-around.
Shipping is fast and tracking is well done.

However, Buy.com is admittedly lax on the website being up-to-date. As anyone who
has ordered from them will know, just because their website says it is in stock
does not mean it actually is. I waited about a month past the release date of

Austin Powers 2 for my DVD to arrive. It showed in stock the whole time but calls
in to them let me know that was not ever the case.

I love ordering from them, but I reccomend you always call to verify the stock of
an important item.

Jimmy

their biggest plus is that they will match any other company that has the item in
stock within 24 hours of placinjg your order. That allows you to avoid the quick
"best buy" risks of less-reliable companies like Best Stop Digital.

Thanks everyone, you have confirmed the good stuff I have heard about Buy.com.

But what I was really wondering if anyone had experience wiht how long does would it take to get a c-2020 if it isn't in stock at buy.com - i.e. if they have to order it from the factor.

Thanks agian.

David, I ordered mine on the 11th. I called them today and the person I spoke
with told me they should be in on the 17th or 18th. They also ask me to call

back Monday because it could be sooner. I would like to have mine by next weekend

and they didn't seem to think that would be a problem. Eighty are back ordered and they have 800 coming in. Let me know if you hear something before I do.

I alos ordered mine from buy.com and they did not ship kept saying it was backordered. I finally found it in stock for 569.00 at a mailorder place called harmony computers 1-877-harmony and bought it from a great salesman who knew the product and realy helped me out his name was michael and i think his extension was 206 or 207 I am not sure.

good luck

David, to give you a guide line, I ordered my C2020Z from eCOST.com at 9:30 in the morning and it was delivered at 12:00 noon the next day. It is a matter of whether they actually have the merchandise in their inventory or if they order from wholeseller when the customer orders from them These cameras are not in short supply.

I will keep you all posted!!!!

Thanks

Simply call them (buy.com) and ask the question; they have a toll free number. Normally, you can depend on the accuracy of their answer. They are a great outfit to deal with.

Called buy.com this morning and they said they are expecting a shipment on 6/1 not this week.

coollass · May 16, 2000

When I order from them, I usually get the ground shipping but I get my products in 2 days. I just ordered accessories for my C2020 yesterday and hope to get that tomorrow.

karl20238 · May 16, 2000

I'm not very happy with buy.com at the moment! In the three calls I've made I've gotten three different dates as to when they will ship. I called on the 13th and they told me they should ship on the 17-18th. I called on the 15th and they told me next week. I called today, the 16th and they told me not till the end of the month! How can a company that big not know when the &^$@ there product is going to be in and ship! I spoke with a supervisor today and spoke my mind but for what? You think they care? Not as long as the bottom line looks good. I've always had good luck with buy.com but when it comes to back orders they don't have a clue and they don't seem to care!
