Title: Keyboard Co Usual Shipping time to USA
Post by: qmdunn on Tue, 25 December 2012, 01:42:29
Pulled the trigger on a Filco Ninja with Browns from Keyboard Co.  Anyone know the usual shipping time to reach the states?  I ordered it last Friday so I'm not sure if they got it shipped out for the holidays, but I'm just curious nonetheless.

AFTER they ship it should arrive in about a week via either usps or UPS/FedEx. Hopefully they will ship within a few business days.

Have you received it yet? How long did it end up taking?

Just an fyi, if you live in the US and Amazon doesn't have the Filco you're looking for, it's worth it to check out Ncix.ca. They ship internationally and they have more variety than what Amazon usually does. May be cheaper and faster to go through them.

Well they usually ship same business day/next business day according to the top of their site and they use FedEx ground. I'll edit this post in a minute with a FedEx link you can use to find out how many days it'll take.

Edit: Here you go and they do FedEx does deliver on Saturday.

You could also use this, select outbound, and enter their zip code 37062 - http://www.fedex.com/grd/maps/ShowMapEntry.do

I rarely use Fedex because they are the most expensive, and their nearest shipping location is farther for me than the PO or UPS.

However, their tracking is, by far, the best, so you if you use them, you will know where your package is, at least, regardless of how long it takes.

I'm 99% sure $9 shipping (Domestic Standard) is FedEx ground. I say that because up top it says
Code: [Select]
Your entire order ships Monday January 14th for only $9.00*
* Valid for in-stock orders to the continental United States only. (excludes FedEx holidays)
I don't think they use anything other than FedEx and for light packages that aren't little (Bigger than a USPS Small Flat Rate Box), FedEx has always been cheaper when I've shipped items.
Furthermore, Domestic Express and Domestic 3-day are the only other options I see and they probably equate to Fedex 2 day and FedEx Express Saver respectively.

I've been shipping computer parts for quite awhile and I completely disagree with the most expensive part. The only exception would be if you're shipping tiny first class envelopes/packages or a USPS Small Flat Rate Box as mentioned above.

Edit: And no, I do not work for FedEx :p

It was very fast after it shipped.  It was over the holidays and they were closed so it didn't ship for about a week.  But after it shipped, it only took about 3 days.
