So im thinking about  buying a camera from amazon.com and sending it to the hotel i will be staying at. I don't live in America but im hoping to pick it up when i go this weekend, how long do you think it takes to ship the item? And will it be there when i come.

This is the camera.
 
Thank you.

Ship it overnight. I don't see why it wouldn't show up in time as long as you're willing to pay to make sure.

It could take up to a week. It took my Scott Pilgrim books to two weeks to get here, but it probably depends on the sender.

Yes i just might do that, don't want to fly for 6 hours and not get the product, it will have 4 day's to ship so it might be risky.

I know a lot of people that send things to hotels they are staying at in the States, stupid Canada and it's stupid taxes... I would pay extra (if you can) for a faster shipping time though, just to make sure.

It should tell you how long it will take once you select a shipping option.
