I am wanting to order a C-200 for my sister and brother in law for their combined birthdays and have it shipped directy to them. My uestion is about how long after the posted shipping date would it take to get to Chicago IL USA. I am trying to time it as close as possible to my sisters birthday about how long to expect it to take in transit will help me know when I need to place the order I have about 7 weeks before her birthday on Sept 17th.

Thanks

If I remember correctly it took like 3 days for me to get mine and I am an hour outside of Chicago.

wow that is fast I was guessing 7 to 10 days from China to Chicago are they using air freight or shipping from a warehouse located in USA?

It's coming from china, i'd say 3-4 sounds right..

Why not just order it from Amazon?

Cheap/Free shipping and easier to determine the arrival date.

I prefer to support the company directly why involve a middle man especially with an item which requires continuing support. They developed it and are supporting it why not buy direct giving them all the profit from the sale. Thats my personal feeling I doubt that Amazon is subsidizing Popcorn Hour on the cost of continuing support and development.

3 days to central Indiana for me, when I got mine at school.

(I live in Chicago)

You could always get it shipped to you, and then send it to them yourself.

It's noticeably less expensive at Amazon and they have a generous return policy.

In addition, if you are a Prime member then you get the item via 2nd day air or get it overnight for an extra $3.99.

I can think of lots of reasons to buy an item like this from Amazon.com.

Shipping was $50 from popcorn hour, plus you have to wait for a ship date. I waiting almost a month for mine to ship because I missed the deadline, and then chinese new year.

Plus amazon will replace it a lot faster than going through PCH directly. I wish amazon had carried it when I got mine.

If amazon was selling them when I ordered it, I wouldn't have ordered it direct..

Same here. Amazon is so much easier to work with.
