<p>Approximately how long does it take to receive your books using "medial mail" shipping from half.com?</p>

2

<p>anywhere from 7 days to 2 weeks. The main thing, is the seller processes the order quickly and sends it out fast. That was the main problem I had last year. Otherwise, you may want to ship it to your dorm room (call the front desk and ask for what your address would be like).</p>

<p>7 days to 2 weeks? That should give me enough time then. I'm living in the university apartments, so I'll have them ship it there. Thanks. :)</p>

<p>Where does the book go if you have not moved into your university apartment? I know if you live in the dorms, it went to sproul, but what about the university apt?</p>

5

<p>It should still go there? Since it's an apartment deal they'll leave it outside the door most likely, and if not, they should leave you a note for pickup whenever you are available (or leave it at the post office).</p>

<p>"Leave it outside the door" seems a little scary, haha. Someone could steal it! </p>

<p>Bleh, unsure on what to do. Oh well, I still have a week to go and I guess I could just drive back if a book does not arrive on time :(.</p>

<p>Contact the postal office and go through the process of forwarding your packages there. This way, you will not have to worry! </p>

<p>My apartment does not have a mail room. I'd rather not have the packages lingering outside of the mail boxes.</p>

<p>I seriously doubt that it'd get there if you're moving in next week. (saturday that is). 5 business days, if you order on monday it'll get there midweek of the next week if they do it fast. Also, where are you ordering it from?</p>

9

<p>I'm ordering it from various places (half, ecampus, B&N). </p>

<p>I took the easy way out and just chose to have them shipped to my house. I have friends who commute and have to pass my house on the way to UCLA, so I can ask them if they could bring me my books if some don't end up here quick enough.</p>

<p>oh i mean, i just meant from where in the states :D but i'm sure you have it figured out.</p>
