Refurbished Order Processing Time?

[mochimanga]

Hey yall! Just curious if anyone has had any experience with purchasing refurbished products and having a long processing time? I order my refurbished lens a few days ago and while I don't NEED it for Sunday (a week from now) I would like to use it for a wedding I'm shooting and am hoping it will arrive before then, and I ordered because the shipping time was 3 to 5 days. 

Just curious what everyone else's experience has been before I decide if I'm cancelling the order and going to Best Buy to pick it up instead lol

You should call them on Monday and perhaps you could schedule expedited shipping. Depending on the cost of the item it could result in costing more than new.

Greetings ,

I live on the west coast.  If I recall, my items ship from New Jersey.  There is a day or two for order processing and then about 4-days shipping.  Usually takes 5 to 7 days.  Weekends don't count.  If you live closer, you can probably expect faster shipping.

If as you say, you don't NEED it by Sunday, then why cancel your order and spend more at Best Buy?

I live in Michigan.  Everything I've ordered directly from Canon (refurbs as well as new) usually arrives 5 days after I place the order.
