Hi, I’m going to Chicago from London with my family in February and I’d really like to get a few things from US eBay to take home with me. How will I be able to get things delivered to me when I’m in Chicago?
Call the hotel and ask.
I have done this before and it’s hit or miss if the will hold the package for you.
Correct. They’ll usually just hold it at the front desk. Make sure it’s addressed as with something “Guest : Mr Johnson”
IL do that later today thanks!
IL do that later today thanks!
I see what you did there.
What did I do?
If that was genuinely a typo, it’s brilliant!
Chicago is in Illinois, whose 2 letter code is IL 😁
oh 😂
Be aware that with eBay, shipping times can vary.
The seller has a grace period to pack stuff up, and even once it’s handed off, shipping can take longer than the estimate, especially with USPS.
You can say that you will pick the things up at some location instead of them being delivered to you. Sometimes you can just send them to a pick up location directly. If not possible, once you get a tracking link you can change the destination and redirect to a pick up location.
Thanks mate!
As another option, there are storage lockers and other places you can have things shipped to as well. UPS and some others have these services. I’ve never lived in Chicago so do some research around where you will be staying.
You will need to add the hotel address to your eBay account. Otherwise asking a seller to send an item to a different address makes you sound like a scammer.
Most hotels accept guest packages.
Thanks!
