All orders ship from Port Charlotte, Florida. Why is Chicago Electronic Distributors shipping from Florida you ask? It is a long story, but rest assured we were founded in Chicago and we are an Illinois corporation. The good news is that the move has had no effect on delivery times.
We currently ship orders to the contiguous states, Hawaii, Alaska, US territories, armed forces locations, and Canada. Orders placed by 2:30 pm Eastern Time Monday to Friday typically ship the same day.
