Current Estimated Shipping Times
Currently SCI orders are estimated to ship in 2 - 6 weeks from the time the order is processed through the SCI Store. Please contact the vendor for more accurate ship times.

Specifying a Shipping Address (Home vs. Dormitory)
All students living in the United States are encouraged to order their computers as early as possible after the store opens so that delivery to a home or summer address is possible.

Beginning mid-August, you should specify your Campus shipping address for delivery of your SCI computer. This is your Princeton dormitory mailing address. If you do not know your dormitory mailing address, please call the Housing Office at (609) 258-3127.

It is difficult to receive large packages at your dormitory. Common carriers will make three delivery attempts, and then return your computer to the manufacturer. We encourage all students to order computers during the summer if possible so that delivery to a home summer address will be possible.

Remember, the SCI purchase is a transaction between you and the SCI vendor.  Princeton is not involved in shipping or receiving SCI computers.

Shipping to Princeton
The University cannot accept delivery of your computer.  If you will arrive on campus early because of participation in a special program, you may wish to make arrangements with the coordinating party for that program.  Please understand that any such arrangement would be between the student and the party that agrees to accept the package; they are under no obligation to accept computer deliveries and may decline to do so.

Rushed Delivery
Computers will be shipped in the order in which they were ordered.  We encourage you to order your SCI computer as soon as possible. Generally, we are unable to affect the delivery time of an order. In some circumstances we might be able to request a change of shipping method to expedite an order once the computer is built and imaged. However, please note that this is only rushed delivery; the machine must still be constructed and could still take several weeks to ship after being ordered.
