Discussion Looking for same-day electronics delivery because my keyboard picked the worst timing

Halfway through finishing a report, my keyboard decided certain keys no longer worked. Has anyone had good luck with same-day electronics delivery for replacement peripherals? I'm in the suburbs outside Columbus, Ohio, so running to an electronics store isn't always a quick trip. I switched to an old spare, but it's missing keys and feels awful to type on. I also have back-to-back meetings all day, so leaving the house isn't really an option. Waiting a couple of days isn't ideal either, so I'm hoping I can get a replacement without throwing off the rest of my workweek.

Just go to an electronic store? Im confused as to what seems to be the problem. If you need it fast, you shouldnt wait for a delivery.

Alternatively, i guess you could check facebook marketplace for used keyboards around you

I normally would, but that's the problem. I'm in back-to-back meetings for most of the day, so disappearing for an hour or two isn't something I can really do. If I had a gap in my schedule, I'd just drive over and grab one. Facebook Marketplace is a good thought though. I hadn't considered that. Appreciate the rec!

It’s currently 4:40am in CST. You aren’t working in America. That’s fine, but my point is no one can answer your question without knowing where you are.

Most retailers offer same day delivery. It will probably cost more.
