How Fast Can You Get a Copier Delivered?
When your office copier breaks down or you bring on new staff, waiting weeks for a replacement can be stressful. The good news is that copier deliveries are often faster than you think—especially when you know what happens behind the scenes.
At Pahoda Copiers & Printers, we make delivery and setup smooth, predictable, and quick. Exact timing depends on your copier model, location, and whether setup happens onsite or remotely. Here’s what you can expect.
Typical Delivery Time: About Three Weeks
Most copier deliveries happen in about three weeks from the time your lease is signed. That timeframe includes paperwork processing, ordering, and scheduling delivery through specialized freight carriers.
Commercial copiers are heavy, often weighing more than 100 pounds. They travel on trucks built for large, delicate equipment—not standard UPS or FedEx routes. This careful handling ensures your copier arrives safely and ready for installation.
Why Some Copiers Arrive Faster
Not every copier takes the full three weeks. Smaller A4 copiers (desktop models) can sometimes arrive sooner—especially if already in stock. In some cases, our team can even complete installation remotely with assistance from your onsite contact or IT department.
Larger A3 copiers—the floor-standing systems common in busy offices, schools, and medical practices—take a bit more coordination. Their advanced finishing options like booklet makers, staplers, or hole punch units can extend shipping and configuration time slightly.
Whatever model you choose, our team keeps you updated every step of the way.
When You Need Something Right Away
For urgent needs, many businesses use a small multifunction printer (MFP) from a big-box store as a temporary backup. These compact printers handle basic copying and printing immediately and can serve as a dependable spare once your main copier arrives.
Because of their size and weight, overnight shipping for business copiers isn’t cost-effective. A short-term desktop unit helps your team stay productive without breaking the budget.
What Happens After the Copier Arrives
When your copier reaches your city, we schedule delivery and installation. Our technicians handle everything—unpacking, connecting, and testing—to ensure your system runs perfectly on day one.
For A3 models, setup happens onsite. For A4 models, installation may be remote or in person depending on your needs. Before we finish, we test all major functions—print, scan, and fax—and confirm your copier connects properly to your network and devices.
How to Speed Up Delivery
You can help shorten the overall process with a few simple steps:
- Complete paperwork quickly. Lease approval triggers the ordering process.
- Choose in-stock models. We keep popular Canon, Xerox, and HP copiers ready for faster delivery.
- Coordinate with IT early. Having network access set up saves time during installation.
These small actions help your copier arrive and start working sooner.
