I bought a Dell laptop and got some car cameras delivered to my sister in New York who was going to come into London this week. Biggest problem now is that she is not coming any more and I need those items badly. My other sister who works in an airline is coming to Chicago from the 12th evening to the 14th afternoon.
I'm asking for a big favour off someone who stays in Chicago.
If you are in town those days can I ask my sister in NY to send this stuff over to you before hand and will you be able to meet my sister visiting Chicago on the 13th to hand this package over to her.
Please PM me if you can help. With you address and telephone number. My sister is going to be staying at some Holiday Inn but she doesn't know which one as yet.

I'm in New York so I cannot assist directly but once your sister knows which hotel she is staying at in Chicago, your New York-based sister could send the package (insured) to that hotel to be held for her arrival.
I would call the hotel first for specific instructions first however.

That was my original idea but sometimes what happens is that at last moment airline staff are moved around between hotels. So she knows which hotel she's in only when she actually gets there.

Why can't she just fedex them to London or why can't she bring them with her to Chicago?

OK guys, for now its all sorted. The reason i bought this laptop from the US was the specs are not available in the UK, I do not know why Dell do this. The laptop is going to my sister's friend in Chicago who will try and meet up with my other sister.
Problem is now my other sister doesn't even know if she's going to Chicago anymore. I cannot understand how airline staff do their jobs - forget not knowing the difference between night/day but not knowing what country you will wake up in is something else.
