I'm just finishing up the yellowstone portion of my trip and will be heading to the Tetons tomorrow.
I ended up shattering my Lee Enhancer filter and wanted to know if there are any reputable online retailers that deliver to hotels/motels. I know from past experience Adorama and B&H don't.
It sucks to have the filter shattered, as it's great for fall foliage. It was my fault though. I was doing the hike up the hill to get the shot of Grand Prismatic and got tired of repacking the gear every time i moved around to work the scene. I was only going to be going up about 15 feet (it was pretty steep ascent though) and I left my camera on the RRS Omni-Pivot pano head and tripod. Unfortunately, the camera slid out and fell. Luckily, there was no damage to my 1DIV or the 70-200 f2.8L IS II lens, or me Lee Wide Angle filter hood, but my Lee 4x4 Glass Enhancer broke in three pieces. I do have my Singh-Ray color combo polarizer, but I actually prefer the Lee Enhancer over the SR.
Anyway, if anyone knows of online retailers who do ship to hotels overnight, or 2 day service, I'd appreciate if someone can let me know. It would also be nice if they are open tomorrow, so I can place an order ASAP.

thanks for replying Helen! Email sent.
Once when I rented a lens from lensrentals.com, the lens was scheduled to arrive at my destination a day earlier than I was supposed to. So, I had them hold the package at the FedEx and picked it up once I reached the place.
I needed a GND filter to replace one that was "lost" in my Jeep. Called Singh Ray, told them what I was trying to do and my filter showed up the next day at the front desk of the condo we were staying at. The important thing is to let the place you are staying at know you are expecting something the next day. Greg

I am sorry I am late to this conversation but in fact we do. You cannot place an order with shipping to a hotel/motel via our web site but you can initiate the order via email or do the whole thing from start to finish on the phone. There are some restrictions designed to ensure you're the one placing the order and you're the one getting the ordered goods but it's entirely possible.

Great to hear! 'though truthfully, it was Joel in our verification department who pushed this through for you, so I've copied your thanks over to him - and his manager.
NB now you know where I am if you ever need help with anything in the future - but, please note last shipping time from Adorama before Rosh Hashana, 1:00 ET today September 28th
Also, please note Adorama upcoming Holiday schedule http://cot.ag/nfsgly, and plan accordingly. We appreciate your understanding & business
