Water Delivery FAQ - Page 6 - The DIS Discussion Forums

mdrob214 · 02-22-2011, 10:57 AM

We used Turner Drug. All we wanted was water, so I found that to be the cheapest option for 2 cases delivered. I liked the option to use PayPal with Turner.
We've also had Garden Grocer deliver, but that was when we wanted other items like yogurt, juice, etc.

Garden Grocer will deliver alcohol. I put a note at the end of my order that said I would like to order a 6 pack of beer. One of the representatives called me (the next day) and we decided on what brand, bottles or cans, etc. I payed for it individually, and they needed my drivers liense info to 'verify' my age. We traveled last Thanksgiving so I placed my order over a month ahead of time. Everything was waiting at the resort (BLT) for us when we arrived. (They did forget 2 items, but it was delivered the next morning)

They are very friendly and deliver fresh, good quality food! I have used them 4 times now and have ordered everything from just water and sodas to a weeks worth of groceries.
I ordered water and sodas from them when I traveled last year and stayed at ASM. our items were delivered to our room an hour after we checked in. Hope this helps. If you have any questions, please feel free to PM me.

This may be too late for you but I thought I would post it anyway in case anyone else was wondering about Amazon. We used Amazon in January to order a case of Fiji water to the Poly. I have a prime membership so 2 day shipping was free. I ordered it 3 days b/f our arrival and had no trouble. At check-in I asked about a package and they checked and said they would deliver the box (plain brown cardboard- you would never have know it was water) to our room. We were so thirsty after our plane travel and since we were in the building right next door, I asked if we could carry it ourselves. Super easy.

Has anyone used Staples??? What happens if items arrive prior to your date of check in? Do you have a comment put in your reservation or something? Rather have it be there early and be waiting for me.

We used Staples 3x. I always have them deliver it a day or so before we get there. It gets stored for us until we get there. I then call bell services whom pulls it from storage and delivers it (usually with our luggage as we use ME). One time Staples showed they delivered it, but bell count not find it. Staples redelivered the order the next day. No regrets here.

We will be at POFQ at the beginning of September and were considering having a case of water delivered as well. Then I found a great suggestion on one of the threads that suggested Bobbles. They are bottles with a filter built in. You can check out their website. The bottles are less than $10. Target carries them. I think we're going to go this route which will be cheaper and more "green".

Planning a trip where we won't drive or have a rental car, so we're looking into water delivery.

I went on Costco's website, and they show a Nestle 24 pack of water for $7 that says it includes shipping and handling. Can anyone verify that Costco will still deliver to resorts? I've read many mixed reviews where people said it worked and others said they were told their order wouldn't go through.

Thanks for all the useful info!!

It worked for me in January at AllStar Music. Hopefully someone's ordered more recently and can verify. I'm hoping to order it again when I go in Sept.

Sounds silly because of airline restrictions on baggage, but has anyone brought water in their checked luggage?

Bushman15 · 07-04-2011, 02:48 PM

We are staying at the POLY 7/9-7/16. Just ordered 2 cases of water online for $16.00 with free S/H.

We did the same thing two years ago... Used Staples for delivery to AKL. Must buy $50.00 at staples for free S/H though.

The order went through just fine and I received an email confirmation that the cases will be delivered 7/7... I'll let you know how it all works out when we get there. Bell Services always had our water waiting for us upon checkin every other trip. I can't imagine it will be any different at the POLY.

5 days and counting.... yahooo

Bought from Costco right there in Kissimmee... I'm sure the stuff ships from a warehouse somewhere though. Allow 2-3 days shipping. Mine should be delivered Friday at the lastest and waiting for our Saturday am arrival!
