Another Garden Grocer Question

[tmkdmom]

We will be at POR from Jan 19-26 for our first trip. We are planning on using Garden Grocer. Will they deliver beer and wine to resorts without us being there?? I have read that they will leave groceries with bell services but am unsure about alcohol....
Thanks!

They did for us last year, had a bottle of wine and 6 pack of beer delivered for my parents.

So were your parents there to receive the beer and wine??
Thanks for your quick response!!!

I'm sorry, I wasn't clear in my post.

The delivery was made when we weren't there.
It was held in bell services. We were eating lunch at the resort, waiting for the call from Garden Grocer, when the delivery was made. Called GG after waiting past the scheduled delivery time and was told they had already delivered it to bell services (without attempting to contact us ) You may want to clarify delivery instructions with them. Other than them not calling, my experience was good- order was complete and delivered on schedule.

I don't see where on the Garden Grocer website you can order beer and wine. Am I missing something? I was planning on just shipping a box myself ahead of time (since I was having trouble reaching the $40 minimum), but if I could order beer/wine, that wouldn't be a problem.

The alcohol order goes in special instructions, but it doesn't count towards the $40. On my invoice, the cost of alcohol was added in the "gratuity" section.

They told me that any alcohol / cig purchases had to be on top of the $40 minimum.....BUT, they still let me do an order of just the alcohol and only because they were coming to the Poly anyway and they did charge me the $12 delivery fee, they said they normally do not do that

This is what I needed to know, thank you for pointing this out! I have a total of $30 in my cart now & was hoping the beer dh wants would go towards reaching the $40 min. Guess I will have to see if there is anything else I need.

Beings I am requesting beer, how do I go about paying? I was hoping to pay now & not have to be present for pick up.

I spoke with Brian prior to placing my final order, and he quoted prices for different quantities and brands of beer. In special instructions, I requested the beer and bottle of wine. I noted the specific cost of each and that I had added them to the cost of gratuity (I also prepaid the actual gratuity). Prepaid using Paypal.
