Charges for shipped packages

[DonnaL]

I saw awhile ago people were being charged at all resorts for shipped packages. I'm aware Disney has charged for many years for packages at the convention resorts (Contemp, GF, BW, YC/BC and Coronado) however, has anyone been charged this past month for a shipped package to Boulder Ridge Villas (VWL) and how much is the charge. I'm planning to send a package ahead with some kitchen items ...dry goods...that I don't think Publix carries and my daughter wants to add some baby stuff to the box also. I've sent a box prior to our visits for years and I've only been charged once....at BWV....but from posts I've read recently I believe that's changed.

Please note that a $5 per package handling fee will apply to all packages that are received through the Front Desk or are delivered to your Disney Resort hotel room.

Does this also apply to DVC villas?

It only states Disneyworld hotel rooms?

Package fees apply at all WDW owned & operated resorts (which includes DVC).

Those resorts with business centers (aka convention resorts) have a different fee structure since the business center is operated by a 3rd party (Ricoh).

Due to a mix up between our Doctor and the pharmacy, we had to ship some rather expensive refrigerated medicine to the Grand Floridian. I tried to give the pharmacy the address, but they said the address would not fit on their label. So I gave them the number of the Grand Floridian. The GF talked to the pharmacy and gave them the exact information so that it would arrive at the right place.
When we checked in, the cast member said "Ah, you have a package." Our villa was not ready so she said to mention the package when we called bell services to bring up our stuff. So we want to MK for a couple of hours and came back when our room was ready.
Called Bell Services. The package and our luggage were delivered to the room within about 10 minutes. There was no charge for the package, but I did tip the Bell Services cast member for bringing our stuff. Bell Services is awesome at VGF.
Note: This was December 2016.

I had a package shipped from Amazon to SSR in December 2016; no charge.

The policy seems to be that there will be a charge but not all resorts are following the policy.

I ordered a cell phone case that was delivered to AKV-Jambo House December 2016, I was not charged.

Thanks everyone for your answers. It appears the charge may be "hit or miss" so to speak. I guess I just need to wait and see if I'll be charged!
