Disney grocery delivery charge going to $10

[RAD]

I noticed that on the current BWV grocery order form it says that the service charge will be going from $5 to $10 effective 6/1/2011.

I looked up the delivery fees for WeGoShop and GardenGrocer a couple weeks ago. The following is the summary of what I found.

Here are WeGoShop's delivery fees....

Shop and Delivery Rates:

Grocery total up to $50.00 = $17.00 service fee
Grocery total between $50.00 - $100.00 = $22.00 service fee
Grocery total between $100.00 - $200.00 = $27.00 service fee
Grocery total between $200.00 - $300.00 = $37.00 service fee
Grocery total over $300.00 = 13% of grocery total, service fee

A gratuity of 10% of the grocery total will be added to all orders that are left at bell services.

For Garden Grocer...

Is there a minimum order amount and delivery charge?

Yes, $40 minimum order for products listed on our website with only a $12.00 delivery charge. No delivery charge for deliveries of over $200 of products listed on our website.

Also...

Due to the rise in gas prices, we are introducing a temporary fuel surcharge of $1.99 effective immediately. We apologize for this inconvience, and look forward to removing this fee once gas prices return to under $3.00 a gallon.

So from these statements, WeGoShop costs more for delivery fees by this amount...
$40-50 spent - $15
$50-100 spent - $8
$100-200 spent - $13
$200 -300 spent - $37
I believe the $8 or $13 dollars is easily made up by the non inflated price of the groceries.

We used WeGo for some drinks, breakfast and snack items for the week costing $84. It was a $22 delivery fee well spent. Spending $3.99 for a case of water paid for it. It turned out many of our items were on sale really bringing the prices down.

Gratuities are one think I don't know how to add to the comparison. With WeGo being a personal delivery service there is an expectation of a Gratuity. I'm not sure about GG. They may also have that expectation. If you have groceries delivered to Bell Services before you arrive there will be gratuities to figure in for their service. What do people pay? $2 per bag? or is that only luggage?

I wouldn't pay £10 dollars to Disney for such a limited choice. I have used GG in the past but was not that impressed we choose to swing past publix and get our shopping now. Far easier and lots of choice.

There's a Hess station that's pretty much right across the street from DTD and there's a Hess that's located right in front of the Boardwalk entrance.

We usually hit the Publix that's right up the street from the Premium Outlets. Its not even probably a mile from DTD. There's several groceries right outside WDW (Goodings, etc) but we prefer the Publix.

Just found publix actually..

how much do you think a taxi would be to there from POR?
