Grocery deliveries...all the ins and outs, information wanted!

[Megsmachine]

Hello
Interested in finding out about grocery delivery to the resorts. Does bell services keep them for you until you can pick up? If you have a late arrival (after 11pm) can they still be delivered to bell services and we can pick up when we get there?

Also input for who you've had the best experience with, thanks!

I might be inclined to schedule a delivery for the next day if I'm arriving after 11. It's more that I'd just want to get to the room and not wait for lightly staffed luggage assistance or bell services to look for stuff.

I've used them all over the years, Amazon, Garden Grocer and Publix through instacart. Although the last time I used instacart, they had to call me to get my last name to leave the delivery with bell services. One year I ordered from all 3 due to pricing and supply chain whack a mole.

Do you prefer one over the other? We used Walmart last year and had no issues. We also had to switch rooms after receiving our groceries, and Bell Services moved everything for us, including all of the groceries and stuff in the refrigerator to the new room.

It's usually a matter of pricing/inventory more than anything else and it mattered more when we were still buying diapers/pull-ups/swim diapers. Someone would be out of stock on the type or size we needed.

We have used Instacart for the past several years with no problems. We have the service at home so it makes sense for us. We use Publix and have them delivered to the resort - I always add the items we want to the cart ahead of time (make sure that you have the correct address for the resort you are staying at selected!) and when we arrive at MCO, I go ahead and place the order. We always meet the delivery driver because we do order some wine/beer for the room and have to show ID, however I know friends of ours frequently have bell services hold their orders that don't include it. Like a previous poster said, if you are arriving that late, it may be better to place the order and have it delivered first thing the next morning.
