we used SHIPT for our last trip and loved the service. But doesn't seem to be used much now.
Since liquor is not at the grocery stores, who should we use for grocery delivery that can also delivery the strong stuff?

I know folks have alcohol delivered because I see posts about Bell Services not holding it for you if you aren't there with an ID
 
Have you looked at Instacart or shipt? I thought last time I was there total wine and some other Liquor stores were options to order from. Just had to meet the driver at the front with ID

Instacart can deliver both groceries and hard liquor. Yes you need to meet your delivery driver and show ID. My personal choice would be Kroger or Walmart for the food items and then use Instacart for the liquor. The food prices will be lower at Kroger vs via Instacart.

Kroger delivers to the resorts and they will deliver liquor with an ID at pick up. I prefer Kroger over most of the other options because they come in a refrigerated truck, so if you're also ordering milk it's not sitting the back of someone's car.

Kroger delivers liquor, too. No need for two separate orders.

We used SHIPT before and loved it. Has the same delivery person for both our orders that week.
I can’t really figure out why it doesn’t seem to be used by other posters now.

So use it again there is no peer pressure. I think there are no reports on Shpt deliveries at WDW is simply because it started as part of Target and by the time it got spun off there was quite a variety of competitors.

@cropper want's Hard liquor so I mentioned Instacart for that part of the answer.

Kroger delivers vodka, rum, brandy, whisky, gin, tequila, etc.

Yes but a somewhat limited selection. Instacart delivers for ABC Fine Wine & Spirits which has a much larger selection of brands.

That's true. Especially if you're wanting something specific. I guess I'd check Kroger first to see if they have what you want, and if you're looking for something else then still get your groceries from Kroger and use instacart for the alcohol.

I do not work for Kroger but I just think they're so much better than most of the deliveries. I am a local and I know people who have worked for some of the local delivery companies for extra cash (including some of the most popular ones) and your perishables absolutely do sit in cars for 2-3 hours sometimes.

Yes I agree that the refrigerated trucks that Kroger uses for delivery are a major improvement over a private vehicle delivery.

I am still trying to figure out why Kroger built that massive distribution center in the Orlando area when they don't really have a massive footprint in the local area.

We have one here in Oklahoma too. It is their warehouse for all the items they deliver instead of storefronts. I see their trucks delivering around all the time!!
I love to go to the store so I haven't used them too much at home.

A lot of locals use Kroger delivery because they're cheaper than Publix. I see the trucks all the time in my neighborhood. I think, though, that the distribution center allows them to reach the entire Orlando area vs having an actual store that will not get as much business as Publix. That's my guess.

I think it is funny Publix tried this experiment more than 23 years ago. They had a whole fleet of refrigerated trucks for the pilot and offered home delivery. We loved it but they gave up after 2 years.
