I heard a rumour that they will start charging a $5 handling fee for any grocery deliveries that you order for your room. Has anyone heard of this and can confirm if it is true?
I agree that fee will replace a tip for most. I hope the fee ends up going to them.That is a shame- I don't mind paying it because I always tip at least that but I feel it will decrease the $ earned by the folks actually doing the work.
I will still tip and for me the extra $5 is still worth it because of the total cost savings but again I think the CM's will feel the pinch and that's disappointing. (And yes if the groceries are in the room when we arrive I do take a walk over to bell services and tip at some point during the trip.)
This has been stated for many years, it is not new.
The CONVENTION resorts state that they can charge a fee per box, for items shipped to them. I have never been charged, but they reserve the right to do so. Many folks are charged this fee.
Are the items limited to groceries or are strollers and ECV's also included in this new charge?This is a NEW charge for items left at Bell Services, which has not been charged before.
Honestly, I don't see it as a big deal.
Having those groceries delivered saves SO MUCH over buying in the parks-- even just the 2 cases of water we order represent a tremendous savings. If it costs me an extra $5, out of all the thousands we spend on a week at WDW, I can live with that.

I don't like this.
It is not a big deal. It's $5 for the convenience of being able to have this stuff dropped off for you instead of having to get it yourself. Oh no. /sHonestly, I don't see it as a big deal.

If your order is coming from Garden Grocer, Instacart or another grocery service it is a $5.00 flat fee. It is the order's coming UPS, FedEx etc. that the fee is per box.When people say $5 per box do they actually mean per box or per delivery? My small delivery of groceries came in 3 separate items - water, small bag refrigerator items and larger bag of everything else. It wouldn’t be worth it if they decided to charge per item rather than per delivery. Or at that point it might make it worth it to taxi to the nearest grocery store.
