How far in advance do you typically place your grocery order?

I am planning to order from GG and I'm wondering how far in advance I should order? We arrive mid-May.

Thanks!

You can wait until the last minute, but the delivery slots will start filling up, and you may not get a time that is best for you. We have used Garden Grocer and Wego Shop, and with GG, time didn't matter because we were waiting at the resort for our son and famuily to arrive anyway, but with Wego (a smaller operation), we had to wait about three hours after check-in because we didn't place our order until about a week before arrival. No big deal for us, but I imagine that many people are antsy to get out and about.

I've used GG twice, had great experiences both times. I placed my order about 2 weeks prior to check in.

Thank you for your reply everyone. I will place our order approx 2 weeks in advance and ask for it to be left with bell services if we're in the parks. I doubt we will wait for our room to become available.

Can we add a tip when we place our order?

Yes you can.

I always about wonder that too...I don't know what's an appropriate percentage. We typically add $10 for a $65-70 order which puts it close to 15%. It just seems easier to round it off to an even $10 for some reason.

OP - I usually place my order with GG about 3 weeks ahead so I'm sure to get the delivery time slot I want...

That's a good question. I, too, was thinking 15%.

I think I will place our order a bit sooner. Has anyone added on to their grocery list once it's been placed?
