How far in advance to order water from costco?

How far in advance should I order water from Costco? We arrive July 12. How many days before should I order it? They do sell to non members don't they? I thought I read it was like 10% extra. If the cost is $6.97/case and I need 2 cases how much do you think the shipping will be?

I have never ordered stuff like this to be sent to a resort (Pop) so I want to make sure I do it right!!

We ordered ours on April 20 for our arrival on April 28. I got an e-mail from Costco saying that it was shipped on the 22nd. So, I would say about a week to 5 days beforehand is plenty. Since you're arriving on a weekend day, I would say I would order it no later than the Monday beforehand. They will hold it for you for up to 2 weeks before, I believe.

You do not pay a fee for the water. I am not a member of Costco and I was not charged a fee. There was tax though, so it came out to like $7.50 or there abouts. The shipping is included in the cost, so 2 cases will cost you around $15 (The same amount of water bought at Disney would probably cost over $100! )

Thank you so much for the reply. I think I will try them. We only needed water so I didn't want to pay a $12 delivery fee like the other places charge.

I'll let you know how it worked out for us when we come back. Last time we ordered through Staples, which worked great, but I didn't want to pay the shipping charge so I tried Costco this time.

Thank for the info! I was going to order from Staples, but Costco is much cheaper.
