PrimeNow - no spray sunscreen?

[TavieP]

(I’m going to try making this its own thread)

I'm considering switching to PrimeNow for my upcoming trip, instead of Garden Grocer, because the prices are better and also because we land pretty late at night (around 10:30) and PrimeNow has slightly later delivery slots available. I figure I'll place the order the night before and schedule it for the latest slot possible the next day (8-10 pm I think?) and Bell Services will hold the stuff for us until we arrive.

Question - kind of a random one - I'm not seeing any spray sunscreen available at all when I search for Primenow stuff in the Orlando zipcode. Do they just not carry that or should I try again later? I see plenty of lotion sunscreen, but we prefer spray and don't want to check bags. I guess we can pick some up at the resort when we arrive/the next morning. I was just wondering if there was some reason Primenow doesn't seem to carry it?

I’m glad to see someone else arriving late who is doing Prime Now. Our flight arrives around 10:45 pm, so I anticipate us getting to the resort around midnight, and I could not find any info on whether the resort would hold a Prime Now delivery so we could get the items that late. We will likely want our bottled water that night to get it cold for the next day. And I don’t want to be dealing with a morning delivery when we’re trying to get to the park the next morning.

I believe they will based on other threads I've read here about PrimeNow - I certainly hope they will because I'm biting the bullet and going for it! I'll report back if there's any issues.

They just might be out of stock. One bad thing about Prime Now is when it's out of stock, it's just gone. No comments like Item is temporary out of stock or item will be in stock on June 1st.

A few trips ago, I didn't realize things went out of stock. I had a list for weeks. We get to disney and go to order and all diet Pepsi and diet coke is gone in cans and 16 oz bottles. I thought I was doing something wrong. I debated waiting a day or so, but ended up ordering something else instead. The soda I wanted wasn't in stock for days.

Next time I would order the day before, so at least if I have to choose something else, I'm not wasting Disney time make changes on the order.

Bell Services will hold your order. When we were there in april, I had 3 orders during our trip. It wasn’t all smooth sailing but we will keep using them.

A few notes...
- not all drivers are good at this gig..and the bell services staff at BLT and CR had nothing good to say about them...
- our first order had a mix of cold and room temp items, but the prime shopper had put the string cheese in the room temp items so they stayed out at bell services and in our room for a while before we noticed and also some of our bananas were smushed. I called Amazon and they were VERY easy to deal with. They gave me a refund on those items, a credit, and made an adjustment to give me free shipping so that’s i could replace them at no cost.
- one of my 3 orders was delivered to BLT while 2 went to CR. Finding the one that went to BLT was difficult for all of us!
- we had a few items go out of stock but I missed the alert that told me WHAT went out - I was glad I had taken screenshots of my cart to figure it out! I wish it went to a ‘save for later’ bucket or something!

I don’t share any of this to scare you - we will keep using this without a doubt! When my dad realized he forgot his razor - we had one at the resort within 2 hours (and added some gallons of water for making coffee too!)

When it happened to me I noticed my cart total had dropped about $20, but had no idea why.

This past trip , we traveled with our DS and family. We did a big order with safeway , food was fine, but hard time finding it. Took three times with bell services to get it all.

And a second "oh we need a couple of things " order with prime now. Like you we will continue to use it and hope the glitches get worked out.

My spray sunscreen question is answered - they were, indeed, out - I now see some available!
