Return label for resort box?

[jpeka65844]

Some people have suggested that when you ship yourself a box of supplies to your resort, that you can request a return label to ship it back home.

Has anybody done this? I would love to put things in the box to ship home but would be afraid that the return label wouldn't be enough postage, that I might overpack the box.

Is that something you just have to be careful not to do?

We normally ship our pirate costumes to the ship ahead of time. Since there is no UPS store on the ship (and we use Disney transportation to WDW, so no local stops), we ship them back (plus any souvenirs) from the resort.

The front desk either takes care of it (Wilderness Lodge, for instance) or some resorts have a separate office that deals with convention shipping (i.e., Boardwalk). Either way, they usually have the UPS forms and will bill the appropriate shipping fees to your room.

I pack a self-adhesive label with my address on it and some packing tape (usually the end of a roll) into the box that I ship down. Then I just pack up what I'm going to ship home into the same box that I shipped my stuff down to the resort, tape it up, slap my own address label on it and take it down to the front desk. They weigh it and tell me the cost and ask how I would like to pay for it. I just let them put the charge onto my room charges. It works real slick. By having the box ready to go, it saves time at the front desk. I take it down the night before when I notice there's not a long line rather than as I'm trying to check out and in a hurry.
