Shipping Bottled Water

[CheapMom]

This is not a WDW question but there is a place I want to ship water to in the MS Gulf region- Does anyone know the best way to do this? Staples says it will take 19 days to deliver- they won't offer next day/expedite shipping- I don't know if it is because of the logistics of getting stuff there because of the hurricane or what.
I want to send it from by phone order or online order- I don't want to buy it and then take it to UPS - I don't have the space in my car or the time to do that today or tomorrow- and I really want it to go out today.

What about Netgrocer.com? Or do a web search for "grocery delivery, X city"?

Are you sending this to a person or as part of a relief effort? If it is just in general, I'd say it would make a lot more sense to just donate the money to the Red Cross or MS local food bank, where they can handle getting needed supplies in bulk.

Anyone know?

It is part of a releif effort- we chose one shelter (there are so many to choose from) that is (like so many other shelters) in short supply of food and water. We are driving there next week with a truck full of food and necessities but I spoke to the director yesterday and they have NO drinking water. They have some canned fruit and applesauce and some soup so the director does not feel that people are getting dehydrated but they are thirsty and would like to have drinking water. I don't want them to have to wait until next week.
We gave money to the Red Cross- we still see too much suffering and feel the need to offer some direct help to these people.

Hi -

Costco will deliver an order of $100 or more, so you could check to see if there are any Costco's near the shelter and place the order with them for $100 worth of water for delivery.

Good luck -
