STAPLES said "NO" to Water Delivery

[lynninpa]

We called Staples to order 2 cases of bottled water to be delivered to us at CSR. The woman said that they do not deliver to "any resorts." After nicely telling her that we knew of people who do have bottled water delivered to them at Disney resorts, she said she would check with her supervisor. After being on hold for quite some time, she came back on and told us that her supervisor agreed-they do not deliver to "resorts."

We ordered at staples.com in December, maybe you need to order online.

I have had water delivered from Staples to the resorts twice before with February, 2007 being the latest delivery. I always order online.

Again - I posted this in another thread..

If you're going to have anything sent ahead to your resort.. read this post first..

And yes, doing it online should get over these 'hurdles' you're encountering on the phones.

we also did this last year through online, and it worked out nicely, I suggest you try that because it's definately worth having it down there

when I tries to order water on Staples yesterday.It just kept comming up as out of stock.I have a couple more wks before I have to order so,if someone is able to get it delivered to the resort please let us know.
It seems like there is a big market out at WDW for water.If I lived down there I would set up a stand in the parking lot of each resort and sell water like crazy
Disney should make there water cheaper or sell in bulk to resort guest.

Have you tried to order all the different brands they offer? Some are unavailable/out of stock because that brand is not available in FL (i.e., Poland Spring is not available in FL).

When I ordered water online from Staples for a Feb. trip, I had trouble entering the address. It would not recognize the street address for Pop Century as being in Lake Buena Vista. I ended up entering Pop's street address and Orlando as the city. In the comments box I noted that the water should be delivered to Disney's Pop Century resort in Lake Buena Vista and it ended up there without any problems!

I am still amazed that you all think the water at WDW is expensive. . .At DLR it is $3.50 a bottle. . .one size and its Dasani. . .I dislike Dasani so I usually bring my own but the water at WDW is much cheaper. . .

Actually, they also have a smaller size at DLR and it's priced @ $1.75. They also have the flavored Dansani water as well.

Is there a price difference at WDW v. DLR? Even at $3.50 a bottle, having to buy 10 of those a day for $33.50 is expensive when I can ship 2 cases (48 bottles) for $7.00.

I'd rather spend nothing (I just get tap water) than $2.00 or so a bottle. If I was going to get bottled water, I definitely would rather get it elsewhere, I'd rather pay like .20 a bottle intead of $2.00 (for 5 bottles a day, that is $10.00 vs. about $1.00).

I do think $2.00 or so is a LOT just for a bottle of water. Something I can just ask for at counter service and not pay at all for. Dasani is a whole other story, I can't stand it (or Aquafina - yuck!)

I thought that Costco delivers free too? I saw another post about that

 

[blessedby3]

We had 2 cases delivered to the WL this past Dec. from staples. We had free delivery, but see that now they no longer deliver for free unless you have $50 or more.

Why not use staples website, or costco's website?

Why pay $120.00 at WDW for 48 bottles of water when we can get the same amount for about $20.00?! I can most definitely find better things at Disney to spend that $100 on! And for us, it is not just the cost. I think the water they sell at Disney (Dasani) is nasty!

That is what we will end up doing. The reason I did not want to do it online in the first place was that I do not like putting CC numbers and other personal info online. A few years ago, someone got my info online and emptied out my bank acct-in Sweden!

Just add an ink cartridge or something small to your order to go over the $50 to get free shipping! That's what I'll be doing in Sept.

So how much is water at WDW?

 

[LilBlackSheep]

You can also get a bottle of water as one of your snacks early on in the day and refill the bottle at the water fountains throughout the parks.

 

[mika911]

When you guys pick up your water orders, do you just go to the bell services, or do you call to have it brought up?

I think I'll order from costco. They really don't care, if it gets there 3-4 days before you arrive? Thanks!!!

I wonder how much to order? only 2 people for a week, should I get 1 case or 2?

That's what I thought, too...I am so anxious to hear if people are getting it to work without having to spend $50. I thought that if you were a Staples Rewards member that you could ship anything for free (at least we did that last year for our trip), but when I was researching for this trip, it looked like I couldn't do it without making a $50 order. Can't wait to hear what you guys say about this. This was such a money saver for us last year!
