Stroller delivery to resort?

[hannah03]

I was thinking of ordering a new stroller for our trip. Can I order it and have it delivered to the hotel for our arrival date? Has anyone ever done this?

I have not, but I've thought about it.

I know some people who ship a package to their hotel before their trip with things they don't want to carry, so I think the resort could accommodate the delivery (I'd call to check, first, though).

One downside is if the hotel desk signs for the delivery, I wonder how that would affect your rights if the stroller arrived damaged. Also, what would you do if it didn't arrive on time?

If I were going to do it, I'd buy from a company I trusted, where I could talk to them on the phone to set up the delivery and have someone to call if things went wrong. Perhaps there is even a store in the Orlando area, which would give you the option of a drive or taxi ride to the store if you had to sort out a problem.

There's a store in Safety Harbor, FL called A running stroller ( arunningstroller.com ) that I've ordered from several times and would be willing to try this with -- I was thinking of having some accessories for my stroller delivered to the hotel before I decided to just rent a stroller from baby's best friend instead of flying with mine.

Good luck with whatever you decide.

I just did this at Vero Beach so I am sure you could do it for other resorts. I wanted a Joovy and here in Canada they are $$$ so I bought it on Amazon.com and had it shipped to Vero. The stroller was waiting in a box for me in the room when we got there.

I saved about $170 and I got the color I wanted, which I couldn't get at Babys-R-Us in Orlando...which is what I was going to do first.

I was a little nervous about it but everything went very well. Call the resort first just in case.

I think I remember seeing strollers for sale at SSR....cheap..maybe $20. Try to call ahead and see if the resort you are staying at sells them. I am going to do that myself when we go next April. It's worth a shot and you'll save on shipping.
