What is the latest on Staples shipping water to resorts...??? Free shipping???

[3PRINCESSMOM]

Does anyone have up-to-date information? I have read conflicting reports. Some say they don't ship any more; while others say they do but now charge a shipping fee (even to rewards members). Anyone have the low-down? Thanks!

we also got free shipping in May 07

 

[Redbudlover]

did you order online or call?

 

[3PRINCESSMOM]

Thanks. I am going to try calling. If that doesn't get me free shipping then I'll do it online. In Nov '06 we did it. However, as I said, since then I have read conflicting reports. I let you know how I make out with calling.

Thanks!

As you can see, I'm quite new at all this, so I'm sure I'm missing something...but why would you want to ship office supplies to a resort while you're on vacation?

They are having water shipped -- not office supplies. Aparently, there is no water in central Florida.

I ordered 2 cases in late June from Staples.com without any problems, had to order a card for my camera to get the free shipping for orders over $50, water arrived 2 days before I did at the resort.

Where do you have it delivered to? Do you use the hotel's actual address? Do they hold the package at the desk if it arrives before you? This is a good idea, since we will not have a car to go to costco. It saves a lot of money.

Why is there no water in central Florida, that is pretty rediculous??? You can't go to Walmart of Publix and get a case? Am I missing something here??

Pretty hard if you don't have a car. It is cheaper to just have it delivered for free instead of paying a taxi or renting a car for the day. If a company is willing to ship it for free then why add an extra thing to do while on vacation.

We had it shipped in January 07 and again, May 07........I have Staples Rewards and Jan was free with no minimum order. When I ordered in May, the rules had changed.......even Rewards members pay shipping if it's under $50. I ordered anyway, and total was about $21 for two cases including the shipping.
As far as going to Walmart/Target/Publix......it's far easier to have Bell Services bring it to your door than having to lug two cases of water through all those long hallways.......also, some people don't have a vehicle available......they use ME and then Disney transport onsite......we always have a rental car, but, DH would rather not carry those heavy cases through the halls.

A few weeks ago, we ordered 2 cases of bottled water from staples.com and had it delivered to CSR. Even though we did not get the free shipping (even though we have a Rewards card) the total cost was only $21.00 including tax and S & H.

Why did we ship water to Disney? 3 reasons

-Simply do not like the taste of the "tap" water or the Dasini water they sell.
-Makes for a much better cup of coffee (if, of course, you have a coffee maker in your room)
-Even if we liked Dasini, I would rather use the hundred bucks we saved on something else in Disney!

How many bottles do you get in a case and how many oz. per bottle? Thanks.

Never got a straight answer from Staples yet some fellow Disers have said PS is not available anywhere in Florida. I know when we tried to order PS, it kept coming up with a msg that it was "unavailable for the (WDW) zipcode." Anywhooo.....we ordered Deer Park and it was just fine.
