Will bell services hold groceries overnight?

[suebeelin]

we have a dilemma- staying in a studio one night, but wil have a car only that day. We will then move into a 2bd the next day.

Planning to buy groceries on the day we are in a studio (we have a car after all!). If we have too many perishables for the small fridge, will bell services hold the groceries overnight for us?

We do not plan to keep the car after we check into the studio (long story, DH has interview in Orlando arriving the night before and will only have a 1 day car rental). It’s not worth the $50/day for an extra day,

We will be in a beach club studio for one night then moving over to boardwalk for the next 6 nights.

I would just wait until I moved over to Boardwalk to get the groceries. Delivery is less than 50.00 for a extra day car rental

You can sign up for Instacart and have your groceries free for your first order.

Isn’t instacart expensive?

Was just hoping bell services will hold the groceries overnight if our studio fridge is too small...

You can go online and check instacart prices at Publix. Bell Services will hold overnight, will you be taking your luggage and food over to BWV yourself or are they being transferred by bell services?

I would order food to be delivered the day you are in your 2 bedroom. I wouldn't hassle with buying the food and then trying to have them store it for you.

For a large order, I get exactly why you do not want delivery. The 5-15% extra that delivery services tack on top of regular prices can really add up.
What if you got all of your non-perishable items in advance, stapled them up in paper bags, and had bell services hold only those overnight? You could then use instacart to have just the refrigerated goods delivered once you have a fridge big enough to handle them. It would reduce the amount added on and avoid the stress of not knowing if they will hold for you or not.
