Shipping to OKW

[anchorman314]

A family member is going to OKW in 3 weeks (not that I'm jealous or anything ) and was planning on ordering some water and snacks from staples.com. When he was looking into it, they quoted shipping as taking "1-7 days". I know all of the tricks for making sure your packages actually show up at the resort (reservation #, don't use USPS, etc.). But his concern was what would happen if the shipping actually does only take 1 or 2 days? Will Bell Services hold the package for 3-5 days?

If they are amazon prime members I totally suggest that

I've used garden grocer in the past and it worked pretty well. They do have a service charge, but they will deliver perishable items as well as beer or wine. I'm not sure how long they will hold a package for you.

He had looked into using Garden Grocer, but the minimum order mark dissuaded him. He's actually packing most of the groceries he will need, so he's just trying to get some water, and threw in the snacks to get over Staples' free shipping threshold.

Yep. Not worth using GardenGrocer for a small order. I can't see them having a problem holding the package for 3 to 5 days. Once they have it it's not like they are going to send it back or throw it out. You should be good.

We just packed wine/crown and milk boxes.

The offical line is that Bell Service will hold a package for up to 2 weeks.

We just got back from SSR and I had shipped a box down ahead of time. It got there about 10 days early, and when I checked in they handed it to me.
