Does any one know who will deliver to your resort for free? I am guessing there is a minimum $ amt you have to pay, but it would help to have a case of water there. We'll be there for 10 days.

Staples no longer offeres free delivery.

We used Wegoshop last trip and have no complaints!

We had 2 cases of water (48 bottles total) delivered for the 5 of us (DH, Myself, DD 5, DD 4 and DS 14 months) for our 5 day trip.

We ended up with just 8 bottles left over.

We also had milk, OJ, fruit, bread, snacks and cereal delivered for a small fee.

We DId NOT have a fridge, but rather just took a cooler on wheels as one of our checked bags (Filled iwth disposable plates, cups, bowls, and plastic wear, PB & J, and other hearty snacks and kept it full of ice while we were there, draining it and adding more ice every morning and evening. Everything kept fresh our entire stay. On our return trip, we used it for dirty clothing that was worn during/ after laundry night, and we blessed another family with our "leftover" fruit, cheese sticks and water.

There was a small delivery fee, but it was nice to e-mail them our exact list and have it fulfilled with our favorites. (Expect water since our "favorite" is a local one, but their substitute was just fine).

SO instead of paying postage on your snacks, invest in a grocery delivery service and have the comfort of knowing things will arrive in good condition!!

Thanks for the info..! I'm not sure how much food we really need though since we are on the dining plan. I'm sending more snacks than food items.
