View Full Version : Ever sent a package from home to your resort?

We've decided to fly in vs. taking the long drive down the East coast. Which means we are also taking the Magical Express service to our resort.

We are going to have a grocery order ready for us, but, as I looked at the prices I thought, perhaps it made sense to buy the dry non-perishable items from home and then pack them, but where to pack? We are down there for 2 full weeks and will need most of our suitcases for clothing.

So then I went on to ponder whether or not I should ship a box full of the items we can't find on the grocery list or can get for a lot less.(low-carb bread, splenda, instant oatmeal, herbal tea, etc.)

I'm also going to order 2 cases of water directly from Fijiwater.com (http://fijiwater.com) and have it shipped to the resort.

There are a few around here who've shipped things from home. If I remember right they made sure to put the following on their bos:

Name
Arrival Date
confirmation number (?)

in addition to the address of the resort.

I'm sure Mickeymac will be along soon to fill you in as I believe she's the one who's done this..

Yeah, that's what they said at the front desk when I called, to make sure my Check In Date is clearly on the box

MM has done it before. I found the topic in Mousellaneous, this was her comment- "I've mailed stuff to myself at Sports, and will be sending another package to myself at AKL on Monday - shipping it UPS probably so I have a tracking number, making out the address label like this:

First Last
Guest #(confirmation number)
Resort Name
Resort Addy
Resort City, ST, Zip

Down at the bottom I've got check-in date, please hold for pick-up."

Hope you didn't mind Mickeymac?
