Shipping OOTB goodies to hotel?

[eringirl79]

I have boxes of goodies to ship to hotel... Has anyone done this before? What is the best way to do this? Who do I contact to set this up? FI has tried calling just the main hotel # and just gets bounced around, with no answer to the question. We are staying at the Wyndham Grand Bay in Miami.

If you set up a group room block at the hotel, you can ask your room coordinator. otherwise, just call the front desk and let them know you need to ship a package for a hotel guest and ask them if there are any special instructions. Typically, you just want to schedule it to arrive the day of (or one day before at the very earliest) to your attention, care of the hotel. so for ex.

Hope this helps.

Ask them to have it arrive 3-5 days ahead.. I used what was supposed to be "guranteed" UPS to have group stuff sent on to hotel in Seattle last June..ooops.. they goofed and it showed up the day after we sailed.. Of course they had to return to me but then I paid to re-send to homes.. IMHO Fed Ex is most reliable way.. pay the extra and do next day delivery so you will KNOW a couple days before you leave that it's there safely.. Just call front desk at the hotel.. they will work with you.

I've worked on a number of conventions where I had to ship boxes of stuff in advance to the hotel - just speak with one of the special events coordinators at the hotel to arrange for receipt. Check on your delivery as soon as you arrive.
