Crazemama26AKA Janelle 5 Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Has anyone ever shipped a box to the Fort? We are going to order a screen room for our new camper and it takes Jayco 3wks to make however we leave on Dec 12th. I was thinking about having it shipped to the Fort. The one hang up is that we don't check-in til Dec 22 and will be on a cruise from 12/15-12/22 so there's a good chance it will get there before we do. Any advice? Suggestions?? I thought about having it shipped to my parents and then having them ship it down a couple of days before we get there so it would be there on Fri 12/21 but they are not very reliable so there's a good chance it won't get shipped. Ugh! I really want this to help cage keep my twins in or atleast slow them down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy and Grandma 740 Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Having it sent is not a problem, but you need to be there to receive it. They may not even accept the delivery if they don't have your name matched to a site because of the loss liability. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Crazemama26AKA Janelle 5 Posted November 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Thanks for the replies!Carol, would they hold it for a week or so? They say it will ship on 12/14.I understand what Grumpy and Grandma are saying cause if it gets lost somewhere in the shuffle at the fort I would be out $750 and I would be sad, very sad.

mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 That I don't know Janelle.Are they shipping it USPS or UPS Ground?Perhaps you could request it be shipped and held at a UPS location near the Fort? Then you could swing by and pick it up when you arrive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Then you could swing by and pick it up when you arrive.IIRC UPS and FEDEX both have "Requested delayed delivery" or why can't you have JAYCO hold the shipping so that it will arrive a day before or the day you arrive.

Crazemama26AKA Janelle 5 Posted November 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Well I've decided to have it shipped here and hopefully it will arrive by 12/14 and my DD can bring it down with her when she flys down on 12/14. If it doesn't come by then I will have my mom mail it down to me at the fort a couple of days before we get off the boat so it will be there waiting. Fingers crossed that this will work otherwise I will need a cage for my girls :rofl3: I still may need one anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
