When you embark on a thrilling adventure at Universal Orlando Resort, the last thing you want is to be weighed down by shopping bags. Luckily, Universal Orlando offers a convenient solution to enhance your shopping experience and make your visit even more enjoyable. With the complimentary package pick-up and delivery service, you can breeze through the parks without the burden of carrying your purchases. This is something we have taken advantage of several times, especially when we are traveling without a park bag. Let’s dive into the details of this fantastic service and discover how it can simplify your Universal Orlando experience.
Convenience at Every Corner
Imagine strolling through the enchanting theme parks, exploring vibrant shops, and discovering unique treasures, all while unencumbered by heavy bags (or purchases larger than free lockers). Universal Orlando understands the importance of a seamless shopping experience, which is why they offer complimentary package pick-up and delivery services. Simply inform the cashier during your purchase that you would like to take advantage of this service, and they will ensure your items are securely stored and provide you with a receipt for later pickup. Your items should arrive at the pick-up location within 3 hours of purchase.
Remember, it’s crucial not to leave any personal items in your shopping bags. This precaution will prevent any inadvertent mix-ups or potential loss of personal belongings. And don’t forget, you can drop off your purchases at most stores throughout the theme parks and CityWalk to have them expertly delivered to your hotel or pick-up location. I made a purchase one day and later decided I didn’t want to carry it around, so was able to quickly using my receipt to leave it at a different store.
Pick-Up Locations:
Universal Orlando provides designated pick-up locations for your convenience. If you made purchases at Universal’s Islands of Adventure or Universal Studios Florida, head to the Universal Studios Store at CityWalk for a hassle-free pick-up experience. This central location allows you to effortlessly retrieve your belongings on your way out, ensuring a stress-free end to your day of adventure. For those visiting Universal’s Volcano Bay, swing by the Waturi Marketplace, conveniently situated near the main exit turnstiles, to collect your purchases.
Hotel Delivery
For guests staying at one of Universal Orlando’s exceptional hotels, the convenience of the package delivery service extends to your accommodation. Your purchased merchandise can be delivered directly to your hotel, free of charge. The next day, you can pick up your items from the luggage services or front desk, saving you precious time and effort. Just imagine waking up to find your beloved souvenirs waiting for you, ready to be enjoyed. Please note that the delivery service cannot be used on your check-out day, so be sure to utilize the pick-up services available within the parks. The package deliveries to the hotels are typically scheduled between 9 am and 4 pm on the day following your purchase.
If you prefer to have your items delivered to your home, inquire about Universal Orlando’s FedEx service, which offers the convenience of doorstep delivery for an additional fee.
Con: Impulse Buying
With the convenience of package pick-up and delivery, it can be tempting to make impulsive purchases without fully considering their cost or necessity. The ease of having your items delivered to the front of the park or your hotel may encourage you to shop more freely, potentially leading to overspending. Keep this in mind if you are traveling on a budget. We took advantage of this during Father’s day and bought more at the Jurassic Park 30th Anniversary Tribute Store than we normally would.
