For the first time this year, we decided to ship home some of our souvenirs instead of waiting to take them home with us. This worked so great, that I wish I had started doing it sooner!!
One night, shopping at DTD at the World of Disney Store, everyone of us had large purchases (for us, co-workers, friends etc,). So I used my DC 10% discount there, and then had the merchandise shipped home. They didn't charge any Florida sales tax, so the shipping was almost free! Plus, all the items were insured, incase they broke in transit. The souvenirs arrived home 1 day after us, and kind of cheered us up from being being in shock that the vacation was over already!! They told us it takes about 1-2 days from purchase to be shipped, and then allow shipping time. We chose the cheapest shipping rate, and it still came quickly.
We didn't have to worry about fitting these larger purchases into suitcases and carryons for the plane trip home, or worry about anything breaking. I would recommend shipping for the convenience! I know I will be doing this from now on!
