Provided I contact in advance the mail order company that they ship to hotels and that I calculate correctly for the items to arrive prior or at the beginning of my stay, things should go well... in theory.
Did anyone have any problems so far? Thanks for sharing your experience.
This happens all the time, especially for people preparing meetings or conferences...
Just inform the front desk, who will notify the person at receiving, most receiving staff will have signing authority for the major carriers as well...
