Grocery click and collect or delivery OFFSITE

I know there is a similar thread running for onsite grocery deliveries but promise my question is a little different.

We arrive from the UK on a later flight, so not going to get to our townhouse at Encantada until about 8pm. I have checked with the resort reception and the owner's MC and Garden Grocer cannot leave the groceries there unless we are there to receive them and their latest slot is 7-9pm. I have contacted Garden Grocer and they said they cannot guarantee a delivery time after 8pm, and if for any reason our flight was delayed we would lose our delivery slot. Ideally we would like a bottle of wine too wink

So is there anyone else that delivers to the door who might deliver later, or does anyone do what we call 'click and collect'. In that case our order would be ready for collection at the grocery store, so we could collect it on our way from the airport, without wasting time and energy when we are tired and jetlagged (with 3 young children) trawling round a strange supermarket buying essential groceries.

The next morning is too late for deliveries, as based on experience we tend to wake up at 4am hungry for breakfast on our first morning!

Thanks

Never thought of that Robyn, actually I know of someone who will also be at Encantada at the same time as us, will have to work out how to get in touch again and see if their dates work out.

But just checked the route and stopping in to collect from AKL only adds 6mins to our drive from the airport clapping , but might be a pain for you as we wouldn't be able to collect it without you there. Or we could dump our stuff at the townhouse and come round for a drink with you and collect it (though can't rely on the kids' moods)? But don't want to spoil your plans.
