Comment on How do I deliver an American eBay package to my hotel?

You can have things shipped to yourself at the hotel, it’s actually quite common e.g.
Firstname Lastname (Guest) Fancy Hotel Name 123 This Street This City, State, Zip Code
That said it might be helpful to notify the front desk that you plan to receive package(s) during your stay in the case they set up a different procedure for that.
Also be aware sometimes you’ll just need to check in with the front desk or receiving department if there are any packages for you - More than a few receiving departments at hotels just don’t do the extra work to notify guests that packages arrived for them… this sometimes results in the guest checking out without ever knowing there was something waiting for them to pick up.

Ah I see. So I will need to put in the address of the hotel when ordering something and when I have ordered it, I will need to notify the front desk that there will be a package coming soon. Is that right?

That’s the idea. But definitely check with the hotel if they will accept and how long they’ll hold it for. Some hotels only accept guest packages for a few days before their check-in; they’re usually not going to want to hold it for a week or two. Maybe something you can work on with the seller to time the shipment appropriately?

Yup, I’ve done it many times. They’ll just call your room when it arrives.
