Give some thought to methods of delivery. Most of our partners allow you to enter a delivery address different to your home address (also called a 'shipping address'). For smaller items many people specify their work address as the delivery address.

This usually means you would be on hand to collect an item, and that there would be somebody to take delivery at all times. Although a work address is convenient; a neighbour's address may be better for bulky items. It will depend on what you are buying. Most couriers will require a signature and somebody will need to sign for the delivery.

If you opt for postal delivery rather than courier, you will be able to request an alternative delivery date from your postman using the card posted through your door. Some couriers also offer one additional delivery if the first one misses. If you use a courier, your delivery will be held in a depot, and you should be able to contact the courier and/or the depot to arrange re-delivery.
